Are you comparing that to a time that everyone stopped eating beef

like the mid-90's mad cow scare?

the graphic you posted comes from this article, which shows it is based on poore-nemecek 2018. i've detailed teh problems with this study in another top-level comment here, but, basically, it's not good science. i feel you're spreading misinformation.

Were those individuals that would have eaten beef chose to eat beef for those future meals, then demand would be even higher with even higher climate impacts.

first, you can't prove a counterfactual. second there's no reason to believe that meat production could grow any faster.

And for those people that eat fewer beef meals that does help.

there's no reason to believe that. production grows every year, year-over-year.
