Do “cow farts” cause global warming?

While it makes for endless dad jokes, it’s a myth that cow farts cause global warming.

Critics often cite global averages to suggest that cattle are one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gas, but those figures don’t tell the whole story.

Research shows that removing all livestock and poultry from the U.S. alone would only reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 0.36 percent

U.S. farmers are adopting improved tools and methods to help make cattle farming more effective, efficient and environmentally friendly.
