Global Warming and Developed Countries

The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) firmly asked all countries to cut their emissions drastically if the world is to be saved from rising temperatures and sea levels.Do you think that all countries will act positively?Should developed countries contribute more in this regard?

No one will cut except maybe for the europeans. Sure the west (USA) should take the lead but they won't. Doing so would imply that they are admitting guilt. Now how could they ever do that?

No .. china has already defied this request . ..saying that it needs its coal industry to supply energy .it has planned thousands of new such plants and will be number 1 polluter in the world in next decade . nobody can stop it .. India is keeping mum but will follow the same path ..Europe will be the first to comply followed by USA ...after Bush leaves . Yes .. they have the technology and the finance to do so .Also new inventions and CO2 capture techniques will actually create a new industry and there is more money to be made as G.E. has shown . If Al Gore becomes next president and he still might enter the race ..then America will be the leader in this regard .

The UN has been warning this since past several years.. if all countries acted positively, the situation would not have required issuing such an alarming SOS for action.. 'Should developed countries contribute more in this regard?' Undoubtedly YES.. they reaped the benefits and developed themselves without caring for the environment.. now they cannot expect developing or poor countries to pay for their excesses..

Instead of thinking and writing who should do what, lets concentrate on what Each one of us can do. We cant control the leaders of the world, but we can certainly change our actions. Why should we expect Developed nations to change

contributors to global warming has to take up the responsibility proactively . but that should also be joined by all other nations to make a collective effort instead of indulging in blame games

This is one big global community. What would affect one nation or country may or can affect another. So then why not we just pool our heads together and solve this pronto! The clock is ticking.
