Most carbon released into the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2). Ruminants release carbon in the form of methane (CH4). Methane is more potent than carbon dioxide but it is faster to oxidize in the atmosphere, producing carbon dioxide and water (H2O). It is still carbon and it’s all part of the natural carbon cycle.
