Finally most of the world agrees!
However the USA has problems because they have to do more than the developing nations. Wow. Perhaps some of their leaders need to go live in China, India or an African country for a while and get a reality check.
Almost 200 nations agreed that we need to get on with reducing emissions and that we only have 10 years to make major reductions to reduce the impacts. We can no longer avoid global warming, we can only reduce the impact.
On the day my youngest grandson (Edwin) was born, I can can only applaud the patience and negotiating skills of the almost 200 nations who agreed do something.
If the USA wants to be considered as a world leader it does need to get its act together because at present it is out on a limb on its own. As Papua New Guinea said - either join in or get out of our way.
We, individuals, business and government alike, must start pulling together for the sake of the new generation. Edwin and all the other children need this! Desperately even though they are much too small to realise. How can we look them in the eye and say we love them if we continue to destroy their future.
A report by the Climate Change Institute quoted on this morning’s news says that if we all make the behavioural changes needed, it will not make major changes to our lifestyles.
It is a fact that well planned environmental management systems actually save money as well as helping the environment. Go look at www.enviroaction.com.au and www.enviro-action.com for more information about how to green your business and increase profits
