hmm, I didn't have any issue finding studies that compare the two; here's one:

Very much cherry picking data points here: nitrous oxide has a higher impact by volume, but the output is infinitesimal compared to CO² and other harmful substances involved in the extraction, processing and combustion of fossil to the point that it's still a TINY problem in comparison.
As for this part
That's just a flat out lie.

The problem I see here is that it measures greenhouse gas emissions, but not "net greenhouse gas emissions", which is much more important.
For example, "crop burning" contributes to the CO2 emissions short-term, but not long-term. Still they list it as "3.5%" of emissions.
