Problem is whan a cow in the herd gets struck by lightning.....herd instantly exploded...body parts all over

Research from the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre shows methane and nitrous oxide emissions from livestock contributed to 19 percent of the world's global warming in 2010.
An additional 4 percent was due to emissions created when land was converted to pasture.
The study's author, Andy Reisinger, said the figures showed the critical role methane played in global warming.
"This estimate does not consider indirect emissions from energy use or growing livestock feed, such as soy beans, so this can be taken as a lower bound of the actual contribution of livestock to global warming.
Dr Reisinger said livestock emissions were likely to increase as global demand for livestock products increased.
He said that even though methane behaved differently to carbon dioxide - it does not last in the atmosphere for as long - reducing methane emissions would makes a significant contribution to reducing climate change impacts.
"If countries are serious about meeting the goals of the Paris agreement on climate change - which is to limit global warming to well below 2°C and ideally even 1.5° - then livestock emissions still make up about 20 percent of that warming in the year 2100, even if we make a lot of effort to reduce those emissions."
Don’t kill the farting animals. I don’t want glaciers coming through my property .
btt
Every time I read this warmist garbage I burn an old tire outside to protest...just to do my part.
My wife says I contribute 23% of methane to the world. Personally I think it’s actually less that 18%.
Ah, yes. The "common people must only eat grass and bugs" committee speaks out.
As I recall, there was very little warming in 2010.
But I understand his logic.
He assumes there was warming.
He assumes methane from livestock contributes to it.
Using the theory behind those assumptions, he assigns a percentage.

That’s right. Bugs are the new protein.
How much is 19% of zero? Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.
Billion bison good! Billion cow bad!
Million wildibeast good~ Million cow bad!
Million zabra good! Million horse bad!
Liberals create 70% of all the global warming gasses. Just get rid of the liberals and everything will be fine.
So it’s a good thing we killed off those millions and millions of buffalo on the Plains of the US?
Save the world, ban all human consumption of meat!!! /sarc
Carbon filter diapers
Expect a Ton of this Bull over the next 2 weeks ,LOL
The study is cow poop. The Sun is responsible for essentially all warming, even that which is temporary.
Your pic reminds me of the street prayer scene in Paris.
So cow methane creates 19% of the global warming.
How much comes from the muzzies’ rears, 5 times a day?
If the cows hadn’t eaten the grass or grain, it would have been ingested by bacteria any way producing the same amount of Methane.....so I’m not sure of their math or their methodology. What about large whales eating sea plankton....or vegetation rotting away in the swamps and jungles of the world.....did they count humans...there’s more of us than cows. How about deer, elk, wild sheep, water bullalo. I think these kooks are full of the methane they complain about...they can blow it out their behinds and light a match to it! Their science certainly stinks!
Like my daddy always said, there are three types of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics. You can make up some great statistics based on nothing.
According to my wife cattle contribute 20% and I contribute the remaining 80%. Her report is as accurate as any of the others that originate from the climate change mental cases with an agenda. I prefer her numbers because she lets me sleep with her.
