    Just wait till Google gets the methane satellites and show that big oil is the one doing 99% of the pollution

      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.

              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.

            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.

              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.
