    The cow is part of the existing carbon cycle. The cow is not digging up buried carbon and releasing it. That’s mostly us.

    The focus needs to be on carbon input from these buried sources. Plants also release methane but for emotional reasons this is ok because pro-vegans accept this is coming from the existing carbon cycle. The methane from the cows is no different.

    Vegans love this topic because it makes them feel they are helping more than others. It’s all emotion. All of it. This comment section is oozing with this raw emotion.

      Funny how your comment is 100% emotional and I am forced to conclude you didn’t read the article, which cites peer reviewed studies. 😢

        Fuck this is tiring.

        These aren’t new studies.

        I’ve already read them and many more.

        The source site has a stated goal of proving factory farming is bad for the environment. It has an agenda that nearly lines up with every in these comments who is downvoting me.

        This is not science.

        Me pointing out the emotions in others response is not an emotional reaction, it’s an observation.

        This fact that you are confused by this tells me how emotionally invested you are in this topic.

        This simply isn’t how science works.

        This is how religious devotion operates.

              That need for you all to run to each other’s aid with these dismissive little quips. It is always the same.

              i was being sincere. i think you’re doing really well here.

          Or: All my emotions are science, by Mr. Rational himself. Its actually hilarious how much time you are willing to spend showing that your emotional responses are actually scientific with more emotional rhetoric and how little time you are willing to put into showing a single way that a single point in the article is wrong using science that shows otherwise. “I don’t like the rhetorical slant of the article,” does literally nothing to disprove the science they useto support their conclusions. But you are clearly the one single person on this planet that doesn’t let their emotions guide what they believe. Ok.
