New study uses causal inference to demonstrate that we would avoid 20 % methane emissions if one commodity was replaced. I have just published a preprint article at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19019693 #decoupling #agriculture #beef #cat
New study uses causal analysis to demonstrate big reductions in carbon emissions if fewer bovines. In ten years, methane emissions from all activities if bovine stop would be 80 % of methane emissions from all activities if no intervention.

What “counterfactuals” means
Wiktionary · Wikipediacounterfactuals
- nounA claim, hypothesis, or other belief that is contrary to the facts.
Counterfactual conditionals are conditional sentences that describe what would have been true if circumstances had been different, typically when the antecedent is taken to be false or incompatible with what actually happened. In English they are often formed with a past or irrealis morphology, as in "If Peter believed in ghosts, he would be afraid to be here", and are standardly contrasted with indicative conditionals, which are generally used to discuss live or open possibilities.
