Both produce methane. However, studies have shown that rice production produces much more methane gas than the raising of cattle in either a pasture or industrial setting.

Also, the waste resulted from raising cattle in a drylot or feedlot setting can make the air quite smelly. No doubt rice farming does the same job to the air, causing what would be considered "air pollution."

How do cows contribute to global warming?

Cows contribute to global warming mainly through their production of methane gas during digestion. This methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to increased global temperatures. Additionally, the clearing of land for cattle farming also releases carbon dioxide, another greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.


What is the main pollution?

Short answer: Air Pollution from chemical plants, cattle raising, cars, and other industries. Explanation: There are many sources of pollution in the world. These include, but are not limited to, light, noise, air, land/soil, water, and visual pollution. The main source of world pollution recognized to be most harmful to people and organisms is Air Pollution, mainly because its effects are so widespread. Only a small amount of pollutant needs to be present in the air for it to cause health problems such as cancer, asthma, and neurological disorders. Because of the uncontained nature of air, large populations can be exposed to and affected by this type of pollution, causing more and more health problems over time.


Does burping or farting pollute your air?

Burping and farting release small amounts of gases like carbon dioxide and methane, which are natural byproducts of digestion. While these gases do contribute to air pollution in large quantities, the small amounts released through burping and farting are not significant enough to pose a pollution concern.


How do some Latin American governments justify the destruction of the rain forests?

Some Latin American governments justify the destruction of rainforests by prioritizing economic development and claiming that exploiting natural resources is necessary for growth. They may also argue that the revenue generated from activities like logging and agriculture is needed to support their countries' populations and infrastructure. Additionally, some governments may view the rainforests as underutilized land that can be better utilized for farming or other commercial activities.

Are cattle farming and dairy farming same?

Not really. Cattle farming is more of a general term encompassing both beef and dairy. Dairy farming is telling us something more specific, such as the fact that cows are being raised for the purpose of getting milk from them to be sold to retailers that distribute them to human families. Though dairy farming does involve raising and breeding cattle and can be termed "cattle farming," the proper term for raising dairy animals for the purpose of milk production is "dairy farming."
