Discussion
the idea is by releasing greenhouse gases, specifically methane in the case of cow farts*, more of the sun's energy will stay in the atmosphere instead of being radiated back into space
they claim that at a certain point there will be a positive feedback loop where the earth just gets hotter forever
this was the basis of many late 20th century doomsday predictions that failed to come true
from this you can conclude that the scientists don't know what the fuck they're talking about
*note, methane is naturally released into the atmosphere by the earth itself all the time by way of natural gas seeps and volcanic activity. the methane breaks down naturally and doesn't just stick around forever
