The balance of the evidence to date is that raising ruminants responsible for something like 35-40% of anthropogenic methane emissions. That’s big enough to be worth addressing.
Ok, I see. But still, 99% seems a little much, given a billion cows, the vast majority of which kept under conditions defined by humans to increase milk and meat production.
N3m37h’s apparent belief that absolutely every other industry besides oil/gas is irrelevant for climate change. Oil/gas is obviously the biggest chunk but agriculture, construction, etc. all need to change too.

Big oil has neglected to include well burnoffs in their calculations making those studies garbage.
What makes you so sure there can only be one singular big culprit, rather than multiple culprits of different sizes?
No, but that 35-40% is not right by any means.
That’s the point I am making. All old studies should be taken with a bucket of salt.

What exactly do you mean?
