I don't disagree.

But it's not as simple an equation as return everything to what it was and get rid of the cattle. Look, cattle are no longer producing methane.

You have to account for what was there before, which included large herds of bison.

To demonstrate the true reduction, you have to account for what takes the cattle's place.
