Climate Change Summit
Now the whole world is much concerned about global warming and is focused on Climate Change Summit at Copenhagen. Nature never tolerates excesses and we have been perpetrating it ruthlessly for generations oblivious of its consequences. Now danger is knocking at our door and we’ve awakened to reality. Knee jerk movement has started. Nations, big and small, rich and poor, developed and developing are all rushing to Danish capital with anxieties writ large on their faces. The main objective is how to contain green house gases in atmosphere to stall rise in global temperature. Global warming has already started taking toll and if it can not be reined in drought and deluge in unprecedented scale will strike the humanity. In fact, now is the time not control the damage already done but to resist further damage. So immediately all countries should come to consensus that they would take effective measures to diminish emission of carbon .Admittedly, developed countries are responsible for three-fourths of already accumulated emitted carbon in atmosphere and an embargo on carbon emission would adversely affect economic growth of developing countries. Developed nations might reduce emission by harnessing improved technology which developing countries can not afford. So developed nations should come forward to help their developing counter parts financially to ensure they could use advanced devices to curb carbon emission without compromising their economic growth. Problem should be sorted out by mutual consent and co-operation without wasting time delving into blame game.Mind,it has been already late and we should have seriously considered the problem much earlier. We fervently hope this Copenhagen Summit must show a way out to save our planet from the great disaster staring us in the face.

People anxious about the disastrous consequences of the unrestrained devastation of nature, have been compaining relentlessly to mobilise the masses in all the countries. The first fruitful outcome was the signing of Kyoto protocal by almost all countries where programmes were chalked out to avert the impending catastrophe. But most of the developed counrties in one pretext or other tried to subvert the attempt. The main culprit USA refused to sign the Kyoto protocol and did everything to sabotage the move.Now the new administration in USA is participating in Copenhagen. But though that country is itself responsible for about 36& of total emission of green house gases, it declared 17& cut. Now it is pressurising India and others to shre their misdeeds. From all indication it appears that PM of India is very eager to please the USA rather than safeguarding the interests of our country and the World at large.Let's hope sanity will prevail and the assembled heads of states will shouw the light of progress and bright future.
