Causes
Animal Abuse
The meat industry
-
People use it because it gives them a cheap way to make profit but it promotes animal cruelty and is a major cause for global warming
Each day at least 1billion animals are killed for meat and at least 2.7 billion fishes are killed world wide for food
The meat industry is worth at least 2 trillion USD based on world wide figures and grows at a rate of 2-3% each year
The meat industry leads to at least 15% though actual numbers can be from 50% to 90% of the annual emissions released into the earths atmosphere
Nitrogen fertilizer is used to grow all the feed that is required to feed the animals which is actually about 7 times as much as they would actually eat
This is used for better quality meat regardless of how the animals feel or of the animals natural habits
Methane is released in the atmosphere which leads to more of this harmful gas getting released into the atmosphere and increasing global heat levels
Methane is part of the animals body and is a natural digestive system for them so when they die it gets released into the atmosphere
When an animal dies carbon is also released into the earth's atmosphere which contributes to global warming
Many factory farms are built on lands that were homes to forests of trees contributing to global warming and deforestation

Fishing Industry
Fishing is a major contributor to climate change as leads to the killing of many marine life which can lead to vast amounts of carbon being released into the atmosphere
Fish farming releases all sorts of harmful gases that originate from the chemicals that are used to stimulate the growth of the fish for breeding
