There are plenty of research papers and links in the net showing that a vegetarian diet is an effective means to mitigate the effects of global warming.

Last month May has been described as the hottest May in 136 years of global records ;and the first five months of 2015 have been recorded as the hottest so far, on track to beat last year's record.
Until we can create new energy resources which does not pollute the atmosphere, such measures such as increasing vegetarian content in diet can help to reduce the pace of global warming, which otherwise can have serious consequences in many sectors including that of food production.
