Please see this latest article from the Washington Post called: 2012 hottest year on record in contiguous U.S., NOAA

Gratitude Gourmet was founded in May 2008 due to the fact that reducing meat consumption would significantly reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions. (18% Greenhouse Gases are from Animal Agriculture) 

Also a portion of this Washington Post article states:
"In the United States, a combination of high temperatures and dry conditions last year took a serious toll on the nation’s agricultural sector. NOAA’s Karl noted that the Midwest had been relatively wet for several years, which had curbed the impact of warmer temperatures.
In 2012, he said, “both the day and the nighttime temperatures were breaking their all-time records,” and that combined with drier conditions amounted to “a double whammy.”
The warmest March on record meant vegetation levels were 25 percent higher than normal that month, but many of those crops dried up because 39 percent of the United States experienced severe or extreme drought in 2012."

Many Gratitude Gourmet readers have already acted and continue to act beyond the call of duty.
