What causes elevated ozone levels?

In a 2006 United Nations’ Food and Agricultural Organization report, it claims that the livestock sector, most of which are cows, “generates more greenhouse gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalent – 18 percent – than transport.” 

According to a Danish study, the average cow produces enough methane per year to do the same greenhouse damage as four tons of carbon dioxide.  So is this significantly contributing to global warming?

Are elevated ozone layers, and climate change the same phenomena?

You posted the thread. Does that mean you believe in a manmade cause for elevated ozone levels, for climate change?
For Both? For neither?

I'm confused. Please elaborate.
And,,,,,, is  there something in your eye?

20. Support research into clean enery sources.


As for your second question, the fact that livestock produce methane seems to be of great interest to, and felt to be humorous by, climate change deniers. I don't understand why. But, they bring it up all the time.
