Bovine Flatulence Bomb
It's more of a joke than anything, but in theory it could work!

Debunked: The Methane Monster
And people write long articles about cow farts, methane bombs, and flatulence too:
scientistswarning.org wrote:There is no question that there is a methane emergency underway. Global methane levels are soaring. Further, methane is a powerful greenhouse gas which represents a serious threat not to be underestimated. Methane and carbon dioxide levels are rising at their fastest rates since the time of the dinosaurs. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas.

Here's the basic scope of this article:
scientistswarning.org wrote:In this debunk, we will look at methane myths and begin to untangle fact from fiction in this highly debated area of study. In short, methane in permafrost and other shallow terrestrial areas, which represents less than 1% of the global methane budget, does not present us with the same challenges as the subsea methane stored in marine sediments deep in the ocean floor at depths greater than 500 meters and comprising the other 99% of the methane budget.

The worst case scenario which nutjobs worry about:
scientistswarning.org wrote:These theories claim that if these hydrate sources thaw abruptly all at once due to warming, unstoppable feedbacks would be set in motion, methane would be released in enormous quantities immediately raising temperatures, and what pseudoscience dubs near term human extinction would result. Some claim a 50 gigaton methane bomb could burst from the ocean floor all at once anytime now. They argue that this would not be survivable by humans and that we would perish in as little as a few short weeks time.

The conclusion seems to be that methane is a threat, BUT....

Could daffodils help solve climate change?
Can daffodil extracts reduce bovine flatulence? Would it work on humans?
