With apologies to Tut from whom I borrowed this caption
The latest piece of climate change disinformation, seen in an recent TV ad we could stop emitting CO2 immediately and temperature would continue to rise for a hundred years but if we eliminate methane the problem is solved in 30 years. This ad is of course promoting a vegetarian life style
For the record so that we are all talking about the same statistics the main greenhouse effect (climate change) gases are
* water vapor, which contributes 36–72%
* carbon dioxide, which contributes 9–26%
* methane, which contributes 4–9%
* ozone, which contributes 3–7%
Therefore it is completely wrong to suggest that eliminating methane solves the problem of alleged human caused climate change
