No cow, sheep, pig, or goat has ever managed to create carbon from nothing.
They produce products by using carbon taken out of the air which is then stored away in the bones of growing children, in carpets and furniture and clothing. This means greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere can not increase due to the presence of ruminants; they can only decrease if anything.
