“Usually I let problems or other thoughts go around and around in my head, but there’s something therapeutic about writing them out. Committing them to paper seems to capture the thoughts so you don’t have to chase after them anymore, leaving you with energy to reflect upon them more deeply – allowing you to be honest with yourself. “

Livestock and Global Warming February 10, 2007
Posted by to_yahoo_and_google in iRead.add a comment
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.
