    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

          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.

          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? :⁠-⁠\
