    LONDON: People should cut their consumption of meat to help combat climate change, according to Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

    He told the British newspaper The Observer that people should start by having one meat-free day a week then cut back further.

    The 68-year-old, who is a vegetarian, said diet change was important in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and environmental problems associated with rearing animals.
    “Give up meat for one day [a week] initially, and decrease it from there,” he said.

    “In terms of immediacy of action and the feasibility of bringing about reductions in a short period of time, it clearly is the most attractive opportunity.”

    Pachauri heads the IPCC that won the 2007 Peace Nobel along with former US vice president Al Gore.

            Though he is from my School, he seems to have lost his balance after the Nobel Prize!

                Cows do fart and produce plenty methane. Result is Global warming. Breeding animals for meat alone is extremely energy intensive. I tried meat a few times, it was'nt one bit tasty to me. I mean there's so much variety in Vegetarian cooking not just some bland carrots, potato and lettuce on one's plates.

                  Do you squat when you go? The vegetarian lifestyle is freakishly at odds with what it means to be an American or a man.

                  Vegetables are crap that gets in the way of meat.

                  I think we should reduce the population by eating the poor, would cut into global warming because they would not produce methane, plus god willing (swt) they would taste good. Get meat, deal with the poor and solve global warming - give me my damn emmy/nobel peace prize.

                  I have the money to eat meat three times a day, issue settled - the market has spoken.

                  If we need more energy, Iran is next door to Iraq.

                  Why do people like you hate nomadic herders so much ?

                      A Naga banquet includes the main course of Dogs! Prefereably a Black Dog. That is why many Army officers when posted to Nagaland, suddenly become ardent vegetarians and leave their dogs at the home Station when going on posting! :))

                      I think Pachuri's statement is more in line of being outrageous and thus fashionable and chic like our dear old Arundhuti Roy, who is the Goddess of All Causes and a Pain without Pauses!! ;)

                          then it might make him more of a pain in the A.

                          Well he can only try so many combinations of bamboo shoot , i think with time he will learn to enjoy the reason for non veg food.

                          I remember my friends from that place, they used to say if its alive we kill it and consume, must be difficult to find any stray animals (the naga boys used to make some very nice pork though).

                          Pachuri ji is at the extreme end of the pole sir, asking him about global warming is like asking a barber for a haircut, that is another problem, the media is always interested in people with extreme views from opposite.

                            I like how the global warming crowd are the same save the polar bear ******** - so to save the environment we have to slaughter billions of goats, sheep, ducks, turkeys, chickens and cows in one go? Would we still off the polar bears to prevent them from farting? Maybe it is their fault and they are reaping what they are sowing in the north with the ice caps.

                              I believe even human being emit methane when they break wind.

                              I know that even vegetarians are not free from indulging in such comforting releases!

                              Kill them all! ;)

                              I am not aware if fish break wind. Even if they do, it is absorbed within the water.

                              Thus, fish alone should inherit the Earth!
