Subject: »Climate Change and Global Warming
1 cow has on average the same Co2-emission as a car that drives 70.000 km a year ;-)
So global warming is not only caused by humans XD
pfffff
there is a fundamental difference between the source of CO2 emited by a cow and by a car.
Do You know what that difference is?

lol
CO2 is the same everywhere in the world in the univers in every time.
A molecule composed of two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom.

i'm talking about source of this CO2! read more carefully!
the difference is that cow consume pasture made from plants where carbon derive from atmospheric CO2 thanks to fotosynthesis
net emision is zero
car consume a fuel made from oil wich was made milions of years ago and locked deep in the rocks, and since then this carbon was unavailable to surface carbon cycles
net emision isn't zero - it gives surplus
surplus of this carbon acumulates in atmosphere and plants (and genarally biosphere) are unable to cope with all of it!

Apparently, you know a lot about the subject: but isn't the net emission of the cow itself more then zero? I mean, if the cow wasn't there, the CO2 wouldn't be in the air. ( It's a question, I don't know )
to be honest it's not totally zero but only because in cows production You need to use fuel to agricultural machinery, transport, usage of energy etc...
it is called a "carbon foot print"
and that's why vegetarianism is the best choice from "CO2 foot print" point of view

But not from my stomach point of view :p Thanks for the information.
even so slight change like converting beef to chikens in diet would decrease Your carbon foot print significantly
beef is the worse kind of meat if we consider CO2 total emisions cenected with its production

But beef is the best kind of meat to eat ;-) I'm never gonna be a vegetarian.
maybe if it would cost proportionaly to CO2 foot print You would change Your mind ;-)
btw this is connected with carbon tax idea. the more CO2 product generates the more it cost

Beef isn't cheap now, but we still eat it every week :-) What is better than a nice piece of marinated beef? Nothing I say you ;-)
