Would going vegetarian help combat climate change?

One suggestion to combat climate change is that we should become vegetarians as livestock is more environmentally damaging than growing crops.

However, if we stopped eating meat, livestock would still live, so is the suggestion correct? Or are we expected to cull any remaining pigs and cows?

i don't think we'd be culling pigs and cows. i think the expectation would be that populations of farmed animals would naturally decrease over time due to natural attrition, and comercial breeding would cease.
