Like huge cows, the mighty sauropods would have generated enormous quantities of methane.
Sauropods, recognisable by their long necks and tails, were widespread around 150 million years ago.
They included some of the largest animals to walk the Earth, such as Diplodocus, which measured 150 feet and weighed up to 45 tonnes. <---Snip

This concept/theory seems to work in my cubicle.
To: DaveyB
The giant sauropods referred to were extinct by the Cretaceous. In fact the number of dinosaur species had diminished to about 26 or so. And while triceratops and the hadrosaurs may have been flatulent, I don’t thinki they were capable of producing the amount of CO2 the article envisages.

So I take it that the planet Jupiter wasn’t the only gaseous giant in the solar system.

The Global Warming “scientists” have finally “jumped the shark”
What total dinosaur crap is this theory.

More methane emanates from Foggy Bottom (ahem) in one year than that of the entire Jurassic. sd

My theory is that dinosaurs could not pass gas and that is why they are no longer with us. BANG!

Lots of pre-historic broccoli for Dino & friends.

''Our simple proof-of-concept model suggests greenhouse warming by sauropod megaherbivores could have been significant in sustaining warm climates.'' And just look what happened to the planet!!! It's, uh, .... still here.
Well, look what happened to life on the planet!!! It, uh, increased and diversified a million-fold. You could say that since the dinosaurs life has gone ape s#!t all over the world. Just catastrophic isn't it?

I think they may be onto something. When my dog cuts one he can clear a room. Can you possibly imagine what a dinosaur fart must have smelled like?
To: DaveyB
What a load of crap.
When one of these “scientists” can explain why the hottest period on record is the Roman period (not an SUV in sight) we’ll consider to their theories.
Until then weather happens.

How could the dinosaurs release more carbon into the atmosphere than was in the vegetation that they ultimately acquired it from?

Ah, Yes! The Big Bang Extinction Theory...Perhaps we could get the fat Gore-bal warming idiot to fart in DC and extinct the occupiers of the Congressional halls and the executible branch.
