That is interesting. I direct you, then, to the Clean Energy (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2011, on page 54: proposed section 278, amending section 7 of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007. Since methane is methane, as you stated, do you therefore disagree with the PhD thesis of a number of people from Sydney university who say the multiplier of methane from organic sources is completely different, as far as greenhouse gas emissions go, to that of mineral sources?
