A silent person responsible for global warming

I want to talk about the effects of cows on the environment and how this can be one of the factors that has contributed to global warming and affect the environment in an impressive way. .

First I want to talk about methane, which is a gas that produces more heat and light energy that is beneficial to the planet to a certain degree, since it helps us keep the planet warm and it does not cool down.

Methane helps the climate to be balanced and provides a suitable environment for life on the planet for the different individuals that inhabit it.

But what happens when this gas is produced in large quantities? What are its consequences on the planet? Read on to find out.
Methane, due to its quality of producing heat when in the environment, contributes to global warming and the greenhouse effect, causing a much hotter climate, causing one of the greatest consequences that we can know and that is endangering the life of beings. human and many animals, which, there are many species that have become extinct due to climate change and the excessive heat that is currently being made.

The animals could not adapt to these climates that we are experiencing and due to the consequences that this produces, they have not known how to survive and species have become extinct.

And then… What does cows have to do with methane?
Cows produce methane in the form of flatulence, everything they eat is digested by their stomachs and expels methane.

As we have said before, methane in small quantities is good, but as the livestock industry has grown because the carnivorous human population has grown over the years, this industry had to expand and double its meat production to meet market demand.

This has generated more cows on the planet and with it the increase in methane in the air. It is said that a cow is capable of producing 300 liters of methane per day and between 70 and 120 kilos of methane per year. This figure is alarming. since, it has been determined that 18% of greenhouse gases are produced by the livestock sector.

And it is not only cows that are responsible for global warming, but the livestock sector in general.

It is incredible to know that cows can cause the planet's greenhouse effect, and it is more polluting than the transportation industry, that is, the methane produced by livestock pollutes more than vehicles.

When analyzing global warming and its different causes, we can realize that not only vehicles are responsible and that is why each one of us is encouraged to do his bit.

Reducing meat consumption can go a long way in improving our environment.
