Do you bother to do any research before posting?
"The carbon footprint of the latest Impossible Burger recipe is 89% smaller than a burger made from real beef"
...
"The assessment was verified by the Swiss sustainability consulting group Quantis"
...
"Beyond Burger produced 90% fewer GHG emissions, needed 46% less non-renewable energy, had more than 99% less impact on water scarcity and 93% less on land use than a one-quarter pound of beef."
...
"Quantifying plant-based sustainability claims could provide marketing and financial advantages for companies such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat — along with other competitors in the space, such as Nestlé's Garden Gourmet Incredible Burger and the Lightlife Burger. Savvy consumers are likely to want to support manufacturers and products focused on improving the food system in ways that can help feed the planet and also preserve it."

One of the reasons why people want vegetarian and vegan options is to lower carbon emissions and help the planet. If it came out that these options were worse for the planet they would instantly become unpopular with their target market. They are doing everything they can to appeal to that market.
