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 (carbon sink), mass farming cows with a gas-rich diet and not sequestering the methane produced by digestion/waste (methane production) = natural? (and carbon 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.

    Again. With the stupidest of arguments.

    "this isn't the sole source of a major problem, and won't singularly bring about catastrophe. So let's ignore it entirely, even though there are very simple means to prevent it from happening. it upsets the oligarchy because it's fatter profits to do nothing."

    You are an idiot.
