My thoughts exactly, just didn't want to say it.

Marketing for the sheep...
Indeed!.  There are natural methane releases at various places on earth that it would take 10 zillion cows to equal.  What about human xxxxxx?  I would suggest a fine for public farting. We could have special police to monitor all this.  I can see a new TV series called the "Fart Patrol". Or a new documentary on a new industry that collects cow xxxxxx as a fuel source. (aka Thunderdome?)
Personally, I think that the inmates are running the insane asylum.  When I see what is going on in NYC, Chi, Seattle, I am sure of it.
I predict tough times ahead for the sane folks. (is that us?) :2cents:

Just read this:  "Greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture sector made up 9.9% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2018, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Of that amount, methane emissions from livestock (called enteric fermentation) comprised more than a quarter of the emissions from the agriculture sector."

So, if my math is correct ALL livestock would produce 2.5% of the total greenhouse gas released.  So beef cattle that ends up just as hamburger is what?  one quarter of 1% of total emissions. So Burger King's share of that is minuscule.  And I see they are marketing it as a special hamburger, so probably a special price.  PR stunt for sure

It is actually the cows belching that produces the higher level of methane!

I always wondered why they had no smoking signs around the feed lots. As for belching methane?  I was under the impression that methane gas only occurred in the lower bowel--Maybe not  in cows?

From my buddies at NASA...Which is a bigger methane source: cow belching or cow flatulence?] (https://climate.nasa.gov/faq/33/which-is-a-bigger-methane-source-cow-belching-or-cow-flatulence/)
