    Already mentioned this in a subcomment. Your graph is about CO² specifically. The oeko institut talks about emissions from lifestock, which is mostly methane and a very significant and potent overall contribution to global warming.

    In the US, farming accounts for something like 10% of GHG emissions. Industry is the largest producer, but it “only” accounts for 30%, which is a lot, but it’s only 3x agriculture.

    Why should I not kill somebody? In Germany, there were a bit over 200 murders last year. One more would be less than 1/2 %. And globally it is really negligible. Same logic!
