Methane contributes to global warming

Kangaroos do not contribute to global warming.

Global warming has been in the spotlight for some time. Causes and solutions have been examined for years now. The use of eco friendly materials has been pushed, knew sources of fuel have been explored, and education of this problem has been offered. The main focus of global warming has put the cause of this problem on us human beings. What has been overlooked is how animals may contribute to this problem. Scientists in Australia have actually discovered that Kangaroo’s stomachs do not produce or emit methane. Methane is one of the main causes of the thinning of the ozone layer. Ironically methane emission over Australia is about 10% less than in America. Where does this extra emission come from in the U.S.? It is from the livestock which do produce and emit methane, namely cows and sheep. My genetically alternating livestock’s stomach to be more like that of a kangaroo, methane emission could go down as much as 10%.

Nice and easy syllogism...paragraph was a little confusing the kangaroos kind of seemed to come out of nowhere...but good job!

In both syllogisms, you should switch the first two sentences. I think it would flow better with your premise. Good and interesting ideas though.

Work on the first syllogism. It could be better explained and written. But good job

Sorry but it seems like no one else thinks it's funny that you are referring to methane emissions in such a matter-of-fact tone, like you would emissions from cars. I didn't realize that gassy livestock was such a significant problem to the environment.
