Cows Week?

It's somewhat disturbing to read that the greenhouse gas emissions from the world's 13 largest dairy farms matches that of the UK (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jun/15/emissions-from-13-dairy-firms-match-those-of-entire-uk-says-report). This emphasises that our ability to halt (or even reverse) climate change is probably more dependent on commercial organisations (and our diet?) than on the individual undertakings of entire countries. I suspect that these mega-dairy farms are much more focused on milk production than they are on curbing their emissions.
