Global warming is called the greatest threat to mankind, and the greatest environmental threat in the world. Scientific communities believe that global warming is real and human beings are to blame.

Human activities release greenhouse gases and prevent heat out of Earth's atmosphere. Scientists report that this phenomenon will greatly increase natural disasters, such as droughts, floods, storms, increasingly frequent and intense sea levels, and disease attacks. Scientists also warn global warming threatens the lives of millions of humans and animals alike.

Many people who feel responsible try to reduce global warming by driving cars with greener fuels, and using energy-efficient incandescent lamps. While this can all help, scientists point out that being veg is perhaps the most effective way to combat global warming. In 2006, the United Nations reported raising animals for food to produce more greenhouse gases compared to the combined gas generated by cars and trucks worldwide.

UNESCO senior officials Henning Steinfeld reported that the meat industry is one of the most important contributors to today's serious environmental problems .

Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide are the biggest causes of global warming. Breeding livestock for food is one of the largest sources of carbon dioxide and a source of methane and nitrous oxide emissions.

Carbon dioxide: the burning of fossil fuels (such as oil and gasoline) produces carbon dioxide, the primary gas responsible for global warming. To produce one calorie of animal protein, 10 times more fossil fuel input, releases 10 times more carbon dioxide than for manghasilkan one calorie calorie vegetable. Giving legumes and water in large quantities to livestock feed, then killing them, processing, transporting and storing their meat is very energy consuming.

In addition, the large amount of carbon dioxide contained in trees is released during massive forest destruction to provide pasture for livestock and farmland to grow legumes for fodder. The most severe, animal fertilizers also release large amounts of carbon dioxide.

You can exchange regular cars with a Toyota Prius hybrid and by doing so, you can prevent 1 ton of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere every year, but according to the University of Chicago, being vegan is more effective against global warming, being vegan can prevent about 2.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering atmosphere compared with meat eaters.

The calculation is very simple: You spend over $ 20,000 to buy the Prius and still spend more than 50% of carbon dioxide compared to you giving up to eat meat and other animal products. Methane: Chickens, turkeys, pigs and cows stuffed into factory farms every year in the United States produce huge amounts of methane, along with a waste tank containing animal feces.

Scientists report that every pound of methane produced is 20 times more effective than carbon dioxide in storing heat in the atmosphere. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) shows animal farms are the single largest methane emitter in the United States.

Nitrous Oxide: Nitrous Oxide is potentially 300 times more than carbon dioxide as a cause of global warming. According to the United Nations calculations, 65% of Notrius Oxide emissions are generated from meat, eggs and animal products.

You Can Help Stop Global Warming The most influential step we can take as individuals to prevent global warming is to stop eating meat, eggs, and animal products.
