Meat consumption and climate change
Dr Rajendra Pachauri, an economist and a vegetarian,
is chair of a scientific committee of United Nations on climate change and he
has discussed relationship of meat consumption with climate change. He says
"Give up meat for one day [per week] at least initially, and decrease it from
there".
I was surfing the internet to find a good topic to write a blog for
WP. I found a series of press releases about meat consumption and climate
change over the past few weeks/months. Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, an economist and a
vegetarian, is chair of a scientific committee of United Nations on climate
change and he has discussed relationship of meat consumption with climate
change. He says
"Give up meat for one day [per week] at least initially, and
decrease it from there".
I'd like to make it clear here that I
have no intention to get into issues of climate change in this blog but, is it
realistic to expect that a reduction in meat consumption influence factors
associated with climate change? Additionally, will a vegetarian dietary style
solve these problems? Developing or developed countries? Which ones are more
likely to change their dietary habits in this regard?
