Sources of GHGs 33 Livestock Greenhouse Gas: Methane A cow in Argentina has its methane belches collected in a plastic tank. Argentine scientists say cows could be generating 30% of Argentina’s emissions. Almost half of all global methane emissions come from belching livestock and their manure, making livestock farming a significant contributor to climate change. Methane is twenty times more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2 although it does not last as long in the atmosphere, eventually breaking down into carbon dioxide and other gases. 33
