UN says less meat an approach for global warming

I knew it was only a matter of time when the meat industry would hear the knock from the global warming man. This has been something I have pointed out for awhile.

Animal welfare groups are calling for governments to lead campaigns to reduce meat consumption by 60 per cent by 2020.
