Man is really the animal that causes global warming by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere).
The cow is another animal that has been accused of contributing to global warming. Cows, in fact any ruminant, which is an animal that chews the cud, belch out a lot of methane, which is a greenhouse gas 23 times more potent than Carbon Dioxide.
But man is the real culprit.

∙ 12y agoSome domestic animals do. Cows and sheep are ruminants that have gut bacteria that help digest tough grasses. These bacteria form methane gas which the animals belch into the atmosphere. Since methane is twenty times more potent as a greenhouse gas than is carbon dioxide, this is a significant contributor to global warming.

How do animals add to global warming?
The farting and belching of animals, mostly humans and the domesticated animals used to feed and clothe them, contribute millions of tonnes of Methane to the atmosphere. Methane adds to global warming, a great pity because methane is a valuable source of free power. Capturing it out of the atmospere is the problem.
