Recently more than 90 global leaders gathered for a climate change summit in New York City to brainstorm about the affects of global warming and to come up with some possible solutions to combat the problem. President Barack Obama spoke at the summit, noting that taking zero action on climate change could leave future generations with an “irreversible catastrophe.“
President Obama also noted that the United States is “determined to act” and has put climate at the top of the diplomatic agenda with countries across regions, from China and India to Brazil and Mexico. U.S. leader at the summit agree that security and stability of every nation are at stake with Obama recognizing that it’ll be difficult to reach a climate change agreement. However, because developed nations have caused much of the global warming damage, Obama says that we also have a responsibility to fight the effects.
I think most actual green living advocates are very disappointed in Copenhagen. Big talk, not a whole lot of action. Overall, the emissions used to fly everyone there, and keep people in hotels prob canceled out any good they did, since the good they did was so minor. Lame.
I see you are interested in global warming and everything else that comes with it. I would just like to share my disappointment at the outcome of the Copenhagen climate council. The summit was supposed to halt temperature rise by cutting greenhouse gases. But after two weeks of negotiating it ended in a weak political accord that does not force any country to reduce emissions and has no legal standing anyway. As a result the world is “one step closer to a humanitarian crisis”, according to the Royal Society. It looks like it is every man for themselves but if your far away neighbors don’t do anything to halt it, what is the point. Here in Scotland, Scottish Hydro has shown the way forward with supplying clean renewable Scottish power from sources like, hydro damns and wind turbine farms but is it all in vein? It could well be.
