I always feel a bit poorly thinking about this, it has never really sat well with me.
If the lab grown meat is close to the same quality or better, I'll be switching over 100% as long as it isn't prohibitively expensive. I think that as they get better at it, there will be interesting opportunities for certain cuts of meat that are tougher to get your hands on or even improved upon.
Honestly I can't wait for this revolution.

You do raise some good points, and I agree with the sentiment of your statement but I would like to educate you a little.
Most ( not all) animals are raised on pasture grass seasonally. This land, is 100% more biodiverse than any crop land ever, even the organic stuff. So with that in mind, animal farming gives people financial incentive to promote biodiversity on their land, the healthier the fix of veg, the healthier the sheep, goat, cow ect... This land, that people can make a living on, is also the home to a constellation of insects, and thus birds, and mammals.
Carbon is only a part of the equation.
