More than 80% of world population is Meat eater but this  calculation is done considering 70% population as meat eaters

Production of 1 kg beef  = 13.3kg of CO2 eq. 

(Note: 13.3 kg CO2 eq. emissions = burning 6 liters petrol) 

Consider approx. 70% (4.6 billion) of world population eating  500g beef/ day,

GHG emissions / day     =  4.6 billion x 6.65kg. CO2 eq. =   30.59 billion

100gm reduction of meat /day/plate will lead to huge  emission reduction

20% of previous calculation = Reduction of 6.12 billion kg  CO2 eq. gases/day.

If we use less Meat then Livestock requirement will  be LESS
