Since it isn’t mentioned in the article, here is the reference: paper (2014)
In the study it even shows how driving a 10 years car for 6000 miles is rougly two years of saved emission with a meat->vegan switch.
I don’t know, changing dietary is obviously good for the health, but these results seems to make pretty useless changes, use the bike and save twice as much.
EDIT: There is a new paper (2023), it is in a reply.
I calculated at one point that if you ride a bike instead of a car but replenish the calories with pure beef, it is better to ride the car. So diet matters.

You can do both
The first line in the article says a “new study.” So are you sure it’s not this paper? Also, have to say the paper title is kind of a duh moment.
Thanks I didn’t find the new one!

I don’t drive so maybe I just don’t have context but 6,000 miles seems like A LOT.
On a quick search, it seems that ~10000 is the average miles per year.
From the way you worded it, it sounds like not eating meat is five times as effective than not driving in the same time period.
Though we can always do both to any degree we can.
Sorry for the botchered English, it’s not my first language, as you may have guessed.
