Climate chief Lord Stern: give up meat to save the planet

Here is an interesting article on the subject. Like smoking getting out of
fashion, meat eating may also go the same way in the years to come. Lord
Stern, former chief economist of World Bank says:

People will need to consider turning vegetarian if the world is to conquer
climate change, according to a leading authority on global warming.

He predicted that peopleâs attitudes would evolve until meat eating became
unacceptable. âI think itâs important that people think about what they are
doing and that includes what they are eating,â he said. âI am 61 now and
attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed radically since I was a
student. People change their notion of what is responsible. They will
increasingly ask about the carbon content of their food.â
