HIndu Cremation practice adds to Global warming
Heard this on the Chicago Public radio,(9-Jun-2007) it had an interview with an Indian named Anshul Garg. He was methodically explaining how to improve combustion efficiency. Wonder how much of a cultural resistance would be there, I guess very much. Its a touchy subject. I myself hated it when this topic was raised by a foreigner (American) in a foreign radio show like www.ChicagoPublicRadio.org , but later came to accept it

Yes it is true that every type of burning adds to global warming , however, infinitesmial it may be.But burning a dead body accelerates the de-composition of the body and main burning materials used are dry wood and dry dung( cow shit)( both are renewable resources). What our friends are doing? burning fossil fuels. I think the person who told this in the radio should read the statistics of polluting countries. One should be aware of the face that who is hindering climate talks.
hmm... and the alternative of burying has found to add its own problems of space. Maybe should consider the Parsi method of feeding the body to the vultures!
