 * * How big a contributer to the Greenhouse Gases is Methane from farms and livestock compared to other gases and sources?

15% of greenhouse gasses are caused by Methane. || * Since you can use ice cores to determine how much Co2 or methans fell in which year - has the methane from animals like cow and sheep always been so great or has it only become a problem since we humans started over-farming them? Are the animals really to blame?

Methane can't actually be measured in an ice core, only Co2 can. || * Create a chart to show how much Methane, Co2 and N2O has increased. ||
 * * Which country creates the most Green house gases relative to how much livestock they have?

There || * Why do people care so much about the emissions animals put out when really it is only a fraction of the total GreenHouse Gases - the rest of which were made by __us__ -and the only reason animals emissions is a problem is because __humans__ over- farmed them because of a rise in consumer demand? || * What is a solution to reduce or srop the emmissions of cows? || Page made by Sian and Lizzy
 * * How much methane (and other gases) does the average farm animal produce? (List cow, sheep, etc) || * Why is it only the animals that we farm in large numbers that produce harmful gases? Is there a reason for this? || * Compose a song on how you feel about the increasing effect of Global Warming on our planet. ||
 * * What is it in the grass that causes the cows and sheep to produce so much methane? || *Irrogation from farms runs into streams and into the sea - what is the sealife like around these places compared to where the sea is relatively unpolluted? || X ||
 * * Are there any gases besides methane that livestock produce? || *Since they say that for every kilogram of red meat you eat it is equal to how every many cubic centimetres of methane - how much co2 from farming equipment is caused from each kilogram of meat? || X ||
 * * Which country has the most livestock? || *What about per cow/sheep?(from previous question ^ ) || X ||
 * * Which country produces the least Greenhouse gases - how much livestock do they farm? || * What is an alternative food source that we could eat to compensate on cutting back on red meat to reduce over-farming and methane gases with out taking away the iron and other minerals your body needs? || X ||
 * * We know that co2 levels rise and fall according to the angle the planet is on (seasons) - is this the asme with livestock emmissions? || * Could using more efficient farming equipment reduce the emmissons from them and there for how much pollution is caused per cow we eat? (or other animal) || X ||
 * * Are there any other animals that contribute (no matter how little) to global warming to prove that sheep and cows (etc) are only bad because of their numbers? || * If cows and sheep (etc) did not create any emmissions - would it make any difference? || X ||
 * * How much Greenhouse gases are produced by farming equipment? || * If everyone cut down on how much meat they ate - would it do anything to the overall emmissions cows (etc) make or the total Greenhouse gases? || X ||
 * * Who owns the livestock in our area? || X || X ||
 * * Which animal creates the mpst of any type of Greenhouse gas? || X || X ||
