Abstract

A comment by Dr. Rigolot acknowledged the scientific value of our recent study on livestock methane emissions and mitigation potentials, while highlighting that our study should better "cultivate synergies between production and more ambitious demand-side efforts." The author's comment questioned our narrative to be inadvertently (not intentionally) contributing to a "climate delay discourse" in several ways that might hinder ambitious mitigation efforts. This is indeed a welcome perspective that merits further comment.
