STOP BURRITO PROLIFERATION - NOW!

Bean plants grow by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere and converting it to chemicals useful to the plant (by photosynthesis). And then we eat the beans and return the CO2 to the atmosphere. It's the cycle of life.

According to the IPCC, the 20 year Global Warming Potential of methane is 72, which means that if the same mass of methane and carbon dioxide were introduced into the atmosphere, that methane will trap 72 times more heat than the carbon dioxide over the next 20 years.

Flatulence methane will destroy us all!

(especially if one is trapped in an elevator or closed automobile)

Need I say it? /sarc

Of course in the cycle of bean growth, and bean digestion, a certain amount of by-product methane is generated.
