Red meat particularly beef is linked to climate change in significant ways:

  1.  Methane emissions - cows commonly raised for beef production emit, Methane a potent Greenhouse gas, that contributes to global warming.
  2.  Deforestation  - creating grazing land for livestock often involves cutting down forests.
  3.  Carbon dioxide - certainly! beef production has a significant impact on climate change due to Greenhouse gas emissions and land change, use cows and other ruminant animals (like goats and Sheep) emit methane during digestion. This process called "Entric fermentation" results in Methane burps.

 

In 2010 , beef production contributed about 3 billion tones of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions  annualy including both agricultural production and land-use  cahrge.
