And deforestation is primarily caused by the demand for meat.


Actually, deforestation accounts for about 20% of the carbon dioxide emissions released in the world according to the Union of Concerned Scientists, whom I would trust a lot more than whatever propaganda website you got your facts from. I am not arguing that deforestation is a problem. I am saying that fossil fuel use is a much bigger problem that isn't as easily reversed.
