Coal is big enough to worry about it, especially in the developed countries (like the USA): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_consumption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_consumption (1) "In 2014, world energy consumption for electricity generation was coal 40.8%, natural gas 21.6%, nuclear 10.6%, hydro 16.4%, 'others' (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, etc.) 6.3% and oil 4.3%."

(2) "in the United States, fossil fuel-based energy is responsible for about 80% of total greenhouse gas emissions as compared to about 6% from animal agriculture (estimates from the World Resources Institute and Pitesky et al. 2009)." https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=77&t=11 https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=77&t=11 (3) "CO2 emissions from U.S. electric power sector by source, 2016" "Coal 68%, Natural gas 30%, Petroleum 1%, Other <1%" It is true, according to (2), beef is surely contributing more than other meat: "Eschel et al. 2014 estimated that producing beef requires 28 times more land, 6 times more fertilizer and 11 times more water than producing pork or chicken. As a result, the study estimated that producing beef releases 4 times more greenhouse gases than a calorie-equivalent amount of pork, and 5 times as much as an equivalent amount of poultry." and animal agriculture in total does have its 14 to 18 percent (2) of total human greenhouse gas emissions (you stated only the bigger number).
