I this country deaths exceed births so the population already here is shrinking. The population growth is and has and will be coming from immigration.
How long this can go on for is doubtful. Most countries now have birth rates close to replacement rate and still falling, so legal migration may well end because qualified people will all be able to get jobs in their countries of origin. Then there are refugees, whether those numbers fall depends on world conflicts ending. Currently we have an American president who is a war monger and whose actions have forced many people to flee their countries and seek refuge elsewhere.
Cows only contribute to global warming if they are being reared in industrial conditions, fed food stuffs (maize and soya) that their digestions cannot cope with.
If cows are raised in natural conditions. Out to pasture all year long and grazing on pasture full of different plants, not only is the meat better for you, cows fart far less and through the way they are raised, sequester carbon in to the soil bringing their cntribution to global warming close to zero.
Pasture for Life meat is expensive but we dealt with it by halving our meat portion, a good thing to do anyway and replacing it with vegetables and beans.
