The whole point of Schwarzenegger's advice this is that, while you like meat and find it insulting to have someone else's views imposed on you, for many purposes you are the one imposing his own view onto others by eating meat, since that means keeping alive the industry that contributes to 20% or 25% of all carbon emissions in the world. Others may not like that, and will try to convince you and other meat-eaters like myself to stop or reduce meat consumption.

NIT: not carbon, but greenhouse gases. Specifically methane, which is 30x more potent a greenhouse gas.

(Note, I realize that methane contains a carbon, I'm just clarifying that many people thing CO2 when the word carbon is used.)
