Global warming synonymous with improvised explosive devices


The UN Summit on climate change held in Copenhagen, Denmark two weeks ago reminded many of us the dangers that lie ahead for future generations.For as long as the global village do not reach consensus on the way forward,we are bound to condemn our predecessors into oblivion.For as long as developed nations remain a prototype of big brother in the novel 1984,there can be no amicable resolution in ratifying the proposed treaty.That is the reason why the summit collapsed - leaving big brother livid.


Surely the planet's hostile model of development pursued by the industrialised countries has led to a collective detriment to the rest of the world.Now it is only fair that the developing countries repel a deal that is obliterated with underlying adverse effects in relation to their development.If i were to be an empiricist, the effects of climate change can not be ignored, because there are now quite poignant.Most of the developing world are under siege and have become victims of climate change, yet their contribution to this change is little or none.

For the world has changed and it is imperative that we change with it.But to what extent should big brother compensate the developing world?There seems to be some imbalances in the way in which this world is run.The USA and its allies are in Afghanstan,in a war they define as ,'a war of necessity'.But when the global climate agreement is finally ratified in future, will they send their men and women to fight those that will defy the climate change treaty.In my opinion defying the climate change treaty is just as equally bad as the terrorism they are fighting in Helmand.Or are there gonna be economic sanctions for those that violet the mother treaty?

The bio-carbon emissions are more prevalent in developed countries, why then should the developing world ratify something that will undermine their own development?Of course, there is compensation put aside for the developed world but is it a fair deal.Remember carbon emissions will be the same across the spectrum once ratified - so who gets the raw deal?

I hope a consensus will be reached at some point.I am not vindicating the underdeveloped or mitigating for them but it's a fact - they are getting a raw deal from big brother!!!!
