Look at it from the standpoint of the carbon cycle. For example, where does the carbon in the methane originate? It is carbon that originated in plant matter consumed by cattle. It originates in the atmosphere, and goes back to the atmosphere. We do not feed petroleum or coal to cows. So net-carbon increase from cattle production is very minimal.
Going after foot production is insane.
