What is the fundamental difference that you can somehow pin climate change on modern livestock
Also ruminants in general have existed for millions of years before thwn
I mean, the scale is totally different now
95% of all mammal biomass on earth is now humans and livestock
In absolute terms, mammal biomass has increased by about 10x compared to 100,000 years ago. ALL of that increase can be accounted for by humans and livestocks, because the biomass of wild mammals has fallen in that same time period
