    How about drone strikes then? Like big undeclared man made sources of methane get a drone up the corn hole.

      Three types of problems:

      • oil and gas facilities with a leak. You may release more methane by expanding the hole
      • cows. The cattle themselves are innocent. It’s the people raising them are the problem
      • insurance: one off attacks don’t do much as a result. It takes repeated and sustained harm to shut thigns down, which means you’re likely to end up up in prison

          Not op, but: Cows emit methane, but that’s just their natural state as they fart. The problem is how many we have in the meat production industry

          Someone correct me, but I think that was the gist.
          Or did I understand you wrong? :⁠-⁠\

          Cows use bacteria in their digestion to break down ceulose into something they can digest. Those bacteria produce methane, which the cows burp out.

          Killing a few cows accomplishes nothing; you need to get people to stop raising them.
