As diplomats from all over the world come together at the recent UN Climate change conference in Bali to gear up on a course of growing concern, this has cause an uproll of controversial issues.
The aim of this conference is to reinforce policies to all countries to make sure the curb of emission of greenhouse gasses is minimized and to hit the expected target of 20~40% as to emissions in 1990 by 2015 to prevent catastrophic disasters to the climate. However with the continuation of urbanization in all parts of the world today.
I feel it is hardly possible to fight the stresses of development with the reduction of CO2 emissions together unless there is a compromise. CO2 the major player of greenhouse gasses has seen a surge of 31% of emissions as compared to last year.Many countries have been pin pointing fingers to each other as to who should reduce development. Whilst developed countries are accusing developing countries that they are doing more damage by emitting more carbon dioxide, developing counties are blaming the developed counties that their damage is greater cause they are at a faster rate of development.
However I feel that at this stage instead of pushing the blame, all countries must face the fact that no matter what face of development they are in, all must help each other out in keeping the risks low as we are all living on this planet together. I feel that developed countries and developing countries both have a part to play in at least maintaining emission levels. On this note, I hope that more corporation is being fostered and perhaps a talent pool of scientist and innovators can come together to invent more sustainable energy sources that are able to be developed quickly to ease this issue.
I think we people should also start our own part for saving the earth before waiting for the gov to have their actions taken, because the earth is also ours, not the gov. Do our part like recycling plastics, papers into the recycling bin. Save the earth!
Yes! I agree totally with you Su Ping! We have to step up and take action or else we would have to face the disastrous consequences..We should always remind each other about switching off gadgets that are not used so on and so forth! everything should start with us!
You all are right… If we dun do our part, more rubbish will be created by us and there will be more pollution like air and land pollution… These cause the environment getting worse… For our next genneration, we should do our part now…
