In addition to vegetation - there is live and rotting vegetation around the world - a major source is evaporation from bodies of water. > What makes this even more hilarious is that plants are needed to re-convert the dreaded CO2 into O2, and how do we control bovine flatulence? Kyoto Protocol-exempt India, in addition to having NO environmental controls to speak of has the largest number of bovine animals in the world. > The excerpts below are from the link above: > "German scientists have discovered a new source of methane, a greenhouse gas that is second only to carbon dioxide in its impact on climate change.
