    So if we’re taking “natural environmental carbon” and turning it into methane - how is that better??

    Trees take carbon out of the atmosphere = natural

    Taking an empty field, mass farming cows with a gas-rich diet and not sequestering the methane produced by digestion/waste = natural? (and neutral?!)

    You’re out to lunch with that opinion my guy. Provide some actual sources aside from a misunderstanding of how the carbon cycle works please.

      Because it’s near impossible to convert enough methane through cows to create a catastrophic temperature change on the whole planet. It’s not like fossil fuels with a cumulative effect.
