That simply isn't true. Doesn't matter how lush the vegetation is in this "super climate," a carnivore must eat meat to live. Certain nutritional elements are only present in animal products. In humans, for example, the vitamin B12 that prevents pernicious anemia is only available from eating animal products (unless you happen to have enough cobalt in your diet such that the bacteria in your gut can synthesize it for you).
Do not confuse the fact that a carnivore may put vegetable material into its mouth with the idea that it could live as a vegetarian.
