Quote:What do cows,and pigs produce?
Both produce massive amounts of methane.
Do I care? Of course,but not enough to stop eating meat. Would I still eat meat if I had to kill the animal myself? Of course, I'm a human being,and we are omnivores and predators.
Quote:Agriculture is responsible for an estimated 14 percent of the world's greenhouse gases. A significant portion of these emissions come from methane, which, in terms of its contribution to global warming, is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. The U.S. Food and Agriculture Organization says that agricultural methane output could increase by 60 percent by 2030 [Source: Times Online]. The world's 1.5 billion cows and billions of other grazing animals emit dozens of polluting gases, including lots of methane. Two-thirds of all ammonia comes from cows

A pig produces over 600 pounds of methane a day,
