The problem is that all tigers want steak, but only a fourth of them can afford it. That number is increasing as the tigers get richer in general. And the steak industry is ruining the world.

The price of steak will go up until demand equals supply.
(And there will be plenty of incentives to come up with cheaper steaks or steak alternatives.)
That's the thing though, this price is going up but is artifically lower than alternatives because external costs (e.g. greenhouse gasses emitted or water used) are not factored in the cost.
