Estimated 80% of the GHG emissions in deforestation to be caused by animal ag.
It's important to understand the claims your making if you're going to state that animal again is not a significant portion of that 24%. As much as it seems like you'd like to deny, animal agriculture is a substatial driver of man made climate change.

> Greenhouse gas emissions from this sector come mostly from agriculture (cultivation of crops and livestock) and deforestation. This estimate does not include the CO2 that ecosystems remove from the atmosphere by sequestering carbon in biomass, dead organic matter, and soils, which offset approximately 20% of emissions from this sector.
Not only the number includes crop agriculture, but also deforestation is caused by quite a large number of factors.
