Nah, Dr Evil has me run the numbers and it turns out that killing six billion people, you have all their body mass rotting and putting carbon back into the atmosphere, add on top transport costs and so on - it just was not worth it.

Seems much simpler to fix global politics and improve technology.

Have you considered that once they're dead, they stop farting? Methane counts too!

Eventually but not immediately: https://www.quora.com/Can-a-dead-body-fart

"Definitely yes. Having worked as an undertaker’s assistant in my youth I have witnessed this at least twice. The odour is unmistakable and the gas (should there be any in the bowel) easily comes out when moving the deceased from the hospital cold slab to the coffin. I have not heard any sound but the foul smell is there - so yes."
