    The Cattle Australia deputy chair, Adam Coffey, said producers were “after recognition that our [methane] emissions are inherently different from cumulative fossil (CO2) emissions”.

    Oh yeah? Different how? At least that isn’t followed by some industry-approved scientific word game and the reader is free to look up methane on their own.
