Greenhouse gas emissions have to be sharply and rapidly cut, but some emissions are easier to cut than others, and some are going to persist for a long time. These are the basic facts behind the "net" of "net zero" - the mantra that has come to define the green energy transition. Electric cars are here, and electric rail and trucks are coming along, but electric airplanes and electric shipping aren't happening anytime soon. Electrified steel mini-mills that use recycled material are a reality; electrified cement and petrochemical plants, definitely not. And given the need to feed the still-increasing human population, it's almost impossible to imagine how potent methane and nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture can be much reduced within the few decades we have to kick the fossil fuel habit.
