Cows don't fart methane much. They mostly burp it. But spare a thought for the cows that have to live only on perennial ryegrass rather than natural mixed pasture. It is really bad for their health, besides making their gut bacteria generate all of that methane. There are several ways to fix that.
So no, we aren't going to kill off all of the cows and make MAGA-haters eat vegeburgers with soy shakes.
Reducing farm greenhouse gas emissions may plant the seed for a cooler planet
Cows produce methane when they belch, and manure also emits the gas. Farming operations can generate nitrous oxide in the soil, which is then released into the atmosphere.
According to the researchers, these best farming practices to reduce these gases are focused on three types of farming operations—feeding animals, storing or processing manure, and cultivating crops. Specific practices include no-till farming, sealed flare storage for manure, and high feed efficiency that can reduce cow belches.
