Meat isn't the problem, endless growth is.
Hans Rosling’s talks (on TED and YouTube) throw a lot of light on the peak population we’d likely reach, the reasons for those and also what we can do to control it (the key is educating girls). He died some months ago, but his talks and work are engaging and illuminating.
1. China 58.2 kg/person and year
2. India 4.4 kg/person and year
3. USA 120.2 kg/person and year
There are very big differences that have more to do with culture and income rather than growth.

China with 4 times the number of people now produces twice as much as the US. China’s CO2 surged in the past two decades.
Finally, does this have anything to do with meat?

And yes, some 15% of humans' GHG production can be attributed to meat.
“CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels are the primary cause of global warming”
China uses almost much coal as the rest of the world combined:

(I hardly eat meat these days, but nothing will help if the population continues to grow at the same rate)
