'What is causing the rapid rise in methane emissions?'

I was browsing 'The Guardian' earlier and came across this news article discussing the recent surge in methane (CH4) emissions. The article highlights some of the critical issues associated with CH4, which stresses how much of a damaging greenhouse gas it is. A fascinating part of this article states how animal breeders are attempting to produce cattle whose guts produce less CH4. Is there a chance this could solve the environmental problems associated with cattle? Could this mean that reducing our beef consumption would not be necessary if these types of cattle are produced? I most certainly endeavor to research this further.
