Contrary to the regenerative ranching racquet, this meta-analysis further adds to the consensus:
Natural ecosystems contain more stable soil carbon stores than even the best agricultural land, and their preservation (& restoration as best as possible) is therefore crucial.

GMO plants expressing nitrous oxide, reductase and their mitochondria could stop soil emissions 100% and remove a lot of atmospheric nitro oxide. youtu.be/vHZZfKukT4M

Sorry, all livestock ag drives climate change: methane, nitrous oxide & CO2 emissions + 'carbon opportunity costs" on all the land used, that could otherwise store more carbon. So-called regen grazing (no agreed definition) can often be the worst, with much greenwash. E.g.: bsky.app/profile/nich...
There's zero evidence that grazing cattle perfectly can ever be better than this:

I am not aware that small engines produce nitrous oxide. I think you’re confusing it with NOX/NO2. Nitrous oxide is emitted from lawns that are fertilized. maybe we can invent a grass that can degrade nitrous oxide. Would you buy one? youtu.be/vHZZfKukT4M

The science showing that CO2 absorbs heat, and that fossil fuels could warm the earth, was made by a great scientist, Eunice Newton Foote, who published her work in 1856. The subsequent science follows her pioneering work and insights.
