Yes.

According to FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS study "LIVESTOCK'S LONG SHADOW" (2006), Using a methodology that considers the entire commodity chain, it estimates that livestock are responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, a bigger share than that of transport (cars, boats, planes, trains).

They don't cause it, but they make a small contribution to it. Methane is a greenhouse gas, 21 times more potent then carbon dioxide (CO2). Cattle belch methane all day, much more than human emissions.

Everything continues to global warming. You breathing, contributes to global warming. Me typing this response contributes to global warming. Toilets contribute to global warming because they are a manufactured product. Anything Manufactured requires energy and materials , all of which contribute in some way, even if minor to global warming.

No.

The impact from flatulence is related to methane emissions. The amount per critter varies by its diet and its digestion processes. Ruminants and termites consume cellulose and are significant produces. Other species like pigs and humans are low producers.The amount of methane in animal flatulence varies by species;

  • Humans produce half a liter a day (0.35 g/d) (2.5 kT/yr )
  • Sheep produce 7 kg/yr
  • One cow produce 114 kg/yr (250 to 400 L/d) (Total 80 million T/yr)
  • Swine produce 1.5 kg/yr
  • Caribou produce 29 kg/yr (55 g/yr)
  • Total wildlife methane 15Tg/yr
  • Termites 222Tg/yr (222 million T/yr)

From this the entire human population produces only about 2.5 kT/yr and are not a significant source of methane compared to termites or cattle which cause 30% of the methane emissions/

Yes, but only in a very small way. Farts are methane, which is a greenhouse gas, and methane and carbon dioxide are the main greenhouse gases causing global warming, the reason for climate change. Methane is produced when organic matter, like food, decomposes anaerobically, that is, without air, as happens in the human bowel.

Yes, farts and belching, especially from cattle, but also from humans, release methane which is a powerful greenhouse gas contributing to global warming.

if you burn gases such as methane then yes

(the gas probably will not cause much, if any, harm if not burnt excluding methane)
