- Methane (CH4) accounts for about 20% of the greenhouse effect and is 34 times stronger than carbon dioxide (CO2). However, it disappears from the atmosphere much faster. Therefore, methane offers great opportunities to counteract global warming and climate change.
Of all the methane produced in the Netherlands, 70% originates from livestock farming. Wageningen Livestock Research investigates ways of limiting methane emissions. Want to learn more? Visit www.wur.eu/methane.

Hello, We deal with livestock in Africa. How can we partner to reduce methane emissions? Please respond back to me. Thanks.
That animation was rlly smooth and cute :)
The bacteria in cow poop breaks down methane.
So is there a difference in the co2 we breathe out and the co2 that cars make. Mean that trees only take in the co2 we breathe out and not the co2 that cars make?
good question
No there isn’t but (1) trees can’t process endless amounts of co2. And (2) the number of trees is reduced massively every year. You’re right if we had endless trees we could process lots of co2 but the opposite is happening. One car produces 18,000 kg or 20 tons of co2 a year. Multiply that by billions. And the production of a car and extraction of crude oil also produces co2. So the imprint is much more than trees could ever process
Ideally we should be manufacturing a processor that mimics trees but we haven’t mastered that yet. Solar panels are as close as we’ve gotten and we haven’t mimicked chlorophyll
great video
What about the billions of ruminant animals that roamed the globe prior to the Industrial Age?
It was all in balance
@@peterlohnes1 There were 60 million buffalo in the US prior to the 1800s. There are 87 million cattle in the US. It’s still in balance, regionally speaking.

Oh my life
Nice
Why don't you talk about water vapor?
Because it only stays in the atmosphere for a few days and it mainly comes from natural sources that we can't do anything about
@@yami_plushie have you ever seen those things we call clouds?
Biogenic Carbon Cycle with ruminant animals-
Some carbon went into the roots(not eaten), pasture grazing only removes 85% of the grass from a paddock if it is highly efficient (not eaten and trampled into the ground), some into exudates on the roots for microorganisms (not eaten) some into meat, bone, manure (Most of which feeds microorganisms and stored as organic matter) wool in sheep, milk etc…… how dose the methane burped out equal the same amount of co2 absorbed by the grass??? You cant make mass! How can the carbon be in all these places and still be back in the atmosphere?? Sequestration. If you don’t plough it up it’s stored for ever, problem solved 👍
1. C02 and CH4 aren't the same thing and aren't consumed the same either. Nor do they breakdown the same, or have the same life cyle.....
2. You can't make new mass but you can transform it into different forms that have different properties...... For example, Ice is nothing but solid form water but Ice has many different properties than water. It even has a different volume in a given container than water.... That's just a state change, we haven't even talked about other types of physical changes or chemicals changes and types of chemical changes at all....
3. I want you to run this experiment. Fill your car up with gas, then drive into your garage and close the door but keep the car running. How long does it take for you to suffocate? Not very long at all does it?...
You see, the volume of the gas in your tank is much smaller than the volume of the room you're in, but it doesn't take much of the transfer from liquid gas to exhaust to kill you outright......But didn't 99% of the liquid gas stay in the tank??? That's the whole point....
The planet is nothing but a giant room essentially. It doesn't take 100% transfer of all C02, CH4, and N20 to make an impact enough to cause harm or kill us in the long run......
Besides, anyone who actually lives on a farm KNOWS that cows are hell on the land and certainly produce a lot of gas. I know, because I grew up on a farm.
But the problem isn't cows in general or that people have cows, the problem is the mass production of cows by large facilities. Cows are huge. They are heavy on resources for what they provide, just like corn is.
I love beef and steak. Don't get me wrong. But I can clearly see the harm that mass production of cows does to the environment.
4 Lastly, you talk about the Carbon cycle but don't mention how us people are disrupting that. We cut down trees and clear land every single day. And only do more and more as time goes on. How tf is there supposed to be a balance in the Carbon cycle, when we continually destroy the things that reduces it and constantly make more of it???? Wouldn't that lead to an imbalance adding this real factor to your little scenario, which you still got wrong because you don't even know what you're talking about?
Your whole point doesn't make any sense. And it's sad to see you have likes, because it showed that there a many others who are just as shortsighted or stupid as you are.
These concepts aren't hard to understand and they are very real. You can be totally against doing anything about greenhouse gas emissions, that's totally fine. But trying to deny their impact on climate, weather, and the environment is just ludicrous and stupid.
@@TheMissingLink2Thank you for that. People have been brainwashed by vegetarians, & the "meat is murder" fanatics. They're the ones who came up with the "cow fart" theory.😵
That’s only a tiny aspect of the problem. One car produces 18,000 kg or 20 tons of co2 a year. Multiply that by billions. And the production of a car and extraction of crude oil also produces co2.
@@TheMissingLink2 I think we’re certainly playing a part in changing the environment, and in some cases, damaging it but, there are a few things I think you’re failing to take into account. Certainly, there are a 87 million cattle in the us, 30 million of which are beef cattle but, before the 1800’s, there were also 60 million buffalo across America’s plains that had been there for millenia due to insufficiently evolved predators in the grasslands. Native Americans were there as well but, until the arrival of Spanish horses in North America, human hunting of buffalo also had limits. A lot of climate science is a bit too propagandistic. The evidence of that can be clearly seen in that much of it only examines the negative effects of global warming while, rarely, examining the positive effects. Even more of it is hyped out of proportion, and the prediction aspect is even worse. Next, I would challenge you not to think of the earth’s atmosphere simply as a room because, rooms do not expand or contract at intervals. Some of our atmosphere also gets lost to space. Climate change, or rather the rate of climate change, is something we should be concerned with, mostly in the forms of CO1, CO2, and SO2 but, such aspects need to be better understood before enacting policy, laws, and regulations.
@@jonathansanders7756 To your point, there may have been 60 million bison at one point, but there weren't 300 million+ people and their 1billion+ cars rolling around at the same time. And the wilderness was unlike anything we have today. The amount of forest and grassland and undisturbed habitat back then, blows today out of the water. Lastly to that point, there was some natural equilibrium to the bison. They didn't all live in one area and they didn't stay in the same spot forever, like with cows. Gases were dispersed. You don't get that in these mass production industrial facilities. And that's the point. There's no chance for these gases to disperse and be absorbed by the environment's foliage, because there is none.
That said, I can accept the fact that some climate science is propaganda like in nature. And that not everything is understood. And there are natural things that impact climate too.
And also yeah, some atmosphere is lost to space, but it's such a minuscule amount that it doesn't make a difference tbh.
My whole point is to simply put down the notion that we aren't impacting the environment and climate with human actions. You might understand this point, and it's ok to scrutinize and criticize. But OP is just crazy.
what happens when the cattle are set free, meat industries close and we are forced to become vegetarians - do the cows stop being ruminants? Do they stop eating grass and stop farting and pooping?
Cows aren’t native to America. They were breeded here. Reducing the population would help a lot tho.
@@saylurrodriguez3315 then what would we eat?

Methane Check
Sounds like WHO propaganda
Banger as always, love the effort and keep the good work up. Congrats on the great death of the english queen. Lots of love from🤩 Russia
Ewww that would be disgusting
Methane, Butane, Propane = blow torch fuel-"air"-(ambient-air) mixture.
Space station have carbon-dioxide scrubber, dry-ice factory have carbon-dioxide equipment. Some people scrub oxygen. Oxy-accetalene blow-torch and engines and lighters and funny-jokes from cow-fart. Humans in winter places with electric heaters should not fart too much.
Especially too fat...
While politicians argue and try to blackmail people because they-themselves think others are more stupid then them (the fact of bottom feeders and low-life lifestyle choices with track record and results of forever cannot be happy, money no-object), people have Toyota make hydrogen engine to "free-up"(politicians eat their own words) fuel air bomb, royal royale pain in the ass, depend on robbing others to feed their largess, like french with marcedonia combined sulk tun datuk ship...

How is it going to make the pig look
Adds a unrelavant information.
No the pig will just run away
Then I guess the pig is just not that helpful so I guess it's just a nice farming idea
Google smell
Then the pig is useless
