Your graphic uses the same larger type of metric of greenhouse gases as does the Nature article. If you click on the greenhouse gas equivalents bit in the header where the figure came from, it makes that clear:
Carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas, but not the only one. To capture all greenhouse gas emissions, researchers express them in “carbon dioxide equivalents” (CO₂eq). This takes all greenhouse gases into account, not just CO₂.
You’re not wrong about meat not comprising two-thirds of any person’s total GHG emissions, and I’ve never suggested otherwise. I just wanted to provide a better source of information than that graphic.
It’s a Nature article; there’s no better source for information. Not sure where you’re getting the 2/3s idea or meat idea from that article–it does not use such language.
That graph is wrong/misleading:

this article relies on poore-nemecek 2018, and should not be considered reliable itself
No? They merely state that their results are consistent with one of Poore and Nemecek’s findings. The methods, article scope, and more differ.
I’m not going to defend the article further. If you all want to believe a website over a scientific publication, feel free.
oh? can you link a version that isn’t pay walled?
what website?

I know how to: .71 * 18 = 12.78 Gt, which is more than double what your graph ascribes to agriculture.
Also, there’s no need to be rude, even if I had been wrong.

the article is poorly methodized, and should not be considered reliable
