Are you talking about the “why eating meat won’t save the planet” video? If so, that video is horribly misleading at best or complete disinformation at worst. Here’s a video looking at it in depth
For an idea, one of the studies they use to claim that it wouldn’t reduce emissions much assumes that if we switch to plant-based diets we’d still produce 100% of the animal feed we do and be eating over 4700 kcal/day for some reason. Despite that insane assumption, it still finds a reduction of global emissions which really says a lot about just how inefficient the industry is. Further, this study has a number of responses from other scientists basically saying “wtf” (but academic and detailed) which is not something you typically see for the vast majority of studies
