Re: Global Warming
I agree that we must clean up our act by reducing pollution. And finding an alternative method of producing energy, but until we do we must continue to use the available resources. Methane is one such resource and is created by rotting waste, something that we are not short of these days. Natural Gas is made up mainly of Methane and only becomes lighter than air above room temperature.Re: Global Warming

Apparently you are all talking a load of cock.Re: Global Warming
In real life the issue of CO2 or methane being heavier or lighter is moot in that portion we call the atmosphere because of the activity in the atmosphere from wind, convection currents, changes in temperature, etc. In a controlled area this can make a difference. A farmer and 13 cattle died in my area a few weeks back because of the Methane and Sulphur Dioxide released from a Manure tank. Methane is more potent as a Greenhouse gas but gets less press.Re: Global Warming
Re: Global Warming
And even without a belief in human caused global warming, there are plenty of other incentives to reduce the use of coal ranging from the mining to the burning: Reduction in life expectancy (particulates, sulfur dioxide, ozone, heavy metals, benzene, radionuclides, etc.)Re: Global Warming

Interesting edition of Catalyst last night called The Anthropocene. If you can overcome geo blocking it is available on iView.
