Reply #60: Excessive production of carbon dioxide is responsible for global warming, not methane

[alarimer]

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has nearly doubled since we started taking measurements (based on the analysis of ice core samples and the like). And the average globe temperature has gone up along with that. Methane is minuscule in comparison. Every animal produces CO2 but the excess comes entirely from burning fuel. The best thing we could do is stop driving so much, use more fuel efficient technologies like wind and solar.
