 Pro  Con 1) According to the U.N., cow farts are the biggest contributor to GW.[1] 2) Monkeys breath. When mammals (such as the monkey) breath, they contribute to global warming. Ergo, monkeys contribute to GW too. (500 cap.) ----Reference---- [1] http://tinyurl.com... |

Actually, methane from cows farting contributes a significant proportion to NZ's GHG emissions."
I wasn't claiming otherwise.
My claim was these cows are domestic, i.e. not an argument against anthropogenic global warming.
Not to say there isn't evidence... just this isn't it.
Actually, methane from cows farting contributes a significant proportion to NZ's GHG emissions.
There is a lot of serious work going on here to prevent them (being Kyoto Protocol signatories).
I would expect the Tunguska Event to cause global cooling via reflective particulates as one might expect from a nuclear winter.
PoeJoe,
Global warming as a phenomenon refers to the *change* in temperature. Unless there has been a immense increase in the number of monkeys (I suspect, quite the reverse) they cannot be responsible for GW.
At this moment, the only recent independent contributions from Nature I can think of are volcanic eruptions, which as you probably know all caused global cooling.
Domesticated cattle are only here because of humans - we are responsible for them and their emissions.
Harshit,
I think you're quite right and should win this debate - not that that means anything.
Cheers
Althought the Tunguska Event certainly had nothing to do with humans... and that could potentially be the main cause of the current warming :D
Ah. India.
Cow farts=Automatic win.
