O.K., Ray, seriously now <g> ah, just how much methane do you figure a grass eating dinosaur produced? A hairy mamoth?

I mean, the Argentinosaurus weighed around 100,000 pounds. Sauroposeidon at 50-60 tons. Shantungosaurus at 15 tons. Brachiosaurus at 50 tons.

So, let's compare. Cattle produce between 26 and 132 gallons of methane a day. So figuring a 2,000+ pound bull will be the 132 gallons that gives us a production of 6600 gallons a day for ol' Argentinosaurus and Brachiosaurus, 7920 for Sauroposeidon and 1980 for the "little" Shantungosaurus. Ah, yup, I think they did their part <g> Good thing that meteor or ice age or whatever did them in!

Then you had all those bogs that disappeared. Now those little suckers were methane machines!

Yep, millions cooking on fires, spewing methane?

Oh, perhaps they all had very bad gas? ;-)

But what about before that? And before that?

And I have no doubt that our time here is relatively short, and the earth may well be better off without us...
