The role of bovine methane on climate is magnified by a factor of 3 to 4! – Is it good?

According to Professor Dr. habil Wilhelm Windisch of the Technical University of Munich, the impact of ruminants on climate has been overestimated by a factor of 3 to 4.
Without the beef burger it wouldn’t affect the climate anywhere nearby as much as some people claim. This is even confirmed by the IPCC (see below).
Hat head: Klimaschau
Climate alarmists and closet vegans love to claim that cow-generated methane plays a huge role in climate change, and so people need to eat less beef and other meats from ruminants. Bill Gates even wants people to switch to fake “synthetic meat”. But it’s all mostly hype and hysteria.
Almost 5%, not 20%
According to Professor Windisch, as reported by the Bavarian Agricultural Weekly on 25 November 2021, “The role of ruminants in climate protection has hitherto been overestimated with at least the ecosystem. numbers 3 to 4. A huge contribution to climate due to climate warming has been attributed to ruminants that are wrong: 15 to 20%. ”
That means in practice the so-called closer contribution is only 5%.
Furthermore, according to Klimaschau, the number of ruminants in Germany has not increased, the data show. In 1873, Germany had a total of 16 million ruminants. But by 2010, that number had dropped to 13 million.
In addition, any methane that cows emit will eventually decompose after only a few years, Klimaschau report. The system thus remains in equilibrium and therefore has very little impact on the climate.
Endorsed by IPCC 6th Report
Based on gvf Agrar: “It is often overlooked that climate from agriculture comes from balanced biological cycles and not from fossil fuels that transport additional CO2 into the atmosphere. This was also stated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in the first volume of the Sixth IPCC Assessment Report”.
