Yeah, that title is pretty silly.  The article says that "18% of the total release of greenhouse gases world-wide" come from livestock.  18% is certainly a contributing factor but it isn't "the true cause".  That implies that all we have to do is kill all the cows and then we can pollute elsewhere all we want.  I really wish people wouldn't over-use hyperbole.

Some more on this matter.

A visit to the EPA website yielded the following graph:

As well as the following with regards to methane:

"Methane is emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil. Methane emissions also result from livestock and other agricultural practices and by the decay of organic waste in municipal solid waste landfills."

So if the EPA is anything to go by, it would be mistaken to believe that livestock is the ONLY source of methane in the atmosphere.

I'm going to guess that life and organic matter has been emitting methane since their inception but in this industrialized world of ours, additional sources of greenhouse gases have been contributing to the current levels of greenhouse gases we see today in our atmosphere.

I think human activity helps to throw things as they were on Earth out of balance much like what happens with CO2:

These facts are obviously fake since the EPA is a central part of this conspiracy.
