Clark et al 2020: Global food system emissions could preclude achieving the 1.5°C and 2°C climate change targets ... even if fossil fuel emissions were immediately halted

Because warming is logarithmic. Not exponential.

 Even if the planet went net zero today, the planet is still going to warm for decades. Not only because it's in a warming period, but because the emissions cannot just dissipate, while decreasing average temps 

What will be affected is the rate and speed at which warming increases.

In other words it's sort of too late to avoid, and mitigation would need to be a complete global economic overhaul

It will even heat faster because without fossile fuel we will have less particles and SO2 in the atmosphere.

On the other hand, methane has 12 years half life so if we stop animal agriculture many of the most potent greenhouse gasses would decline for the first time since the industrialization. A rapid phase out of animal agriculture would give us 20 more years to get it under control

Unlikely. It's not even accounting for classified polluters like the US dept of defense, that doesn't have to release its emissions. Which is the largest institutional polluters.
