If ten million heavy beef eaters stopped eating beef the difference would be huge. But just so we can actually talk numbers, how much beef does a heavy beef eater eat? 1/4 a pound a day? 1/2 pound? 1 pound in uncooked weight?

To show how confusing all this can be, while you're avoiding/reducing your meat consumption, you should probably also try to stay away from organic products.  While the common assumption is that it's great for the environment, it's starting to look like the opposite is true, and for much the same reason as meat production - inefficient use of land.

Sure. In 1990 the world population was 1,098,269,000. In 2017 it was 998,313,000. Take the numbers here, put them into a graph and put them over the top of a graph of methane numbers year by year and tell me how we can hang this all on cows. Are we feeding them even gassier diets over the last 30 years?
