Vegans cause more ‘climate change’ than carnivores through flatulence, study suggests

Vegan people flatulate seven times more than their carnivorous counterparts, says a study, thus emitting more methane into the atmosphere and aggravating “climate change”.

Spanish researchers studied 20 healthy men who were fed two different diets. For two weeks, the men ate a fiber-enriched Mediterranean-style diet (FMD) which consisted mainly of vegetables, fruits, legumes and some animal protein. After a two-week “washout diet”, the participants spent another two weeks on a high-fat, low-fiber western-style diet (WD), which consisted mostly of meat and dairy products.

By measuring their stool and anal and intestinal gas, the researchers found the participants had softer stools and flatulated seven times more a day on the FMD diet than on the WD diet. In addition, each emission on the FMD diet contained 50% more gas than those on the WD diet.

But more flatulence and more gas means more methane emissions and more methane, a concern for climate alarmists who believe “every emission counts”.

According to some estimates, the human species emits a total of half a million cubic tons of methane per year through flatus — a paltry contribution to “climate change”. According to globalist AI chatbot ChatGPT, human flatuses are responsible for approximately 1.44 billion cubic meters of methane a year.

But the Microsoft-funded AI program hastened to add that human flatulence should not be considered a real factor in global warming because there are more pressing areas of concern.

“[W]hile this may seem like a substantial amount, it is relatively small compared to total global methane emissions, which primarily come from sources like agriculture, energy production, and waste management,” ChatGPT said

“It is essential to focus on addressing the major sources of methane emissions to effectively mitigate climate change rather than attributing a significant role to human flatulence.”

The World Economic Forum-backed chatbot has also said that all carbon emissions are likely soaked up by the more than three trillion trees on Earth, with the average mature tree able to absorb between 48 and 200 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

Around 40 billion tons of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere each year, meaning that even according to the lowest estimates, trees can absorb over 20 billion more tons of carbon than are actually emitted.

As ChatGPT calculated: 0.022 metric tons per tree per year x 3.04 trillion trees = 66.88 billion metric tons of CO2 absorbed per year by trees.

But the program was reluctant to make the admission:

This is more than the annual amount of carbon dioxide emitted by human activities, which is around 40 billion metric tons per year. However, it's important to note that this is a theoretical estimate and assumes that all trees are healthy and actively absorbing carbon dioxide.
