In the report of the United Nations (FAO), entitled Livestock's Long Shadow: Environmental Issues and Options (Released November 2006), the UN noted that the livestock industry is the producer of greenhouse gas emissions are the largest (18%), this amount more than the combined greenhouse gas glass all transport around the world (13%). Greenhouse gas emissions include livestock industry 9% carbon dioxide, 37% methane gas (warming effect 72 times stronger than CO2), 65% nitrous oxide (warming effect 296 times stronger than CO2), and 64% ammonia causes acid rain. Livestock seized 30% of the entire surface of dry land on Earth and 33% of the arable land area used for growing fodder fields. Livestock also cause 80% of the Amazon forest denudation.
Meanwhile, a report recently released World Watch Institute states that livestock are responsible for at least 51 percent of global warming.
The author, Dr. Robert Goodland, former principal adviser to the environmental field for the World Bank and World Bank research staff Jeff Anhang, making based on "The Long Shadow Ranch", a report published in 2006 by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). They calculate that the previous field and update everything else, including life-cycle emissions of farmed fish production, the CO2 from breathing animal, and correction of actual calculation that produces more than twice the reported number of animals on the planet.
Methane emissions from farm animals also served for 72 times more in absorbing heat in the atmosphere than CO2. This represents an increase that is more accurate than the original calculation of the FAO with the warming potential of 23 times. Nevertheless, the investigators were told that their estimates are minimal, and therefore the total emissions of 51 percent is still conservative. (From various sources).Hopefully Helpful for all..
