Cowspiracy: The Astonishing Hypocrisy of Climate Alarmists

I haven't seen the whole video, but it's a good point, livestock and in general the practice of eating meat, is unsustainable and contributes to climate change.

That's not true, in general - only as applied to current livestock and farming practices.
 
I actually watched 20 minutes of it... Then I was over at a friends place for some hours.

Now, the video is unattainable due to copyright?

What is it about climate change deniers (and anti-vaxxers, and UFO believers) that makes them unable to process any information unless it is presented as a video? Perhaps trouble reading, or a steady diet of Youtube videos, makes them more susceptible to conspiracy theories, science denial and other pernicious memes.

Right. And the necessary modifications are obvious. Make cows dress up in rubber suits to catch all their methane farts and also teach them how to change their own diapers in environmentally safe restrooms. Or with a little luck, maybe there's a job in it for you.

Show us this report. Does it say they fart more methane than they belch?

"...methane in the rumen of farm animals which they emit when they belch..."
"...the methane they produce is no use to the animal so is expelled during belching..."

"Cows, along with goats, sheep, buffalo, and even camels, are known as ruminant animals, and all of them burp methane. This powerful greenhouse gas comes from the rumen, which is the first of the four sections in a cow's stomach, and most of it is belched—despite folklore about gases from the other end."

"Scientists at the Cow Research Institute in Mathura, around 100 miles south of New Delhi, are tinkering with cattle feed, seeking a formula that will create less gas for the cows to belch out. (That is how most of it is released, by the way; scientists say much less comes from farting.)"

"The flatulence of cows is only a small portion of cows' methane release. Cows also burp methane, due to the physiology of their digestive systems."
