Do domestic animals contribute to global warming?

Answer 1

Man is really the animal that causes global warming by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere).

The cow is another animal that has been accused of contributing to global warming. Cows, in fact any ruminant, which is an animal that chews the cud, belch out a lot of methane, which is a greenhouse gas 23 times more potent than Carbon Dioxide.

But man is the real culprit.

Answer 2

Some domestic animals do. Cows and sheep are ruminants that have gut bacteria that help digest tough grasses. These bacteria form methane gas which the animals belch into the atmosphere. Since methane is twenty times more potent as a greenhouse gas than is carbon dioxide, this is a significant contributor to global warming.

Answer 3

Yes, domestic animals such as cows and sheep contribute to global warming through their production of methane when they digest food. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Efforts to reduce methane emissions from animal agriculture are important in mitigating its impact on global warming.

Answer 4

cows are known to create methane when they burp adding to the amount of it
