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.


Which gas contributes to global warming and is released from cows and rices fields?

Methane is the gas that is released from cows and rice fields. It is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.


What gases do cows let out when they fart?

Methane gas is what is release in flatulence, even that of humans!


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


Do sheep burps contribute to global warming?

Yes, sheep burps, specifically their methane emissions, contribute to global warming. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the warming of the planet. Livestock, including sheep, are a significant source of methane emissions globally.


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 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.


Do cows contribute to global warming?

Yes, cows contribute to global warming through the release of methane gas during digestion. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to climate change.


How much do cows contribute to global warming?

Cows contribute to global warming mainly through their production of methane gas during digestion. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere. Cows are estimated to contribute about 14.5 of global greenhouse gas emissions, primarily through methane production.


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.
