Less meat = less climate costs

I keep pointing it out, but the evidence seems to be surfacing thick and fast. Come on people, get on board. Eating less meat could cut climate costs - environment - 10 February 2009 - New Scientist: "reducing our intake of beef and pork would lead to the creation of a huge new carbon sink, as vegetation would thrive on unused farmland. The model takes into account farmland that is used to grow extra food to make up for the lost meat, but that requires less area, so some will be abandoned. Millions of tonnes of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, would also be saved every year due to reduced emissions from farms."
