Dinosaurs 'produced enough flatulence to force climate change' | Mail Online
The team calculated the animals would have collectively produced more than 520m tons of methane a year - more than all today's modern sources put together.
It is thought these huge amounts could easily have been enough to warm the planet.
It is even possible that the climate change was so catastrophic that it caused the dinosaurs eventual demise.

So it took the dinosaurs 200-PLUS million years to kill themselves off?
How stupid are these people?
Obviously, we need immediate federal legislation to forever forbid Michael Moore from ever again eating any beans!
These people are more stupid than you could ever imagine...
Methane is very poor absorber of IR, heat wave, radiation. It is virtually transparent to it. See the absorption chart on the NASA writeup on John Tyndall or that at the American Meteorological website, Wikipedia, etc. For the Gore Gang to call it "a greenhouse gas" is a joke and where the dinosaurs were one of our most successful, longest living species these people have become utterly ridiculous.

Darn vegans, they'll stink up a room every time!
So did this global-warming event also cause the asteroid-impact previously-believed to be the well-defined cause of the dinosaurs demise?
The only climate problem 65 million years ago was when a bloody great comet ripped it to pieces and put the planet into a nuclear winter.
Even if this was true the climate was hugely beneficial to life at this time, and far better than the cold CO2 starved world we live in today.
So perhaps the dinosaurs farted themselves into nirvana?
There is no bigger fart than a scientist, especially the global warming kind.
I postulated the same theory years ago. My argument was that the mammoth elephants backed up to the glaciers and let it fly. It melted almost all of the Wisconsin glacier back to the artic circle.
OMG! Is it April 1 already?
So, if farts cause global warming, and these crazed "scientists" are trying not to cause global warming, what do these scientists do when they get that bloated feeling--hold it in??? Maybe that explains why so many of them look like they have something stuck up their nether regions.
