We are the saviors

With a great economy comes a great price..

As climate change talks in Bali comes to wraps, tension is rising as US and Japan plus several other governments would not be willing to accept the proposed reduction of 25~40% of greenhouse gases by 2020. This has growing concerns as one of the aim of this talk is to set targets before the Kyoto protocol expires by 2012.

US, the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, has played a defensive role since talks started and still maintains that this is just the beginning of such discussions and there are more room for setting targets later. However environmentalist have made no room for further decisions and stands firm to its decision to get this done once and for all.

As both sides are at-loggerheads, we’ll only have to see which side would be willing to give in.

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.
