Scientists in Germany have reportedly discovered a new source of the global warming gas Methane: plants.
The study discovered that plants produced methane even in the presence of oxygen (which previously was not thought to happen). Also of interest is that it could impact the Kyoto Protocol which the United States has neither ratified or withdrawn from.
I wonder how the environmentalists are going to handle this one.
