"If the sixteen million acres now being used to grow corn to feed cows in the United States became well-managed pasture, that would remove fourteen billion pounds of carbon from the atmosphere each year, the equivalent of taking four million cars off the road. We seldom focus on farming's role in global warming, but as much as a third of all the greenhouse gases that human activity has added to the atmosphere can be attributed to the saw and the plow."

I googled "grasslands" and then clicked "images" ... and this is the very first thing that came up.
Smart work about global warming. I have also a blog which give information about cause of global warming.
Running cars on corn oil might seem to be a good way to help the climate, but few realize what a problem the monoculture of growing that corn has become.
