I meant 2/3 of your personal food emissions. I’m aware that this is not the solution, but it’s a very easy step and no solution will be enough without us changing what we eat.
Theres a reason people go with published peer reviewed journals and not the data sheets of non profits who refuse to disclose their sources of income. The link to the journal they’re referring to is in the article:
The data used in thr screen grabs you have also, very deliberately, separated the energy and transportation used by the meat industry, as separate things not used by the meat industry
In 2015, food-system emissions amounted to 18 Gt CO2 equivalent per year globally, representing 34% of total GHG emissions. The largest contribution came from agriculture and land use/land-use change activities (71%), with the remaining were from supply chain activities: retail, transport, consumption, fuel production, waste management, industrial processes and packaging.
While yes, consuming less meat and especially cow (dairy, beef) is good for you and the environment, your 2/3 statistic falls a part with actual data

Get your statistics right or don’t say them at all.

So 2/3 of something that wasn’t that much to start with. Got it.
Insufferable

That graph is wrong/misleading:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s43016-021-00225-9
Food = total GHG emissions * 0.34
Agriculture = Food * 0.71
(supply chain activities: retail, transport, consumption, fuel production, waste management, industrial processes and packaging) = Food * 0.29

I know how to: .71 * 18 = 12.78 Gt, which is more than double what your graph ascribes to agriculture.
Also, there’s no need to be rude, even if I had been wrong.
