I wouldn't listen to this guy on climate/vegan issues, he has a history of making up bullshit.

Meat from dead animals is already incredibly environmentally unfriendly.

Just eat plants.

Also, why is lab made meat more barf inducing than real living animals being abused and killed for profit/taste?

I agree with everything you said, and I want to add;

As long as lab grown meat is approved for consumption, the methods of producing it can be made more and more environmentally friendly. It's a matter of regulation+development.

The "incredibly environmentally unfriendly" bit, as I understand it, is just related to the amount of energy needed to power the labs growing the meat. It assumes this energy is being generated from non-renewable sources, which makes this a very solvable problem.
