People should consider eating less meat as a way of combating global warming, says the UN's top climate scientist.

Rajendra Pachauri, who chairs the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), will make the call at a speech in London on Monday evening.

Start by striking meat from the UN headquarters menu.

[Former Proud Canadian]

You took the words out of my mouth.

[robomatik]

meat...yummy!

[yazoo]

This from a vegetarian. How about the methane produced by vegetarians?

[mort56]

Strike meat from the UN menus? What? Are you crazy? Don’t you know the UN is the headquarters for the DAISNAID* crowd?

(* Do as I say not as I do)

[robomatik]

p.s. r.i.p. mrs. keller

"where's the beef?"

[Krankor]

Rajendra just doesn’t want you to eat his uncle the cow.

[Ladysmith]

Nice going. My mouth is just watering!

[orlop9]

What an idiot, I think it was Carlos Mencia who, regarding global warming said,”I’m eating the problem (meat), he’s eating the solution (plants).

[Menehune56]

I’d rather shun the UN.

[Jedidah]

Is this guy Hindu? Clever way to force his weird beliefs on the world.

So am I supposed to be surprised that a Hindu thinks people shouldn’t eat meat? Exactly where is the science here? Oh I forgot. We’re in anthropogenic global warming fantasy land where anything that supports the socialist moonbat gay anti-Christian agenda is taken as fact.

As Apu says to Homer Simpson; “Please do not offer my god a peanut.”

[mountaineer1997]

I haven’t eaten meat in 40 years.

Better health for me and the planet.

Less suffering.

Yes, I support and contribute to McCain/Palin....

They will need voters like me to win over Hussein.

[NoGrayZone]

I will NEVER give up my beef! Mooooooooo.........

"I'm not in favour of mandating things like this, but if there were a (global) price on carbon perhaps the price of meat would go up and people would eat less," he said.

A global price on carbon? WTH ? This guy is a friggen loon.

Btw, I like my steaks with a bit of carbon on them.

There’s a huge billboard on I-95 in southern Connecticut that say something like: “Go Vegetarian...it will solve 80% of Global Warming.” Not too far from that billboard is a billboard for “Super Duper Weenie” at the next exit. ;o)

[dinasour]

If you eat just one vegetarian a day, you greatly reduce your future risk of being bothered by idiots.

[doodad]

No, says Doodad and family.

[Pravious]

UN = FU.
