How can global warming be reduced by converting cow manure into methane?

Cows emit carbon gases but they also eat grass, and while grass grows it absorbs carbon gases from the atmosphere. So the gases emitted by cows represent a short-term carbon cycle which is 'sustainable'.
This is far less harmful than the real danger, which is mining oil and gas and burning it, because that emits carbon into the atmosphere that was laid down millions of years ago - and too much of that is being emitted for nature to deal with in a short time.

What are the implications of the release of methane gas from Arctic sea?
This is one of the feedback loops of global warming. Global warming melts the ice and oceans. This releases methane (CH4) hydrates from the bottom of the ocean. The methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that in turn causes more global warming. So more methane melts, and so on.
From which gases global warming is made?
Primarily Carbon Dioxide and Methane.
What is the environmental consequences of an increase in the methane concentration in the atmosphere?
global warming
Some archaea contribute to pollution and global warming with their release of?
methane
Global warming is the result of increases in what?
Global warming is the result of increased levels of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, largely) in the atmosphere.
Which of these gases contribute to global warming?
Main gases contributing to global warming are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and water vapor
What is the negative impact of methane gas?
Methane gas is a significant green house gas that contributes to global warming.
What gasses cause global warming?
Methane, carbon dioxide, CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
How is methane deadly to the environment?
It is a green house gas, which cause global warming.
What type of gas does global warming provide?
Global warming doesn't produce any gas. It is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.
What gases cause global warming and how?
Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
How much damage does global warming cause?
methane gas and flooding are to main reasons
