Dinosaur flatulence may have led to global warming

Dinosaurs may have warmed the prehistoric Earth's climate thanks to enormous amounts of methane-producing flatulence, researchers say.

    that's quite the population density - the sauropods' biomass must have been a lot higher than the ruminants we have in the world today.

    Maybe Ralph Klein was right about something for once;

    Scary, is it not?

    This throws a little wrench into the whole "We are causing global warming to occur faster than ever and animals won't be able to adapt" thing.

    I wonder which government department gave these idiots their research grant.

    It must have been one gigantic fart that wiped out the Dinosaurs.

    Better use for it that all those damned studies that say X is bad, then the next one says it is good and it goes back and forth.

    That's true.

    The next study will show/prove that Dinosaurs didn't fart.

    Or that they did but it actually led to the last global cooling.

    Dino is getting a bad rap man. If it isn't his farts being blamed for global warming, it's his remains that are being blamed. :lol:

    It was one of those rare events in hisory when a herd of diplodocid sauropods found a new patch of vegetation. It was tasty, but it caused severe GI distress due to the dinosaurs being unused to it in their diet. The next event was a sudden release of gas by this herd, numbering several hundred animals. The sudden release actually caused the earth to shift. Although it was a mere pube in the cosmic scale, it was enough to set off a chain of events in NEOs that eventually resulted in the Late Cretaceous impact and subsequent mass extinction. Leaving us with the chicken as the sole survivor.

    Dinosaurs have warmed the prehistoric Earth's climate...
    ... have produced enough methane to have "an important effect" on climate change.
    ...calculations that these dinosaurs have produced more methane than all modern sources.
    ...the group made an educated guess based on the large size of the animals (20,000 kilograms for a medium-sized sauropod) and their population density.
    Their calculations sauropod flatulence about 150 million years ago...


    Nice proof guys... now give back your research money. 8O
