What about when seaweed is added to the feed which reduces methane emmission by 70%?

The numbers that go into these approximations are not reliable and that's the problem with trying to have some exacting figure 20-28 and use that to create policy.

Which is why we can know that it is just about creating policy.

Seaweed in a cows diet either: increases the CO2 the cow emits, increases the mass of carbon the cow shits, or increases the mass of the cow. The carbon has to go somewhere. I don't know where it goes, but regardless of where it goes, there's no doubt about where it came from to begin with. Virtually all the carbon cows eat was pulled out of the atmosphere by plants.

Do you have a point?

I have missed it.
