Cow burps are warming the planet. When cows burp, they release methane into the environment — a gas that rises into the atmosphere and acts like a blanket, trapping heat and preventing it from escaping into space.

In other words, methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and one of the main drivers of the climate crisis we are currently experiencing.

But to avoid the level of alarm this should generate — and to protect the livestock industry — the sector has developed a strategy. In this episode, we uncover and explain that plan.

This podcast is part of Maximiliano Manzoni’s investigation The Methane War, a project by Climate Tracker Latin America and Consenso, supported by the Bertha Challenge 2025.
