This is why "grassfed" doesn't solve it. Cattle in places evolution never designed for them still destroy ecosystems.
The problem isn't the animal. It's the invasion.

How We Moved Cattle to Six Continents—And Why That's the Real Problem
North America had 30-60 million bison. Australia had zero native cattle. South America had no ruminant herds.
The problem isn't replacing them, It's invading continents evolution never designed for them.
Here's the scale: humans and livestock now make up 90-96% of total mammal biomass on Earth.
We've replaced wild ecosystems with domesticated ones. Across continents that never had them.
Here's what unsettles me: innovation is accelerating (vitiforestry, smart corn, biomass tracking). Solutions exist.
But we're removing the monitoring systems that would tell us if they're working.

We're Dismantling Ocean Monitoring While Forests Fill With Dead Trees and Insurance Disappears
The Trump administration is dismantling a $368 million ocean monitoring system that tracks coastal environments, marine ecosystems, and currents that affect global climate.
Insurance is disappearing. Germany warns premiums could double in a decade. France's disaster insurance has been running at a deficit since 2016.
Your home is becoming uninsurable. Not damaged yet. Uninsurable.
Wealthy households pay higher AC bills. Low-income families have no reliable electricity. No AC. Home as hot as outside.
Who survives depends on who you are.
"Indoor heat is where the infrastructure deficit becomes lethal."
This is coming to your city.

India's Nights Are No Longer Cool—Heat That Never Breaks Is Becoming a Disease
Eight of the past ten years, India's nighttime temperatures stayed above historical averages.
Heat no longer breaks at night. Bodies can't recover. Heat becomes cumulative and lethal.
Rising nighttime cooling demand is pushing India's power grid toward failure. Solar helps daytime, but evening supply is constrained. Iran war disrupting LNG.
Blackouts hit when people most need AC. That's not inconvenience.
Climate Change Isn't Just Environmental Anymore—It's Everything at Once
Rivers losing oxygen. Cities built for cooler climates burning. Housing unaffordable because disasters keep destroying it. Energy systems failing under heat load.
This isn't environmental news.
In South Asia: "What used to be rare heat is now regular reality."
Hundreds of millions facing extreme heat for increasingly long periods. Not emergency moments. New baseline. Human bodies stressed year-round.
