The water vapour "issue" has been ditched by the great and the good because there’s no money in it, but I’m sure you knew that anyway.
The relevant bit of the video, to this thread (4.08 to 10min), is that doubling of methane , would only result in a rise of 0.012 degrees Celsius.

The video says it would take 300 years , to double , at current increments.

I don't know if the different isotopes of Carbon( C12,C13,C14 etc) cause different amounts of warming , but we all know methane from ruminants hasn't changed much over the years.
By source I meant atmospheric (ie ruminants/rice etc) rather than fossil. Fundamental difference, but hey ho.

A little twitter spat with Hannah Ritchie and her Our World in Data analysis of the Poore and Nemecek data.
(The Our World in Data food systems analysis has just been 'redesigned' on the OWID website but it looks same-old-same-old to me.)
Following the chain you don’t have to go far to see Ritchie referencing herself making factual errors. Fossil methane has a warming factor of 28 times using GWP100 but ruminant methane is 25 using the same broken methodology. She’s oblivious to that. Never mind all the cluelessness when it comes to actual nutrition. It’s just tiresome.

The world is being guided by people who don’t understand that they don’t understand the things that they’re researching and commenting on.

Chap from Rothamsted just been talking about the need to measure available protein when assessing environmental impact. He said beef has 100% available protein in the human gut, bread 45%.

This is beyond important when looking at what the cartel have signed themselves - ie us lot - up to. 50% of the protein they sell is to be non-meat.

This would be so much simpler if we had a carbon tax.

Using the DIAAS protein scoring system puts it all in the correct light. Meat and dairy are way out on their own. No surprise but it’s a good system to jeopardise the narrative.
