It is getting interesting now.

I will move on to methane, an issue that bugs me. I am not sure if any of the witnesses are familiar with organic chemistry. The documents indicate that 72% of our emissions are non-ETS and one third are agriculture. Is that just the production of food? Does that include fumes from tractor or does it relate only to livestock?
