Dear Authors,

Thank you for putting together this interesting and important study and capturing it eloquently in the manuscript. As a community, we have been aware of the importance of livestock emissions and their contribution to the methane budget; however, it is encouraging to see robust quantitative estimates supporting those hypotheses and also being able to resolve those emissions from other confounding sources, such as wetlands. I also commend your sincere efforts to acknowledge and respond to the reviewer comments, including augmenting your analyses with additional sensitivity tests and uncertainty analyses.

Best,

Abhishek
