Bill Gates has urged rich nations to move to "100% synthetic beef" in order to address the greenhouse gas emissions driving global climate change.
In his new book, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, the billionaire philanthropist stresses that while it remains possible for humanity to avert the disaster through technological achievements, government policy will ultimately be needed.
Meanwhile real life rolls in -
Authorities across the US are on alert as a winter storm brings freezing winds, ice and snow to many areas that rarely see such frigid conditions.
In Texas, a surge in demand for electricity has led to widespread power cuts. The state is bracing for another icy storm later on Tuesday.
The National Weather Service (NWS) said more than 150 million Americans were now under winter storm warnings.

Texas is cattle country, so if it gets much colder the cows will all die and we'll have to have synthetic beef. And even that will be frozen.
Sam - and synthetic milk perhaps.
Bill Gates, not content with inflicting DOS and Windows on the world…
djc - yes, it looks very much like megalomania.
