Climate change


A UN climate change conference began with a call from the most vulnerable developing nations for large and rapidly developing countries such as China and India to do more to tackle global warming.
The group of the 48 least-developed countries plus a group of small island states has previously maintained a united front against what it perceives to be the lack of action from industrial nations which are responsible for the bulk of carbon dioxide emissions.
China overtook the US as the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide earlier this year, although per capita the US is still far higher.
What do you think, will this work better than Kyoto? The problem is also the US issue. Will they change? Perhaps we are seeing this already with Arnold Schwarzeneger advocating many aspects of "green " living. Watch this space.....
