Talking in terms of "carbon" is misleading. Methane is much more potent than CO2. I don't know why you think methane is broken down at the same rate as it is added.

- Cattle release methane

- Forests are burnt to make room for crops/grazing

- Fertilizer for crops for cattle produces nitrous oxide

I do not claim this adds up to 60%, but to suggest it is zero is incorrect.
