I have always linked Humans to Global Warming eversince I understood what it was, but never expected livestock and cattle also to be active contributors to global warming !

A few facts listed below will make things clearer to you:

* The world’s 1,530 million cattle contribute more to global warming than its 900 million cars and commercial vehicles.
* The gas from livestock flatulence and manure is now estimated to contribute to 27 per cent of global warming
* The high methane content is reported to be 23 times more “warming” than carbon dioxide.
* The urine has high concentrations of ammonia that contributes to acid rain.
* 900 litres of water is required to produce one litre of milk.
* India accounts for over 18 per cent of the worlds cattle, i.e approximately 5 per cent of the global warming is caused by the Indian livestock.
