Rethinking Methane Impact

A leading physicist argues that the current calculations of methane's global warming potential are outdated and misrepresent the true impact of cattle on climate change. He emphasizes that if cattle numbers remain stable, their contribution to global warming is negligible, while the fossil fuel industry poses a far greater threat. Additionally, the U.S. is actively reducing its cattle herd, and American-raised beef is not linked to deforestation, challenging common misconceptions about livestock and environmental harm.
