COPENHAGEN SUMMIT
The 12 day exercise in Copenhagen led to clear divide rather than a consensus among nations on climate change. The drama went on with big and small nations trying to bind one another to emission cuts.
The summit was one of the best opportunities for leaders to bridge their differences but they wasted it, climate change will remain a serious issue till all nations unite. Awareness campaigns on global warming should be conducted in all countries so that people get to know the serious repercussions.
M.S Swaminathan had pointed out” every country should help itself” the developed nations should play a vital role by adhering to carbon emission cuts in due course. They should appeal to their citizens to change their lifestyle. The U.S has the greatest role to play in bringing about a change in the attitude of people.
How ever, it is certainly a good beginning. The rich nations, at least now, accept that there is a change in the climate and that it may adversely affect human life which is why it is imperative to limit carbon emissions
