       | You should be scared.
       | 
       | Reality, the atmospheric residence time of methane is
       | approximately 9 years
       | 
       | If however a carbon sink might leak in fifty or even one hundred
       | years, it can't work, don't bother trying
       | 
       | You should be scared.
       | 
       | If methane scares you, do something useful and work on lab grown
       | meat, so the rest of us can get our farms back to nature, not
       | have to worry about killing living creatures, get cheap burgers,
       | not have to listen to vegans, increase jungle carbon sinks and
       | you'll get less methane.
