Hahahahah...I don't believe that for one second, but at least our overlords have a sense of humor.

Cow stomachs produce enormous amounts of methane.

Yes, I am well aware cow farts contain methane, its the latest obsession of the WEF. But how is it simultaneously in concentrations and volumes large enough that a group of cows can set off mega-ton fart explosions? And if it does happen like that, why have I never heard of this happening before? There has been a very recent war on cow farts, and now, conveniently, a totally unprecedented cow fart catastrophe has taken place. This sounds like the explanation of that vax injured football player who supposedly had the first ever tackling heart-attack to me. Not buying this explanation without at least a better sales pitch containing a reasonable explanation of what went wrong here that has never gone wrong before

Because...

Cow stomachs produce enormous amounts of methane.

This is not some made up shit that the WEF invented last month. I remember bovine methane emissions being a concern even decades ago and it has always been the case that farmers derail the discussion by trying to turn it into a childish joke. "Hah, they want to tax our cow's farts? LOL fart taxes, isn't that silly?". Nevermind that 3/4ths of the methane come out of the front end, no let's turn it into a silly conversation about farts so everyone treats it as an infantile matter.

And if it does happen like that, why have I never heard of this happening before?

Your first link was from cow farts and caused a single injured cow with no deaths

Your 3rd link that did have deaths was NOT from farts, but from a manure pit

The WSJ link is also about a manure pit, though I can't read the full story with the paywall.

An 18,000 dead-cow sized explosion would seem to require more of an explanation than just "farts". Though if they had an accident with a manure pit, that is slightly more plausible, as it might somewhat explain the sheer volume of methane and the failure to disperse
