and, those numbers are misleading, anyways.

they're comparing global numbers, which takes into account the fact that much of the world uses bad farming practices and doesn't drive cars.

i've fact checked this before and this article is more accurate - in the united states, transportation is in the 25-30% range and livestock emissions are in the 3-5% range. the difference is a little smaller in canada, iirc, but the same basic distortion is present.

so, if you're reading this, and you're talking about your own lifestyle choices, you don't want to think these are comparable issues, or that going vegan is much of a real answer. they aren't, and it isn't.
