How Can Eating Hamburgers Cause Global Warming?

Studies show that dairy cows produce almost 20 pounds of gas each day from flatulence which means cows are contributing to global warming more than the pollution from cars in same area. When cows fart, they release a gas called methane. This gas has similar effects to carbon dioxide but the effects are 23 times as harmful as Co2. Does this mean we kill all the cows? No, but this does mean people should watch their diets a little more carefully and try to stay away from hamburgers and other red meat. In order to get 1 kg or beef it produces 34.6 kg.s of carbon dioxide. Staying away from dairy products as much as possible will also help prevent these negative effects since the demand for red meat and dairy products will be lower forcing the farmers to breed less cattle. This doesn't mean people should stop eating red meat or begin slaughtering cows but this does mean that cutting down on dairy products and red meat would dramatically reduce the effects of global warming.
