    Huh… Did you even attempt to read what you’re citing, or have you just copied the first two Google results?

    None of these sources is listing how much each food source contributes to greenhouse emissions - they’re just listing how emissions are grouped by category (industry, agriculture, etc). This infographic is a breakdown of the food impact, not a ranking of which industry is got the most emissions - this is quite obvious.

    Not eating red meats is the single most impactful change an individual can have on their carbon footprint, it does not mean it’s the single most effective change the entire world could make. In fact, the very infographic you’re criticizing mentions how much of these emissions come from food production.

    Try again.
