Economist: 🐄 Beef emits 31 times more CO₂ per calorie of food than tofu does. By cooking so many cows, we are cooking ourselves, too. Forgoing steaks 🥩 may be one of the most efficient ways to reduce our carbon footprint

Me: Bitcoin mining ⛏️ can lower the carbon from cow manure 84 times by financing the anaerobic digesters that convert methane to CO2 & supporting farmers with a diversified revenue stream

Maybe you Google „to eructate“ in that context! The Methan ain’t in the dung, it’s mostly in the burps.

It's in the dung too, and 84x is nothing to sneeze at. Helping some is better than nothing

Yeah it’s up to 300 liters per day due to the burps and about 90 liters per year due to the dung, it is not nothing and it is good that it is converted, but the main methane issues persist!

Sorry it’s about 220 liters per year, not 90 but still pretty low! By the way, using less antibiotics in the farming processes would also decrease methane in cow burps a bit!
