So we decrease it from 13% of global to 10%? Not much of a dent in view of the 87% from fossil fuel use 🤷🏽‍♂️ but let's not mention that

"Globally, the largest share of humanity's CO2 emissions stems from burning fossil fuels, which made up about 87% of CO2 emissions over the past 20 years. Land-use emissions are responsible for the remaining 13%." https://www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-how-land-use-drives-co2-emissions-around-the-world/

Even if we could cut all fossil fuels, the animal industry would push us over the Paris goal. Changing what we eat is a option we all have but let's not mention that
