Some activities are forcing climate change
CH4 emissions from livestock digestion:
* Pakistan doubles emissions between 2005 and 2024.
* Pakistan and Brazil each emit 3,000 Gg/year more in 2023 than in 2005.

Against #methane 🚦
• Institutions should support vegetal proteins and dairy.
• Social movements may target the meat industry.
• Animal husbandry in the USA, Brazil, Argentina, are the emittive from enteric fermentation. Corporations should look at how other continents (not Australia) work.
• Any country should ban bovine import from Brazil, Argentina, US, Australia.
• Any country should castrate male calves. Particular buffalos in Pakistan & India.
Let's consider activities that force the Greenhouse Effect, thus @climate change. 🧵
#Livestock digestion emits too much #methane:
• People farm too many bovines in India, Pakistan, Brazil, United States, China;
• People farm too many goats in India, Pakistan, China, Nigeria;
• People farm too many pigs in China and the United States.

#Cattle husbandry emits #greenhouse gas.
For example:
* South America and the Indian subcontinent breed most bovines who emit most methane.
* China and the Middle East produce too much livestock methane in regard to their bovine headcounts.
Emissions of #methane from livestock digestion per world region:

Greenhouse gas from livestock digestion in Equatorial Climates 🧵
Along the Equator, it mainly is sheep and bovines that account for methane emissions.
The biggest producers are Ethiopia and Sudan (South Sudan included).

We would halve #methane emissions from North America if we cut cattle by half 🧵
A most efficient path would be to target #USA because the headcount is biggest and because each bovine emits most if bred the American way. Same as in Brazil: https://mas.to/@maugendre/113992940508282754

Indeed USA and Brazil were built by destroying pre-Encounter @ecology
"Successful colonization of New England depended heavily on domestic animals. […]
"At least at first, friction between these unlikely neighbors grew less from the very different ideas that informed Indian and English concepts of property than from the behavior of livestock. Let loose to forage in the woods, the animals wandered away from English towns into Indian cornfields, ate their fill, and moved on."
Historian Virginia Anderson in her book "King Philip's Herds: Indians, colonists, and the problem of livestock in early New England" https://feralatlas.supdigital.org/?cd=true&bdtext=feral-atlas-and-the-more-than-human-anthropocene&rr=true&cdex=true&text=fq-creatures-of-conquest&ttype=essay

Changing our diets and ways of producing food is crucial to combat climate change and increase human health. A key change is lessening the impact of meat and animal products like eggs and dairy. 🧵
