Interesting thing that this climate change is up everywhere. from AL Gore to Amitabh Bachchan all are supporting it.
But do they actually know what they r doing.
1. the only major country to have not signed and ratified the kyoto protocol for climate change is the USA. the US is the worlds largest consumer of fossil fuels, largest polluter, has the largest number of cars and aircrafts in the world, largest importer of wood from the Rainforests.
2. The face which has become synonymous with this movement is AL Gore. he was also given the Nobel Peace Prize for this. Intersting he was the Vice President of USA when the US rejected KYOTO. Double Standards?
3. the US in fact blames Developing countries for this aggravation of climate change situation. They want the developing world to not use thermal power etc and spend money on renewable energy source.
4. why should the developing countries squander there money on these costly alternatives
5. finally CARBON CREDITS. money given for implementing green projects. Projects on which money spent could have set up thermal power plants which would have provided more electricity.SHOULD THIS MONEY NOT BE VIEWD AS A BRIBE GIVEN BY THE RICH NATIONS TO POOR NATIONS, SO THAT THESE NATIONS REMAIN POOR.
6. More ppl are effected every year due to lack of medical facilities, unemployment, education (requiring more energy resources and money) than of climate change or pollution
7. Finally it should be seen that the people of the THIRD WORLD DEVELOPING countries face an uncertain today, should they worry about the future.
8. y should the poor pay for what the rich nations do
all this climate control issue is useless unless the rich nations (especially the USA) do something in this direction.
I talk this opportunity to point out the differences in what the US says and What it does.
The ppl of india could all turn off their cars, shut down chemical plants, as a matter of fact have a zeo carbon footprint even then the climate change situation wouldnt even be slightly affected.
what is required at this juncture is to decide on the 2 following options
a) Pressurise the US to ratify the KYOTO protocol as a first step in a series of actual steps taken by it as a world leader.
b) Pressurise the Indian Government to break off from the treaty on climate change. ask the govenment to stop the spending on fighting this climate change and spend it on more pressing issues like poverty.
go on start the movement
the poor will not be eyewashed into beleiving that they r ruining the climate.
Let us join hands and condemn this bigotry followed by these countries.
We will not be fooled by them and will strive till these greedy Capitalists bite the dust
Join me!!!
