How did people ever believe that Godless communist climate alarmist propaganda anyway? I guess because they showed movies like "Inconvenient Truth" in schools, which was only released after Al Gore invested in a bunch of "green" companies.

Geologist here, let me explain some things. Back in the early 2000s a paper was published stating that cows produce more methane than pigs or chickens. This was picked up by certain animal rights groups as "eating meat endangers the climate" because methane is actually a greater greenhouse gas than CO2.

The problem with their argument is that it's a natural part of the carbon cycle. Cows do not get carbon from space, they get it from the plants they eat, they give off methane when they burp or fart, methane breaks down into CO2 in the atmosphere and is recycled again in plants which are again eaten by cows. They're animal rights groups however, and untrustworthy in how they presented the data.

The problem comes when we disrupt this cycle. You can say that there's problems with factory farms and there are, but free range grazing cattle is not a significant contributor to climate change. Cows are only a problem when you add fertilizers to the soil, fail to properly dispose of waste and transport feed and meat products using petroleum. Cows in and of themselves are carbon neutral.

There IS however an additional problem in that, because we've unbalanced the natural carbon cycle any addition of methane is a problem even from something like cow farts, not because cows are intrinsically a problem but because we've fucked the atmosphere so any additional methane is going to be bad. So, the animal rights groups are right, in a sort of explanatory way.

no we haven't, adding CO2 to the atmosphere only enhances it. CO2 isn't a greenhouse gas, if it were Mars would have a massive measurable greenhouse effect, but Mars has no measurable greenhouse effect whatsoever.

But you just spent a paragraph explaining how it is not additional methane and it is just methane that would have been released into the atmosphere anyway if you let the plants compost and get eaten by bugs instead of processing them through cow stomachs.

Plant matter decomposition/insects mostly releases CO2, and cows release methane, which is about 25x more potent a greenhouse gas, even if shorter-lived, and because the atmosphere is already so out-of-whack, we really do not want any more CH4 to complicate things.

TLDR: cows convert plant carbon into methane, significantly increasing the immediate greenhouse effect compared to the CO2 produced from natural decomposition.

The carbon they sequester in their bones and in the leather and tools we make from their skin and sinew that lasts for decades makes up for the potency of the methane which can also be captured and used for fuel if it were really a major concern.

If its 25x more potent, you would need a 1/25th or 4% carbon sequestration to make up the difference and since up to 40% of the weight of a cow is skin and bones that take more than 25x longer to decay than meat plus the 20% skin that is turned into leather and often preserved for even longer.

>>16252434
We do capture some environmental methane, its not an urgent issue and we don't need to capture more because we already try to limit fuel sales as it is so as not to depress the costs.

This is a super retarded take.
Domestic cattle herds have essentially replaced the wild ruminants herds that used to dominate grassland ecosystems. Wild bison and elk and buffalo and deer and gazelles also produce methane. The environment doesn't care if methane is coming from domestic or wild ruminants.
There is virtually no correlation to global domestic cattle numbers and atmospheric methane.

Like, did you even read my original post? There is nothing intrinsically wrong with cow farts. The problem is the methods we use to produce cattle feed for factory farms, the fertilizers, the shipment of meat and the stockpiling of waste. Your example of wild ruminants is no different from free range cattle. The problem is most of our meat is no longer free range cattle. Factory farms, a low but significant contributor to climate change, now accounts for 99% of our meat production. So I have no idea why you're using wild ruminants as a defense.

Your naturalism fallacy to attack a strawman aside, the causing more measurable alterations isn't true since we keep them more densely populated, manage them from birth to distribution in fenced in smaller hillier areas with clear access to lagoons and lakes where they can't stampede and stomp around obliterating the trees as easily while constantly cleaning up after them so they aren't pockmarking the entire landscape and with festering watering holes everywhere that make a more widespread ecological impact and invite more pest species to shallow waters without trees around where fish and birds can't as easily interrupt their reproduction.
