You'd have to ask the experts, like @liorgreenspoon.bsky.social, who have estimated the mass, not numbers, of all rodents to be 16% of wild land mammals' mass (themselves ~2% of all mammals) but have added the following (in www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...)

Indeed!
See the mass of all terrestrial mammals (and it's worse than the pic shows: a more recent study shows wild animals as only 2% of terrestrial mammals, and another shows that ~1.3 million humans & 0.5 million ruminant livestock are added every week).

Had a quick look at Tom Opre: for instance his defence of sporting estates in Scotland (he says poor gamekeepers are ostracised, with their children getting acid thrown in their faces; grouse moors are great at sequestering carbon, etc www.fieldsportschannel.tv/tom-opre-the...)

👍 But I feel you need to correct the figure of "33% of global GHG emissions from animal ag". Experts incl. @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social show this as the figure for food systems, with livestock = ½ of that: shorturl.at/Jz5EE, tho livestock's climate impacts are far more than emissions, thru land use.

You wrote it was "putting people against people".
I doubt anyone today would dare to seriously mention diet as a way to reduce emissions, but some scientists alluded to it in 2012, linking the issue with car culture. It's far from insignificant & getting steadily worse

I asked ChatGPT (sorry 😒) to estimate the mass that is occurring above that of a healthy weight within the UK population (where it's estimated that 64% of adults are overweight or obese). It came up with 375,000 to 500,000 tonnes. How much of that gets driven? How many litres of fuel? 😵💫

If we all shifted to healthier plant-based or plant-rich diets, that would also quickly reduce methane emissions, whilst vastly increasing the potential for carbon uptake by ecosystems.
