People will need to consider turning vegetarian if the world is to conquer climate change, according to a leading authority on global warming.
In an interview with The Times, Lord Stern of Brentford said: “Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better.”

He predicted that people’s attitudes would evolve until meat eating became unacceptable. “I think it’s important that people think about what they are doing and that includes what they are eating,” he said. “I 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.”

...reminded me of an old Stallone movie called "Demolition Man", where his character wakes up in a world where anything that might be bad for you is banned (including meat).
His prediction is wrong, by the way, and his analogy of drunk driving couldn't be more off-base. Drunk driving has an immediately visible, dangerous effect. Eating meat ... mmmmmmmm ....
Steaks at my house. Who's in?
