One of the most destructive yet undermentioned GHGs is nitrous oxide (N2O). This gas is 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide at warming the planet and can be found in manure and fertilizers used to grow feed crops for animals. N2O can linger in the atmosphere for over a century , and animal agriculture accounts for around 65 percent of global anthropogenic (human-induced) N2O  emissions.
 

and emissions from traditional sources in the UK have been going down
