Belgium: Paul McCartney and Dr Pachauri in EU parliament for climate change hearing:

Less Meat = Less Heat

3 December 2009

This morning, the vegetarians Paul McCartney and Dr Pachauri spoke at a hearing on climate change.

Sir Paul recommended the introduction of a meatless day per week to help cut CO2 emissions.

It was evident that the advice to go vegetarian, or at least reduce meat consumption, made the representatives of the meat industry and some politicians quite hot under their collars.

The comparison of tobacco and meat may have frustrated them even further.

But the times, they are changing....
