vegetarian or eschew red meat choose their diet on the grounds of ethics (intensive farming, animal welfare) or health (high blood pressure, cholesterol). Those in the ethical camp are often passionate about green issues, but a non-meat diet as a way to combat climate change has only recently been suggested. A UN report, Livestock's Long Shadow, argued that beef and dairy farming globally create more climate-changing gases (18 per cent) than the world's transport system (13 per cent). Although

But all agree that the problem is a serious threat to growth in the advanced economies and that its measurable size is misleading anyway, because so much of it goes unreported.

The polar vortex is nothing new. On the contrary, it's thought that the term first appeared in an 1853 issue of E. Littell's Living Age.
