Nobel-Winning IPCC Chair Rajendra Pachauri Urges Obama to "Listen to Science" on Global Warming
This is a very informative and thoughtful man, and a very good interview to watch. Amy Goodman is nearly always spot-on, as an interviewer, or interviewee. HUGE Amy Goodman fan.
Also love Pachauri's take, 'off the record' as chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, on why he's a vegetarian. He hits on the clearing of forests for pasture land, pounds of food input into the cow for one pound of meat output, and the need for refrigeration and transportation - all relying on carbon-fueled energy sources - all through the chain to bring the meat to the consumer. Compare to your local, delicious Farmer's Market fare. Not to say never eat meat, necessarily, but be conscious of this process. Seek out some local, grass-fed, fresh beef, when needed for example. And deeply enjoy local and fresh cuisine whenever possible, etc.
