Methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and animals are a source of methane. So animals do contribute to global warming. Of course, animals have always been producing methane and it's difficult to stop that. Human activity, on the other hand, is something we can control, and is potentially more harmful anyway. Donald Johnson wrote an article about this called 'Estimates of animal methane emissions' if you want to do any further reading.

∙ 10y agoYes, animals contribute to global warming. Cattle belch out methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. A large dog kept as a pet will eat a lot of meat. Meat eaters contribute more to global warming than vegetarians.

∙ 15y agoNo. Some may be in decline because of climate change, like the polar bear, but even now the evidence to support global warming is being refuted. Ice caps are coming back with massive gains, back to pre 1979 levels. There is in fact some evidence that the planet is cooling, not warming. But let us not lose sight of the fact that we still should do all possible to combat pollution, and give all endangered animals the habitat and protection they deserve.

Does Global Warming cause the depletion of the Ozone Layer?
There is very little connection between global warming and the ozone layer.
Is global warming killing animals and if so what is it killing?
global warming is killing the animals such as polar bears, hibernating animals and much more
Is global warming the main cause of the thinning of the ozone layer?
Global warming is a cause of the ozone depletion. However it is not the main cause of it.
Does global warming cause avalanches?
Global warming is unlikely to cause avalanches directly. They are usually caused by runoff from heavy rain and intense storms. Global warming is expected to cause more intense storms and could therefore be an indirect cause of avalanches.
What is the cause of extinction of animals?
Of global warming Mostly by lost of habitat.

Is ozone depletion the cause why there is global warming?
Yes, it is. It is responsible for global warming.
Can wildfires start global warming?
No, but global warming can be a probable cause of wildfires.
Are humans the only victim to global warming?
No, animals will have their habitats destroyed and plant and tree species will disappear. Actually, everything living on the planet are victims of global warming, but humans are the cause of it.
What is the cause of the warming of the atmosphere?
Global Warming. Due to global warming, ice in the polar region is melting
