Farming does contribute to global warming, although not to the extent that burning fossil fuels does. Some of the causes:

  • Land clearance results in loss of timber that is a store of carbon, releasing carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.
  • Cows and sheep exhale methane, a very potent greenhouse gas, when they burp.

On the other hand, farmers can have a positive effect when they plant trees to sequester carbon.
