"Is there more methane produced by animals, ruminating animals in North America, than there was before we industrialized it and before we colonized it?"

"Then how can you make a statement that cattle, domestic cattle, produce more methane than the buffalo did before we got here? Because that statement is false."

"How many buffalo or bison were there in North America before Europeans settled it?"

"I was interested, particularly, in the climate-induced mortality risk impact of an increase in temperature."
