We do overproduce milk and we don't need that much. Also, cows aren't nearly that much of an issue for the environment because they aren't actually adding more carbon to the environment.
It did happen and the reason it happened is the exact reason why mathematicians said the math was done wrong, Dunning-Kruger is just noise.

Cow produce about 15% of greenhouse gas emission.
Meat eating is a massive issue and need to be drastically cut down or way to massively increase production efficiency need to be found.
But the liberals will make us eat bugs!
As an aside, due to deregulation there's loads of insects in food (which isn't supposed to be bugs) in the US because the laws allow that. Cause freedom.
I'd fine with eating bug if they found a way to separate the bug "meat" from the rest of it (exoskeleton, intestine and what's in them, various appendage). There are some research in using bug as animal/fish feedstock.
You know its bad when even a drugged addled moron like Trump sees through the bullshit:

Trump Admits Republicans Don't Even Know What 'Woke' Means
During a Thursday campaign event in Iowa, former President Donald Trump admitted most Republicans have no idea what “woke” actually means.

The procedure involved asking people to self-evaluate.
How was that replicated without people to ask?
I mean, I've only been saying that for months on end.You know its bad when even a drugged addled moron like Trump sees through the bullshit:

It is about carbon, and methane has a short lifespan in the atmosphere, and it's not like there weren't tons of bison emitting methane on the same lands beforehand. Cows emitting carbon is circular; plants take in the carbon through CO2, cows eat said plants, cows emit methane that eventually breaks down into said CO2 that plants take in again. We're not losing forests in the US because of cows. Me eating/drinking less dairy/beef isn't going to change anything.
Meat eating isn't a massive issue.
So you agree with Trump when he says something you like? Woke (either version) is such a basic word to define.You know its bad when even a drugged addled moron like Trump sees through the bullshit:

How does they redid the study BUT WITH random numbers mean anything more than that says? Do you still think Dunning-Kruger is an actual thing still? I'm guessing you still do just so you don't have to agree with me.
Yeah? When was that even in question? That's the thing with basing your political views off of science, reason and evidence - it doesn't require a cult leader to define the "truth" or the "real world".
If Trump came out and said it was Friday, June 2nd, I would agree with him. If Trump came out and said WW2 ended in 1945, I would agree with him. If Trump came out and said the movie Twister was released in 1996, and stars late movie star Bill Baxton, best known for his rolls in Aliens, Apollo 11 and Twister, I would agree with him.
If Trump comes out and says Jewish ghosts from Cuba stole the 2020 election from him, I would disagree.
I have no problem squaring that circle, because liberals don't form cults around people and change their world views to fit that person's world view. I have an accurate world view, that Trump can and occasionally does, swing into with a correct statement.
Phoenix being a loud dunning kruger trying to convince everyone else dunning kruger doesn't exist is absolute gold, should've been a comedy script! 
And yeah awful ppl can be right sometimes, it's not difficult to agree with a point made by someone you don't like, it's called being a mature adult. Kids and teens are even capable of this!

And even if it was difficult, it's something we should do anyway, because the alternative isn't pretty.Phoenix being a loud dunning kruger trying to convince everyone else dunning kruger doesn't exist is absolute gold, should've been a comedy script!
So how did they redo the bit that involved asking people to self-evaluate?
Because of course if they didn't do that bit... then they didn't redo the study.
Methane is also many, many times more effective than carbon dioxide as a cause of global warming. In fact, because methane depletes quickly curbing methane emissions is the most important way of reducing the impact of global warming in the short term, as the effects would be felt within decades, while cutting CO2 emissions now will not actually have much impact for centuries.
Do you not understand what "BUT WITH" means? Do you actually believe Dunning-Kruger is a thing? You always cut out the most important thing.
If animals outputting methane is some massive issue, the earth would already have experienced environmental collapse long before we started burning fossil fuels. I'm guessing you watched Cowspiracy or something filled with very poor science.
Its called Animal Husbandry, and as far as we can tell only us humans ever achieved it. Industrial production of animals, far beyond the numbers animals can achieve in the wild.
Take pigs for example. There are roughly 6 million wild pigs in the continental US: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/wild-hogs-swine-pigs-feral-us-disease-crops#:~:text=Today, around six million feral,thriving in nearly any environment.
However there are roughly 72 million farm pigs:

Now I may just be one of those egg-head liberals that reads and can do math, but I'm fairly sure 72 is higher number than 6. Almost as if the industrial production of an animal creates greater numbers of than animal than you would find in the wild.
As to the cowspiracy that cows contribute to global warming...yeah. Its real. 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emmisons comes from cow burps/farts:
Cow burps are a major contributor to climate change — can scientists change that?
Livestock production—primarily cows—produce 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. The majority of that is in the form of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is a natural byproduct of how some livestock process food. But as Christopher Booker reports, scientists are hoping that small...

Cows and Climate Change
Cattle are the No. 1 agricultural source of greenhouse gasses worldwide. One cow belches 220 pounds of methane yearly. Fortunately, UC Davis has solutions.

Farmers, scientists seek solutions to global warming caused by cows
The world's one billion+ cows are responsible for about 40% of global methane emissions - a significant contributor to global warming. Some climate-smart farmers and scientists are tackling the problem from, ahem, both ends.
But again, this is egg-head stuff by scientists and readers. Its not real world stuff, you know?
The issue is specifically ruminants, such as cattle. Most animals only produce a small ammount of methane in their intestines, which they fart out occasionally. Ruminants produce much, much larger quantities of methane in one of their stomachs, which they burp out continuously. Their shit also gives off a lot of methane as it decomposes.
Because of intensive farming, there are far, far more ruminants (especially cattle) in many areas than the ecosystem could naturally support. This also means they can't rely on grazing for food and need to be fed grain, which causes them to produce more methane.

There was an estimated 45 million buffalo in the US before Europeans came over. Also, there are 100,000 elephants today while there was an estimated 26 million 500 years ago. Guess what elephants emit? Methane. To act like there couldn't have been similar amounts of animals producing methane at dangerous levels hundreds/thousands/millions of years back is just not true. If animals emitting methane is so dangerous, we would've had an environmental collapse a long time ago.
Again, that is bad science used as propaganda. The 14.5% number is from GLOBAL numbers. In the US for example, beef accounts for 2% of all US GHG emissions. Also, what does it matter the percent? I'm guessing before human interventions, animals probably contributed like 90% (or something like that) to GHG emissions, thus we've come so far in curbing animal emissions if you wanna use that metric. The question is if it's too much and if it is, how big of a problem it is. Regardless of those answers, it's a rather tiny problem (if it is one) in comparison to other GHG emitting issues there are. We also literally need cattle to survive. Cattle are such an important food source because they can eat all the food we can't eat and turn it into food we can eat plus the eat all that food on land that we can't use to grow food on anyway.
