I'm curios how this compares to what Bjorn Lomborg [1] (with a longer explanation [2]) and other researchers found that going completely vegetarian accounted for a modest decrease (-2%) in energy consumption and (-4%) carbon footprint [3].

I keep seeing articles like this one and wondering if collectively we are low on ideas of how to effectively tackle climate change when the focus turns to exaggerating the effects at the margins.
