I’ve read in an Article that meat production causes a lot of co² emission. Now I was wondering if we stopped eating meat completely, would that be sufficient to get under the threshhold of emissions what the planet can process? What is that threshold? Where are we now? How much does meat add to this?

I was answering OPs question, specifically:
Would that (alone) be sufficient? absolutely not. I never claimed it couldn’t contribute towards greenhouse gas reduction.

I did not call OP a moron, I did not call anyone (specific) names. I expect the same courtesy.
I did not say anywhere that stopping to eat meat (which is only half the problem, milk is another big one, etc.) would stop climate change. In fact, I highlighted that stoppong all carbon emissions is important.
The individual decision to eat meat or not to is, as you correctly point out, more or less in vain. The important thing is, that a societal change needs to happen. Which is what my whole rant was about. Any (individuals) one action is not enough. The industrialization of it needs to stop.
For the record, I am not vegan, i eat meat, drink milk and eat eggs. At least call me a hypocritical asshole.
Bravo, you’re right in all that you say. I’m sorry if I came on to strong bredrin.
meat consumption doesn’t emit co2 though
Sure it does. You use muscles to move the piece of meat from the plate to your mouth, to chew it, to digest it. That all uses CO2.
Well, actually, it uses ATP, which has to be regenerated using cellular respiration, which emits CO2.
Are you happy with that explanation and sidetrack that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand?
you think human breathing is a significant source of co2 emissions, and should be mitigated? how would changing the food being chewed change the emissions of breathing?
