Termites Don't Care

Add termites to the increasing list of Gaia's creatures that don't care about global warming scientists:

Fifteen years ago it was estimated that the digestive tracts of termites produce about 50 billion tons of CO2 and methane annually.

If you think that's bad, imagine what a volcano spits out in an average eruption. The only thing worse would be a volcano that spewed termites.

UPDATE: Via Tim Blair, Professor Robert Giegengack may have found a new source of greenhouse gas:

He has described Al Gore’s documentary as “a political statement timed to present him as a presidential candidate in 2008.” And he added, “The glossy production is replete with inaccuracies and misrepresentations, and appeals to public fear as shamelessly as any other political statement that hopes to unite the public behind a particular ideology.”

The only thing worse would be a termite-infested volcano spewing Al Gore.
