R.K. Pachauri, chairman of the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that shared the Nobel Peace Prize last year, said climate change was a reflection of the fact that we have not been able to grow and develop sustainably.Note that you produce CO2 "pollution" when you breathe.
'I would like suggest to our policy makers please think of all actions and forms of consumption that impose a load on society and pollute it and tax them. This includes our road space. The pollutants must pay for defiling the environment,' he said.
The immediate benefits of consumptive lifestyle are leading us to a direction that can cause problems, Pachauri added.
