Here is a link to the actual study.

It's not terribly easy to understand (and it's been awhile since I

read the entire paper). Figure 3 appears to be saying that going from

being a typical meat-eater to being vegan (saving 1.49 tons of CO2

equivalents) is better than going from a Camry to a Prius (saving

1.05), but not as good as going from an SUV to a Camry (saving 2.52

tons) or from an SUV to a Prius (saving 3.57 tons).
