  • Burning fossil fuels for transport and to generate electricity releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
  • Cattle grown for meat by their belching release methane, a greenhouse gas twenty times more dangerous than carbon dioxide.
  • As the earth gradually warms, tundra and frozen peat releases methane that had been stored for thousands of years.
  • Nature is still the primary source though for these gases. Less than 0.3% of all greenhouse gas is actually made by man, the rest is natural in origin.
