What about farm animals?
The story highlights that farm animals produce significantly more methane than wild ones, about 38 times more. This is because there are vastly more farm animals, especially cattle, raised for human consumption globally. Their collective digestive processes are a major contributor to agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.
