Does farting pollute the air? in any way?

You mostly got "joke" answers.

However, cattle flatulence MAY be a big problem as the released gasses include methane (a "greenhouse" gas), and many cattle feeds increase the amount of methane. There has been research by the agricultural department at LSU to identify cattle feeds that don't produce so much cattle flatulence.

Think how many millions (even billions) of cows there are on Earth.

Yes! People, cows, all kinds of animals. All that methane gas adds up!

yes it does, methane gas is a big polluter,
cows are big polluters, and the world wants more and more beef

You bet. Methane gas is a major contributor to green house gasses. Your one little pfft seems small but the billions of us here on planet earth crank out an amazing amount of gasses out of asses that cause global warming. (sorry, couldn't help myself) they have done studys on cattle that point in this direction. I think that they have just been to grossed out to take it to the next level and test humans in the same way. Global warming.... just a bean burrito away. Ha!

anybody besides me who farts r so small that they would only make a tiny change in the atmosphere. my farts, however, r so huge & long that it does make a huge difference. as soon as i die, global warming will end. like, seriously, i have about five minutes of gas power per day, assuming it is very strongly released. my gas build up is so bad, that between periods at school, i always have to go to the bathroom and unleash like a twenty second fart or just let huge SBD's go throughout the day. my secret is still safe, though. if i decided to fart on an ant colony, all the ants would shrivel up & die & all that would be left is a mini crater.

well
it is methane gas so yeah
but
its a microscopid differance
so dont worry about it

themind97

yes it does because it contains methane
but there isnot enough to acctualy do something
trees, garbage and rice also give it off, carbon dioxide is the worry

it releases methane but it comes to nothing
