Stop eating meat to halt climate change

Some British hack, who goes by the name of Lord Stern, wants the Copenhagen treaty to significantly increase the price of meat in order to discourage people from eating it. Lord Stern argues that the production of meat greatly contributes to the fallacy of climate change.

Not only is this guy a hack but he's a hypocrite as well. As he's dictating to us that we shouldn't eat meat and should switch to a vegetarian diet he himself isn't a vegetarian.

I'm having steak tonight.

From Telegraph

Lord Stern, a former chief economist of the World Bank, believes that the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December should call for an increase in the price of meat and other foods that contribute to climate change.

In an interview with The Times, he 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 added: “I think it’s important that people think about what they are doing and that includes what they are eating.
