Oktoberfest 'produces 10 times as much methane as Boston'

The internet tells me that a single dairy cow produces 110 kg of methane per year. This festival produces 1,500kg of methane each year, so less than a herd of 14 dairy cows.

Beef cows only emit about half as much as dairy cows, but in total, there are about 1 billion cows on earth. I calculate they emit at least 40 million Oktoberfest's worth of methane each year.

In summary, this is not my favorite Guardian article.

That's it, we gotta hang up celebrations and festivities now. From here on out, no one is allowed to party on penalty of death.
