Greenhouse gases - from our Asses!!
Farts make us feel better but make the earth warmer! Farts contribute to global warming. Honest. There is even a book on this! Read on to find out more!
​
Wondering how the Wild Spirit is farting a different tune than wildlife awareness today? Well - long story short - I was told that the Wilderbeest farts loudly while being chased by a predator - ostensibly, to confuse the predator. Being very partial to farts and brain-farts, I had to go research farts. This is what I discovered!
​A typical human fart, as per this source is composed of about 59 percent nitrogen, 21 percent hydrogen, 9 percent carbon dioxide, 7 percent methane and 4 percent oxygen.
​
​We all know that the increase of greenhouse gases in atmosphere causes global warming - right? That is because greenhouse gases retain more heat in atmosphere instead of reflecting it. See the image below from National Geographic on global warming - taken from this source.
​
So what do you see as common in farts and green house gases - Carbon dioxide and Methane!! Therefore, we DO produce greenhouse gases from our asses.
