Why is methane important to the earth?

Answer 1

Methane is a very important discovery, because all animals produce it, and it is very deadly. No joke.

If you are in a barn that is not ventilated, with 1 cow, then you will die within 48 hours if you do not get any fresh air. Methane is as deadly as cyanide.

People are often found dead in their homes after eating foods that cause them to over-produce methane, if their house has poor ventilation. It is an occurance that happens as often as family food poisoning.

You can also trap methane in a bottle, and inhale it to get high. Many children in 3rd world countries do this because they have nothing else to do, and most of them end up dead.

Methane is also used as one of the world's main ingredients of aluminum and tin. These metals could not be made at all without a supply of methane, which is produced by cows and horses in most metal industries.

If you are afraid of dying of methane poisoning, then they have corks you can use to keep yourself plugged up from exuding methane. This was very popular during medieval times when they did not know what methane was, but found out people were dying from the gases exuded from the human body when there was poor ventilation.
