> A better one, like you mention, is rice - again a crop with substantially worse carbon impact than chicken.

Do you have a source for that? The data at [0] indicates that chicken is about 50% worse than rice in terms of CO2e per Calorie. In fact, chicken is worse than every vegan food listed there except for broccoli, which has very few Calories to begin with.

AFAIK, the problem with rice is methane not CO2.

I love the optimism in this. Just hope "intellectual property" and corrupt politicians will not fuck this up. Unfortunately the latter is very likely to happen here in Germany. Our pork industry for example is abhorrent.

Trying to "Youtube" rewatch talks for most of them. I think conferences can be very unproductive and sometimes are more like a "fun" event than a necessity.

Yes, good conferences are fun. Fun and human connections are important for a healthy community. Hybrids could work; Live stream the talks and gather locally to watch them together.

I'd love to see more research on this, I just wonder who would actually do it.

In terms of residence in the atmosphere methane is reported to have a half-life of about 7 years. Carbon dioxide's is much much longer with estimates from 40 -> N years where N might be in the thousands.

So you are saying it could be worse. However, if they raised those cows properly it would even help with fighting climate change. But I'm sure they are going down the animal factory route instead.
