[QUOTE="HatsOff, post: 7849666, member: 158216"] The 100 year measure is an equivalent thing, so they're not quite right to dismiss it just because the half life of methane is about a decade ([URL]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_potential[/URL]). I'd have been pointing at the fact that herd numbers haven't increased nearly as much as atmospheric methane has, so cattle are not the cause of the increases observed. Also because herd numbers are relatively stable, there is a steady state relationship so cattle aren't contributing to rising CO2e. And finally, there are definitely potential additives to reduce methane, especially for dairy cattle. [/QUOTE]
