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.
