I hate climate alarmism as much as the next guy, but this argument is poor. It doesn't help our side except making us look ignorant.
In general the carbon cycle would keep CO2 levels stable. Most CO2 the plants "breathed" is released back into the atmosphere when they die. Food would be CO2 neutral, except fertilizer manufacturing releases extra CO2. Therefore meat results in a lot of CO2 emission.
I have no doubt that this is a way to pay lab meat cronies/pump up their stock prices with a fat military contract. There are better ways to reduce CO2 than lab meat.
If we reduce CO2, what will the plants breathe?

Plus, if they can normalize lab meat then it's easier to just get more and more people to eat whatever chemical slop they're calling "lab meat"
