      Unfortunately, it’s going to take both. Methane from cattle is a big enough deal that it matters.

        And also that it’s absurdly inefficient in terms of CO2 emissions to grow crops just to feed these animals, rather than eat the crops directly.

          We should be tackling all of it. At once. Not picking and choosing. Because we need to get to zero. Fast.

          Methane is worse in the short to medium term, so if anything we should be hitting it first. But as the other commenter suggested, it needs to be a full court press of tackling agriculture, electricity, manufacturing, transport, and efficiency all at once if he want to prevent even more severe damage to climate.

      I’ll leave your steaks alone if you leave the cows alone. I’m sure we can all get along without any sort of violence, harsh words, or forcing our preferences onto others.

      Being climate friendly is not the main reason to not inflict suffering on cows, having a moral compass is.

      When you get used to opressing others, justice feels like you’re being oppressed. Leave the cows the fuck alone, you ever heard of “live and let live”?
