How do we deal with livestock emissions?

Realistically? Introduce a meat rationing system. First 125g/day are tax free. Progressive taxation for each additional 100g.

Since the methane produced from cows is from belching, couldn't we contain them somehow and trap the gas before it reaches the atmosphere?

The large part of a cows footprint comes from the water required to produce, which a meat tax would also help to reduce

Real answer: actively convert atmospheric methane into CO2. Shouldn't be too hard, it happens naturally. The real issue is CO2 from fossil fuels.

>>10386981
Proxy data does not show a global mean temperature anomaly changing as rapidly as the modern trend for at least the last 400,000 years. The modern warming is at least 10x faster in rate than any other observed trend. Whatever the limitations, the instrumental record unequivocally shows the modern warming trend is happening and correlates well with increases in GHGs since the industrial revolution.
