Livestock are responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse-gas emissions as
measured in carbon dioxide equivalent, reports the FAO. This includes 9
percent of all CO2 emissions, 37 percent of methane, and 65 percent of
nitrous oxide. Altogether, that's more than the emissions caused by
transportation.

Animal-rights activists and those advocating vegetarianism have been quick
to pick up on the implications of the FAO report.
"Arguably the best way to reduce global warming in our lifetimes is to
reduce or eliminate our consumption of animal products," writes Noam Mohr in
a report for EarthSave International.
Changing one's diet can lower greenhouse gas emissions quicker than shifts
away from fossil fuel burning technologies, Mr. Mohr writes, because the
turnover rate for farm animals is shorter than that for cars and power
plants.
thanx,
bill
