Serious question, what does Beef have to do with the climate vs other animals.

Something about cows farting. But I do wonder how all of a sudden the population of cows will decrease. Will Biden impose strict regulations on their breeding? Kill a bunch? Kind of makes me wonder if he and groups like Peta will clash.

When cows break wind, they emit a fortuitous amount of methane. Even though carbon dioxide is the primary culprit of "climate change", methane diffuses into the air quickly, creating a more rapid warming effect than other greenhouse gases.

Not that i care either way, I personally prefer living in a warmer climate. My primary intention was to answer your question about bovine flatulence with facts/science and not typical sophomoric OT repartee.

I don't think any of them are particularly good for the environment. Think of all the land/distribution/fuel etc it takes to just grow the food to feed these animals. It's that double loop--using land to grow food to fatten animals that become food (instead of just using land for food, say, with Okra).

I'm not a nut job and I eat all the meats, all the time. It would probably do wonders for me if I cut back on red-meat and sausage/bacon. I probably eat way too much red meat (for my health). I love me a rib-eye steak.

It's not a problem in and of it self per se, say, if we had fewer people on the planet. But the bottom line is, we are overpopulated.

I have yet to try the "impossible burger" or whatever it is but...if they can make it indistinguishable (or very close) wouldn't that be a win?
