New Delhi, July 8: Nobel Prize winning Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) chief Dr R.K. Pachauri says Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), which has been reluctant in accepting IPCC's predictions on climate change, has unsatisfactory state of affairs. Dr Pachauri is one of the members of Prime Minister's council on climate change which has drafted the recently released India's National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). When asked why NAPCC document differs from IPCC's prediction on link between documented changes and warming due to anthropogenic climate change, Dr Pachauri said "state of affairs in the Met Department are less than satisfactory." He said for any prediction on global warming, its effect on a larger area is taken into consideration. Asking some of the developed nations to rethink their food-to-fuel policies, Dr Pachauri raised concerns that conversion of food grains into bio-fuels is worsening the food situation. He said instead of biofuels, countries should spend in the R&D of renewable energy sources. As per the NAPCC, the country will be witnessing eight national missions including that on solar energy, water and enhanced energy efficiency. Asking individuals, government agencies, NGOs and academia to work together to counteract the effects of global warming, the IPCC chairman said millions of Indian do not have access to electricity and at this point India cannot be asked to "stop developing" by imposing mandatory emission cuts. He said countries like US and Canada should accept their responsibilities and show leadership in reducing green house gases like carbon dioxide and methane. Dr Pachauri said instead of mandatory caps, developed countries must accept Bali Action Plan on climate change that talks about "deep cuts" in the gas emissions and also help developing countries to reduce emission through adoption of advanced technologies.
