You don't know if it will be the the same. My guess is they bought US beef cause it is cheap. If it is more expensive, people might be eating less. At least, that is what environemntal companies say; tax meat extra and people will eat less.
Unwillingly trump did great things for the climate, mustn't there be a lot of happy people here? 3 weeks ago it looked like the world would come to an end cause Trump didn't want to sign the Paris Agreement and therefor the earth will be 0.1 degrees warmer in 100 years. Now he does something great for the climate, but people are still not happy???!!!??

bjorn - donīt be stupid.
you canīt compare the CO2 damage from beef with in example the damage caused by fracking or coal.
what you guys like to forget in this "cow fart problem" is that cows are eating gras. gras is reducing CO2 and there would be less gras if there would be less cows.
in fact EVERY plant is producing CO2 as soon it it used for something or eaten. it is producing the SAME amount of CO2 what it needs to take while it is growing. thatīs why
you will INCREASE CO2 with fossils like coal, gas or oil because that is not growing again and there will not be any consumption of CO2 from growing plants.
your argument would make sense if this cows where eating coal or gas or oil. but the good thing is: they donīt like it !
