Concerted action ...I agree with what you have said. Concerted action is very much needed. Like AlGore said in his latest speech at TED, (http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/243) action has to come from the common man. The Govt. responds to the needs and desires of the people. If each of us rate this as a important and urgent matter, then steps will be taken in this direction. <BR/><BR/>Europe seems to be taking this issue very seriously. So much so that Emission Trading is a $3billion market now. But their efforts alone won't save us. Unfortunately the biggest polluter is too scared of the developed world to even sign the Kyoto agreement. Most Americans, and certainly their president, doesn't seem to care. Like AlGore points out in his speech, effects of GHG (Green House Gases) are at the bottom of their issue list. <BR/><BR/>But when the question is human race we can't play the blame game. Leaving the past behind, each of us needs to take quick and long steps to stop GH emisions. Climate change is one change which is definitely not happening for the good.DGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348997080011500944noreply@blogger.com
