Did Sauropod Farts Warm Our Planet?

Loving this little article i found on New Scientist http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn21783-sauropod-farts-warmed-the-planet.html.

What is says is essentially was our planet getting warmed up through the methane in Sauropods and other dinosaurs. What they reckon is that the global population of these dinosaurs released about 520 million tonnes of methane a year which contributed to warming the Earth and this is apparently estimated to be the same as the total current emissions of greenhouse gas.

Wowza. Also during this time there were no polar ice caps, could this be because of some massive farting dinosaurs...

Go check the full article.

Cheers.

Bad Universe

I'm going to make this short. I watched the first episode of Bad Universe today and loved it. Its such a clever show and very entertaining just like any show that makes things go boom.
Phil Plait is also excellent in this and presents everything in chunks which your brain can feed on quite delightfully.
So yeah watch it, just a suggestion. Its too good to just pass on by. The fate of the world may be in your hands. Boom (Asteroid Doom)
