I’ve seen this debated all over the place lately and I just can’t seem to get a straight answer. I know cattle rearing is environmentally damaging for other reasons but is there a simple yes/no answer to the methane issue?
Explain like I’m five please.
In: Earth Science
What we call “cows” in the USA are not native, and they can’t digest native plants properly, which is why they release methane instead of harvesting those chemical bonds for energy. So that’s why nature’s operation has gotten out of whack and it’s not a closed system anymore
