New study uses causal analysis to demonstrate big reductions in carbon emissions if fewer bovines.
In ten years, methane emissions from all activities if bovine stop would be 80 % of methane emissions from all activities if no intervention.
Results and causation are presented at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19019693

New study uses causal inference to demonstrate that we would avoid 20 % methane emissions if one commodity was replaced.
I have just published a preprint article at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19019693

20% of methane emissions would be avoided if we stopped raising cattle.
Preprint uses causal inference to demonstrate the impact of such a public policy: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19019693
It notably cites works by @vincentab, Susanne Dandl, @topepo, Kjell Johnson, Judea Pearl and others
Study: methane gas emissions would be reduced by about 20 % in ten years if stopping bovine livestock. A climate policy could be to generalize the current practice of turning male calves into steers.
