The REAL Napster

There are a couple more clips on here from earlier that state the same thing. Trees, plants, animals, humans, etc.. all living things are contributing to the so-called problem. That article doesn't mention the huge methane deposits in the ocean floors either.

Germany has spawned a major scientific debate by claiming that trees
put millions of tons of methane into the atmosphere every year
exacerbating the greenhouse effect. Amid controversy, Dr Frank Keppler
of the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry has reaffirmed findings by
his team in Mainz, Germany, in January 2006 that they had detected<BR /><DIV>
methane exhaled from living plants. </DIV>
"I am 100 per cent confident that plants emit methane," he told
Chemistry World magazine, insisting that as yet unpublished research<BR /><DIV>
would confirm his findings once and for all.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nowpublic.com/trees_worsen_greenhouse_effect"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.nowpublic.com/img/DF093751-1D8B-4602-9101-E676A158B439" alt="ew" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nowpublic.com/trees_worsen_greenhouse_effect"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.nowpublic.com/img/5C4C4320-9C9C-43EE-94A5-AD4C7D10794E" alt="Hamburg- A leading expert in Germany has spawned a major scientific debate by claiming that trees put millions of tons of methane into the atmosphere every year exacerbating the greenhouse effect.

Keppler's unexpected discovery has caused heated debate among
biologists and atmospheric chemists. Though bacteria in soil or
decaying matter produce methane in anaerobic conditions, there seems to
be no reason or mechanism for living plants to emit the gas in an<BR /><DIV>
oxygen-rich environment. </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/220B8400-4596-4A7F-8E4C-0D1F9993B7A0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
