Should meat be 2.5 times as pricey to reflect costs to the climate?

German scientists say the prices we pay for meat and dairy products are too low as they fail to account for costs to society and the climate in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. The biggest polluter is conventionally-produced meat, they say, which should be nearly 2.5 times its current price. Next is conventionally-produced dairy, which the researchers say should nearly double in price. Organic meat should be around 70 per cent more expensive, they say, while the least polluting products they investigated are fruits and veggies, especially those produced organically, which would only increase in price by 6 per cent if greenhouse gas production was taken into account.
