I wouldn't say that to buy a Prius is a duty! The only thing is to keep in mind to live more resbonsibly. You are right on gore, but he exaggerates totally, so people just do not believe him. “I have done my duty and bought a Prius.” ^^ lol, this reminds me such much of the south park episode I saw yesterday.

He is also a big proponent of exempting all the "suffering, developing world - particularly India - from joining Kyoto. While of course lecturing advanced nations that it is their moral duty and - surprise! - they need to stop killing the Earth with their bad, bad, CO2 spewing meat consumption! As another commentor alluded to, the more steaks, the less global climate changing cow farts there are. Dr. Rajendra Pachauri is a Hindu who has condemned meat-eating as unhealthy in other venues.

From the article - However, he also stressed other changes in lifestyle would help to combat climate change. 'That's what I want to emphasise: we really have to bring about reductions in every sector of the economy.' So why doesn't he move back to India and insist that India live like it was 1960??? Yeah,like THAT would work out so well... OK…So why doesn’t this fellow put his $$ where his mouth is??

But it is true that meat oconsumption in the developed world strains the environment in global food production in a lot of ways. Since I've been learning about that, I've been trying to eat less meat. Not no meat, but less meat. And if everyone in America ate, say 20% less meat than they do now, these strains would be eased more than a bit. And people would be healthier. And still enjoying a lot of meat. The point being, it's not a zero-sum game. You can have your meat and eat it too, so to speak. And I do think it's worth learning about meat production and its impact on global hunger and environment issues, even though there is so much self-righteousness floating around the environmentalist lobby.

I don't really like trafficking in stereotypes, but is it at least possible that Dr. Pachauri is of the Hindu persuasion? If so, perhaps it would be appropriate to ask him about the effects of reducing the bovine population of India on the climate..

I take direction poorly from pompous authorities. Roger, glad you are taking steps to lower your monetary expenses. We have lived with cool houses in the winter and warm homes in the summer forever.
