Topics: Dairy, Sustainability, Beef Cattle, Climate Change,
Cattle and beef/milk consumption often take the blame for climate change. Yes, dairy and beef cattle produce methane and methane is 28 times more potent than CO2. BUT the rest of the story is that methane only stays in the atmosphere for ten years and CO2 is there for 1,000 years (and nothing destroys it.) Methane is destroyed through oxidation. It's essentially destroyed at the rate it is produced, making it a "flow" gas rather than a "stock" gas like CO2. So much of the story is left out...cattle play an important role in the biogenic carbon cycle. Cattle are part of the SOLUTION.
