1.Sorry for the cynicism, but this approval is by Jair Bolsonaro's government, perhaps the most relevant Global Warming denier today. If it were meaningful it wouldn't be approved. 2. The overwhelming majority of beef production in Brazil is done by small producers that just don't care and are Bolsonaro's main supporters. The main problem with them is not even methane cow flatulence, is deforestation of the rain forest for making pastures. 3. The beef importers that could put some pressure on Brazil (e.g.: European Union) already gave up on importing Brazilian beef (since Bolsonaro began insulting Angela Merkel an Macron's wife). 4. JBS, the main beef processing company in the world, might use this as window dressing and to present a polished image overseas. But they're powerless to inspect how ranchers handle their cattle.
