Tackling the climate crisis could be as simple as eating less meat and not flying so often, according to the Government’s chief scientific adviser.
Sir Patrick Vallance said the planet cannot rely on a ‘magic’ technology to solve the climate crisis.
He made the comments as he joined international scientists urging leaders to limit global warming to 1.5C.
Sir Patrick said he wants green choices to be the ‘easy choice’ because they are convenient and affordable, but said people can make a difference at an ‘individual level’.
He said: ‘A little bit of reduction in the amount of meat you eat, deciding not to fly as often.
‘Those things individually, of course, are trivial impacts at the individual level, but they are huge when you aggregate them across millions and millions and millions of people.
