What is nitrous oxide?

When people think of nitrous oxide, they might think of the laughing gas they get at the dentist’s office, but agribusinesses are producing this greenhouse gas in excess to the point that it’s a contributor to climate change.

A study on nitrous oxide published by Nature was released Wednesday, showing the detrimental impact of nitrous oxide on the warming of the planet.

Global News looks into why too much nitrous oxide is being produced and what we can do to help.

Anyone else here because of Kanye West. Apparently he's addicted to it

More plant based diet, but you claim that a large amount of the nitrous oxide is coming from plants. So we need to grow more?

I live in one of the largest and most profitable farming regions in the world (southern U.S.) and trust me when I tell you most of these people ONLY WANT MONEY. They do NOT care about what they are destroying nor how much land they have to clear to get their greed and selfishness accomplished. The first sign they care less about feeding people is how the biggest farms switch crops each season, all depending on what is higher in value. What was a food field back in the spring now has cotton planted in it around my property, only due to cotton bringing more value than food crops this one grow season.

Inb4 a green house gas now transform into deranged teenager drug

How about legalising and encourage the use of nitrous oxide for recreational use as a subside to alcohol and marijuana. They won't be polluting the environment if it is in our system

[doriron]

if we are going to eat more vegetable and fruit the demand will rise and so the use of nitro in the agroculture industry/ does it?

[robertcarbno]

I am all about being more green but this doesn't sound right. They say we need to eat more plant less meat but they said to much no2 is coming from plant farming. I think they should look for the huge amount of no2 that comes from other sources, high efficiency burning of fuels run at high temperature to limit the burning time. The higher the temperature in the burn the more no2 that is produced so because we want max heat yield and reduced co2 output we have increased the no2 output. I'm a power engineer and the is basic science the problem is less to do with farming and more to do with the trade off of we want less co2 and now we have created more no2. Low NOx is something boiler makers have work toward for years the people writing this news item need to question their science and do some more research before going for the sensationalism of this story. Global this is damaging your credibility as a news provider the fuel burning at high heat yields is the largest producer of NOx not that other sources don't add but high heat burning is the problem.

You don’t need that for agriculture, you only need mineral water

I got it! The Agriculture industry and the profit have the priority over the human race and its health!
Well done logic!

If you are concerned the tell someone who has 13-14 kids and leave the europeanised 1.7 child per couple families alone..

Nitrous oxide. The new thing for everyone to freak out about.

[tonyj]

good vid man idk why there is so many dislikes??? Weird

[konic]

Bruh when last have u even heard about the ozone layer but here these people say nox from excess fertilizer depletes it. X to doubt. These ppl are nuts. Id like to see this soil where the fertilizer thats hydrophillic does drain down in the soil but gets converted to NOx

[Jalex]

If the problem is fertilizer why not turn all farm land into cattle grazing land and only feed cows grass? Remove nitrogen from the equation?

I get it’s a big problem but the only solutions I ever hear are half baked ideas

[OhridEditorZ]

Ah great. Another thing to worry about especially in the situation we are. Laughing gas.

[jeremiahwest]

Can nitrous oxide cause you months of dissociation?

[denisethorbjornsen]

in the 7th year let thefields lay un planted, God will give enough in the 6 th year for 3 years.

[alextaf]

I would really love to know exactly which part of this purely scientific facts reporting would deserve a thumbs down?!
In what type of planet do we live in now that intelligence and logic is dismissed so carelessly?!
