FWIW, I totally agree with this. In spite of the fact that I find the CO2

I've read that the belching of methane by livestock contributes far more
to atmospheric changes than does CO2.
Three links to relevant information about CO2 vs. methane:
Methane’s GWP [global warming potential] is 21 times higher than that of
carbon dioxide:

While atmospheric concentrations of CO2 have risen by about 31% since
pre-industrial times,
methane concentrations have more than doubled. ...the primary sources of
these [CO2] emissions—cars and power plants—also produce aerosols.
Aerosols actually have a cooling effect on global temperatures, and the
magnitude of this cooling approximately cancels out the warming effect
of CO2.
