Climate change Authorities endorses Veg Solution to curb Global Warming

Hi Eco-friendly friends,

Recently, more Authorities on Climate change has given voice to the less-meat / More Veg Solution to curb climate change.

In Oct, Lord Stern, a former chief economist of the World Bank& author of the 2006 Stern Review, has requested the world to go veg to curb climate change.

Lord Stern, believes that the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December should call for an increase in the price of meat and other foods that contribute to climate change.

In an interview with "The Times", he said: “Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better.”

A World Watch Institute Nov 2009 Report, written by researchers from World Bank Group, stated that the revised figure for Livestock's contribution to Global Green House Gas is at least 51%. [Up from the 18% quoted in the UN 2006 Livestock's long shadow Report.]

In Nov 09, Mr Al Gore, Environmental Advocate and 2007 Nobel peace prize winner also
acknowledge that the less-meat/ more veg diet helps in the current climate situation.

In an interview with ABC News, when Ms. Sales asked if he agreed with British climate expert Lord Nicholas Stern’s call for people to be vegetarian to reduce emissions, Mr. Gore replied, “It’s a legitimate point of view. Nick Stern is a very able advocate for whom I have enormous respect… I have cut back sharply on the meat that I eat and it’s absolutely correct that the growing meat intensity of diets around the world is one of the issues connected to this global crisis. Not only because of the CO2 involved, but also because
of the water consumed in the process.” The former vice president went on to say, “You can add in the health consequences as well. We’ve all heard from our doctors for many years that vegetables and fruits should occupy a bigger part of all of our diets, and that’s important for a lot of reasons. I’ve made those changes.”

more plant-based food] to curb global warming,
