Carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) is given off by all animals when they exhale. Methane (another potent greenhouse gas) is emitted by ruminant animals as they digest cellulose with the aid of their intestinal bacteria. Humans are not ruminants and emit almost no intestinal methane. Burps are generally swallowed air which contains little or no greenhouse gas of any variety. The exception to this is when burping results from drinking a lot of Carbonated Beverages quickly. This gas would contain carbon dioxide.

Do vehicle emissions affect the greenhouse effect?

Our cars add to the greenhouse effect because our cars let off dangerous gases including carbon dioxide, smog, carbon particulates and nitric acidsA:Assuming that anthropogenic greenhouse gas sources are major players in the greenhouse effect, cars would contribute to the greenhouse effect by their emissions of carbon dioxide. Cars can also contribute to greenhouse gases by releasing unburned gasoline components which can, through a series of reactions that require sunlight to get them to work, create ozone in the lower atmosphere. Ozone is also known to be a greenhouse gas.
