Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been asked to discuss greenhouse gas emissions caused by meat processing with U.S. President Barack Obama. This request came from PETA.

PETA activists braved the rain and Delhi winter as they stood painted in colours of national flags of the two countries and held placards urging people to go vegan in order to combat climate change on Thursday.
Organiser, Puneet Sharma, said meat production and processing is responsible for the emission of a major chunk of greenhouse gases.
"American President Obama will soon be in India and will be holding detailed conversations on climate change with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A lot of studies show that maximum emission of greenhouse gases occurs during the production of meat and dairy products. Our message through this demonstration is that when Modi and Obama meet they also discuss the reduction of meat and dairy production," said Sharma.
The United States and India are expected to announce efforts to work together to combat climate change ahead of key global talks in Paris later this year.
India, the world's third largest carbon emitter, is reluctant to follow the United States and China in committing to a peak year for emissions on the grounds it needs economic growth to alleviate poverty.
