It's fossil fuels. Something like a 100 million barrels of oil a day.

But people blame the cows. LMAO

It's both. There are trillions of cattle producing an enormous quantity of feces every day that produce enormous quantities of methane, which is a far worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide per gram

AFAIK there's actually less than a billion cattle

It's BOTH of what you listed, and more, that are affecting climate. Just because something is a greater percentage of the cause, doesn't negate the other contributors.
