A cultured solution to climate change

Given the resources needed to provide meat in the journal way, and the rapid expansion in demand as vast developing populists acquire a taste for it, researching a lab grown replacement is perhaps an important option in dealing with climate change :

" Inspired by the "numbers, not adjectives" principle, my colleagues and I assessed the environmental impacts of cultured meat production and have published our findings in a peer-review journal. The results showed that cultured meat has 80-95% lower greenhouse gas emissions, 99% lower land use and 80-90% lower water use compared to conventionally produced meat in Europe." :

More needed, less planned...sounds familiar...

Given how much "the can" has been kicked down the road in the euro crisis, despite its immediate and palpable danger, hardly surprising that the climate can is also getting a good kicking, since even though more threatening (the warnings from the scientific community are ever more worrying, especially regarding the closing "window of opportunity" to make any impact), less tangible.

It seems that in world affairs, as in crime, humans are deterred not by the magnitude of the penalty, but how real they feel the danger of getting caught is, and climate change is too unreal in day to day life, yet....
