    No, it’s mostly their poop.

    The “cow farts” and “cow burps” phrasing is used to downplay the seriousness of the issue.

    Global animal agriculture produces enormous quantities of cow poop, which produces enormous quantities of methane, which is one of the biggest causes of the climate catastrophe.

      This says otherwise.

      Anyway, yeah, I agree. It’s all a distraction. I don’t know how sayings it’s poop helps. The problem is cattle farming produces a ton of methane. The details don’t really matter.
