Only grass decomposed in an anaerobic environment would produce methane. Grass decomposed aerobically would produce CO2 instead.

- gambiting 6y agoBut methane decomposes into CO2 on a relatively short timescale(12 years?) so surely....it's a wash?
- ufo 6y agoThose couple of years where the carbon is in the form of methane instead of CO2 have a big impact because methane is a much stronger greenhouse gas.
- s1artibartfast 6y agoNot a wash. Methane has 85x the impact per unit as co2 which has a half life of 27 years.
