Cows, and cattle rearing, have a carbon footprint, but it's caused mostly from the amount of methane they belch. They don't do much to increase carbon dioxide levels.

Why do you have to kill cows to reduce carbon dioxide?
You don't. Cows produce minimal amounts of carbon dioxide. Killing them would be a massive economic and social waste, and would serve little decent purpose.
What gasses do cows release?
Cows are ruminants and have an active microbial population in their guts which releases methane. They also release some nitrogen from swallowed air, water vapour, and carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide build up in your atmosphere for two reasons what is the best example of the prob?
because of cows and cars
Why do plants cows and humans make carbon dioxide?
Plants don't make carbon dioxide, they produce oxygen. Humans and cattle, like all animals, produce carbon dioxide because we need oxygen in our bodies to function properly and live, and in order to do so oxygen gets converted into carbon dioxide which must be excreted or exhaled out of our systems so that more oxygen can be drawn back in.
What important greenhouse gases does exhaled air contain?
Humans and all other animals exhale carbon dioxide, as part of the natural cycle, in which plants absorb the carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. As long as we have enough plants in the form of trees, algae and other vegetaion, this cycle is sustainable with no increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases. Cows and sheep also exhale methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas that is not absorbed by plants. This has been blamed as a significant contributor to global warming.
Do cows breath out oxygen?
Yes, but in the form of carbon dioxide, with contains two atoms of oxygen and one of carbon. Cows don't breathe out the pure form of oxygen; they breathe in oxygen as well as nitrogen from the atmosphere.

How do cows help photosynthesis in plants?
Just like you the expel a lot of carbon dioxide due to respiration.

What happens to the carbon when plants are eaten by animals?
Cows release more carbon dioxide when they burp or release flatulence than a car does for a whole month....or something like that.

What two gases do living things make?
Cows can produce both methane and carbon dioxide through their natural, bodily systems.
Is cow realese oxygen during breathin?
No, PLANTS release oxygen when they breathe. Cows, like humans, release CARBON DIOXIDE when they exhale.
What is the gas cows give off?
Flatulence (fart) is composed mostly of nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen, plus some carbon dioxide and a small amount of Methane.
Where do most of the emission that pollute the air come from?
A lot of carbon dioxide emissions are from cars and factories. However, an often overlooked source of greenhouse gas (methane) is cows. Cows actually add more to the greenhouse effect than cars do.
What are the major types of air pollution?
Carbon mixes with oxygen to form Carbon dioxide, which is an example of a greenhouse gas. Another major air polluter would be, methane gas, which sometimes comes from cows passing gas believe it or not.
