Intestinal gases that form in the body of pigs, cows, and other livestock pollute the Earth’s atmosphere much more than numerous cars.
The car, as it turns out, is not the main factor that pollutes the earth’s atmosphere. If in the first places, quite logically, are thermal power plants, as well as industrial enterprises, followed by agriculture in the next lines of the rating. First of all, harm to the environment is caused by the burning of forests, which in some countries are set on fire in order to cleanse the territory. Farms are considered the second pollutant in this area. It is on them that various individuals of cattle pollute the atmosphere with their «exhaust», which is worse in composition than automobile.
And only on the fifth place of the rating is road transport.
