>>somewhere around 90kg of CO2e<< What's the scientific source of this figure, Dave? That seems like some heavy cow farting and burping to me! I know you have the source, since you're heavily into source documents.

There you go again. I never said or implied that. I just haven't seen the number. The average cow emits how much per year in CO2e (i.e., CO2 equivalents)? You probably know that, right? (somewhere around 90kg of CO2e). Ok, let's use these. There are ~1.5 Billion cows on the planet (we won't count the oddballs like goats, sheep, etc. Only cows). So, we're talking about maybe 135 Billion tons. A year. Right here is you lose me. kg != tons. In fact, it is 3 orders of magnitude off. So GIGO. Which is typical of wingnut arguments.
