Can Copenhagen Summit curtail the climate change?
the ongoing climate summit in Copenhagen is practically a publicity stunt by world leaders. The leaders of developed and developing nations congregated together for a great and much needed cause to tap the rise of world temperature below 2 degrees till 2050. But what is happening there is mere bargaining by developing nations for getting emission waiver for the sake of their developmental programs. The BASIC( Brazil,South Africa, India, China) countries are fighting for a common agenda of not getting overpowered by the developed nations to sign a deal that may harm their economic development. And it is quite justified as these countries have miles to go to come at per to the counties like US where carbon emission is concerned. As the current statistical data shows that India has much less per-capita emission than even some of their developing counterparts. As per the data collected by International Energy Agency in 2006 India has per capita emission of 1.29/ metric ton which is much less than United States (18.67/MT), European Union( 7.87/MT), Japan(10.14/MT), Russia(11.03/MT). Therefore, it is unreasonable that India should come under the same obligation to control carbon emission as for the other industrialized nations. so, keeping the national interest at bay the developed counties should focus on the global interest and take the initiative to cut their chunk of massive fuel consumption by developing more and more renewable energy source. And also they must share their modern technology for creating and generating renewable energy in the developing nations. Because development can not be stopped, it is a ongoing process which is going on since the time of our inception.But we may continue it in a safe and alternate way without endangering the future of our planet. This world is for all and we must save it at any cost.
