Re: [bitsremembers] My writings

 

Bhow, you heard right. Life styles are a major contributor. If everyone had the lifestyle of an average American, we would need 4.4 earths to survive.

I recently saw a programme on BBC where they said that the bringing up of cattle to feed the world is also a major contributor to production of green-house gases, as much as automobiles. And they were promoting VEGETARIANISM. Then, the question raised was – whether there is enough land to grow grains / pulses and vegetables to feed all!

The answer was a clear – NO.

And then, they said that the answer lies in eating INSECTS. Yes, you are reading right. This was on BBCW. It was mentioned that the carbon foot print of 200 gms of meat was the same as 20 kgs of insects. There were some pictures of dishes containing ingredients derived from insects and they also showed someone eating a Locust.

 

FOOD for thought!!!

 

Warm regards,

I agree that global warming is the main cause. Chemical industry , oil explorations and many such issues are bothering us. In chemical and Polymer industry we are always stressing on carbon footprint on all materials etc. Many alternate energy materials including shale gas, hydrogen cell energy , biomass, solar energy , energy conservation are being implemented and studied in depth by chemical society . My daughter Shwetha a fellow chem engineer is working hard at Exxon with many engineers all around. Regards, Ram

Ramkumar, Global warming as the name suggests is a global problem.  So Chennai alone or for that matter India alone cannot do much about it alone.  Please see my paragraph on the tragedy of the commons in the article.  Global commons are shared by every species and the carbon space in the global commons is limited and largely usurped by the rich nations and now China.

 

If there is interest, would be happy to give a talk as and when we meet.

Dear All

 

As some of you know, I write regularly on Energy and Climate Change. Do about 15-18 pieces a year. I have never posted my writings on the group site.  I am taking the liberty of posting my last of the three pieces on the recent Climate Negotiations in Paris because it is something that should interest everyone.  We are rapidly going down the hill to catastrophic climate events perhaps within our lifetimes.

 

My original banner was:"Paris Climate Accord -- The Ultimate Cirque du Soleil which the editor changed to Ten Inconvenient Truths About The Paris Climate Accord.

 

Other than this there were no other changes to the original. 

 

Your Critical comments are most welcome.
