Greenhouse effect

What is the byproduct of methane when used as a fuel source, and does it contribute more to the green house effect when used as fuel than just straight methan gas, or is it cleaner?

BURNING CARBOHYDRATES PRODUCES CARBON DIOXIDE AND WATER
when burned completely anyway.
carbon monoxide gets out too.  i imagine the efficiency relies more heavily on the ability of the engine to utilize it.

sorry, its a hydrocarbon not a carbohydrate lolz no oxygen in the molecule, the producing carbon dioxide/water part is right though.

also, its better for the environment when you burn it than if you were to just release it into the atmosphere, since carbon dioxide does relatively less in the way of greenhouse heating stuff than methane gas does.

we're fucked

Just stop using fuel fucking American retard

lol most fuels are burned in manufacturing and thus backward-ass-can't-finish-developing european countries are to blame!

Methane has 8 times the effect of carbon dioxide on global warming to be specific.

All of Europe, having many more citizens and far more non-retarded citizens than the USA, pollunes much less than your redneck country. You're so obsessed with your stupid Hammer cars and similar American car bullshit and get gas for half the price because your government invades other countries to get cheap oil. You drive your fucking monster car even to go buy a newspaper because you're so fat and terribly ugly for eating hamburgers and freedom fries all day at your shitty McDonalds and other crap food places. You jerk off at NASCAR (wow, incredible racing skills required!) watching it in a small TV in some stupid redneck gas station in route 66, and think "THIS is freedom, ha ha ha, get a brain morans".

In case any of that was really your opinion:
I am not sure of the statistics regarding mental illness rates between the USA and the entirety of Europe, so I will trust you on that.
They're "Hummers", and they are retardedly expensive and get horrible mileage, no sane person buys one.  A few trophy wives with 4 inch long nails and rich impotant guys buy them.  No one likes American cars, maybe trucks.  The top selling cars here have been Asian for a while.  There's a reason they're all panicking in Detroit.
No one drives to get a newspaper, we have them delivered to us, or we get them where we're going to for breakfast, or on the way to work.
No one calls them freedom fries, most Americans thought that was base and stupid.
Regarding NASCAR:
The Southern USA seceded almost 150 years ago.  Even though we in the North forced them back into reunification, many of us currently recognize the Mason-Dixon Line as our country's southern border.  While there are people who watch NASCAR in the North, it is a Southern tradition, and they are encouraged to watch it only for crashes, and plate memorabilia are strongly ridiculed.  While I don't watch NASCAR, I imagine it's a lot like watching a horse race.. for a few hours.
Lastly, our TVs are HUEG.

ignoring the trolls and getting back on topic.
 >>2 any combustion involving carbon will yield some CO, just because combustion is never totally perfect.  It, however, oxidizes quickly in the atmosphere.

You make me think USA is not that bad, at least the northern half looks more like Europe. Plus you replied seriously to my troll, and provided facts I didn't know about. You sir have earnt my respect. Yet I am Anonymous, so are you, so that's of little use.

My dad watches NASCAR, but he lives in California, weighs about 160 lbs, and designs microchips for a living.  I guess that makes him a black sheep, though.  I don't really see what the draw is.  I have, however, been in one as it went around the track, and I've got to say that it's scary as fuck.  Seriously, you have no idea.

As for >>9, you just described our country's hicks.  Except the part about the newspapers.  I really doubt any of those people have ever picked up a newspaper...

Oh silly troll, there are no retards in amerika.

A retard is defined as someone who differs from the majority. They are all equally stupid and retarded, so there is no need to label them retards.

when 20% of americans believe sun goes around earth. then that's quite a lot of retards.
