Meaning in terms of actual nutrition vs pollution, cow milk is over twice as effective.
Calculation= cal in alm milk/cal in alm milk : cal in cow milk / 2 × cal in alm milk. (2 in this equation stands for the rate of pollution multiplicity sourced from the title of this post, twice as much gasses).
You wind up with 1 : 2.07
Why count calories? Are we calorie-starved? Last time I checked the problem in most of the developed world was the opposite, excess calories.
Because you measure energy of food in calories, and we are comparing produced value of good over pollution. Why would you not?
Its also bad science.
A gallon of Almond milk is 580 calories.
A gallon of cow milk is 2,400 calories.

Look at that, compared by calories, animals products still lose: https://ourworldindata.org/environmental-impacts-of-food#explore-data-on-the-environmental-impacts-of-food
