No in itself no.Are you suggesting that ruminant livestock IS responsible for climate change?
One cause of more co2 in the atmosphere is human activity, including farming, but only because it allows other specialists to burn carbon (like airline pilots or mums on the school run).
Some farm systems emit more carbon than others and some absorb more.
I don't go along with the claim that all ruminant systems are good. Overgrazing causes desertification which leads to soil degradation. And feeding animals crops which aren't grass is probably harmful.
Which is why I suspect we might not all be singing from the same hymnsheet.
