UN says eat less meat

On 7th September, 'The Guardian' published a report on the comments made by Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which last year earned a joint share of the Nobel Peace Prize; he said that people should reduce their meat consumption to tackle global warming. He said that diet change is important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions and the many other environmental problems - including habitat destruction - caused by the rearing of cattle and other livestock animals.
The report is now posted online and can be read at
