0 emissions? Methane from cattle is a large contributer to climate change. If we had as much horses as we have cars, the amount of methane would be too much to handle.

Cars run on gas, horses run on grass.
Livestock contribute by land use (deforestation, crops for feed, pasture), water consumption, and the fossil fuel used in logistics processes (farm equipment, transport, electricity, etc...)
But anyways, animal farts come from preexisting carbon in the biosphere. Car farts come from extracting previously sequestered carbon. So without extractive processes, and with ethical land use/management, the atmospheric methane wouldn't have a significant impact.
Also you fart too. So there's that...

Methane is 81x worse that CO2 over 20 Years, so if it came from atmospheric carbon it's only 80x as bad.

So you're saying to solve climate change we need to remove the humans? You might be on to something there.
A few select ones would make a massive difference.
Fuck your Honda Civic, I've a horse outside
Wow that was a blast from the past! Still a bit of a banger too!

I think this shows a kind of intellectual impairment.
