If you click the second link there will be two large pie charts on your screen.
The first shows total US greenhouse gas emissions by sector, in which Transportation is 29% and Agriculture is 9%
The second shows a breakdown of Transportation by vehicle type. The largest part of which, at 59%, is "light duty vehicles", which is the term for everything from a moped to a pickup truck.
59% of 29% is about 17%, vs agriculture's 9%. Making cars roughly twice as "bad" as farming from a greenhouse gas perspective.
