Environmental Impact
Overview
Flatulence is often blamed as a significant source of greenhouse gases owing to the erroneous belief that the methane released by livestock is in the flatus.[1] While livestock account for around 20% of global methane emissions,[2] 90 to 95% of that is released by exhaling orburping.[3] This means only 1–2% of global methane emissions come from livestock flatus.
