There seems to be some approximations and guesswork in the overall analysis. Take Methane for example. climate.nasa.gov Note: Termites not mentioned. So to Termites. Note: the word "uncertain" springs up immediately. Termites emit methane. But the extent of their risk to global warming is uncertain; here is why <<"In 1982, researchers from the US, Germany and Kenya published a paper in Science saying termites are responsible for 150 Tg of methane emissions per year, or 40 per cent of total methane emissions at the time. This was an overestimation due to the methodology used, explains Chakraborty. The value of termite emissions has been revised in different studies over the years: in 1993, it was set at 26 Tg per year; in 1996 at 19.7 Tg; in 2013 at 11 Tg; and in 2018 at 20.03 Tg annually. Several influences There are multiple reasons for the uncertainty in estimation of termite emissions. First, emissions data on only 5 per cent of the 3,000 known termite species is available.">>
