You CAN see the picture above, right?
The fauna of this planet have been around forever. Longer than humans even. And in greater numbers in the past.
If you wanna run around blaming the climate on farts, feel free.
If you don't even attempt to try hard, you can figure out that there is many more things affecting the climate, than a few farts.
If you want to educate yourself to these other reasons, feel free. But here's the kicker...
You need to do the work on educating yourself, by yourself. A good first step is actually doing some learning and thinking, rather than just regurgitating things.
You need to realize that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreampt of in your philosophy.
I can't and won't do it for you.
holy shit, you can't possibly be that ignorant, can you?
livestock (and cattle in particular) production has increased almost exponentially over the last 125 years, and unlike the wild herds of past times (that only in very very few places of the world were actually larger in numbers than current populations) they require feed production and massive deforestation to satisfy today's demand for meat - major contributors to climate change. you see, the 'few farts' (that would already be a relevant factor on their own) are by far not the full extent of beef production's massive carbon footprint. again, i'm not surprised you're so fixated on that one point since it's the only thing mentioned on your little propaganda poster, but the world is a bit more complicated than a hacky 4chan meme - a shame you never grew up to learn that...
and just for the record, i've already elaborated in a previos post that livestock is of course not the only or even the main contributor to climate change (i'm used to your poor reading comprehension though, so i gladly post it again), but that does not mean it's insignificant.
again, the scientific facts are out there, i can only explain them to you, i can't understand them for you. it's your choice if you want to keep making 'arguments' on a pre-school level, or if you want to learn the truth about the matter - and although i fully expect you to completely ignore it again, i will post the link once more - just in case anyone reads this post who is equally ignorant, but maybe a bit more curious and open minded:
