UN to talk on climate adaptation
| UK Climate Change Minister Ian Pearson believes that we must help underdeveloped countries to adapt to the impacts of climate change due to the greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere. Mr. Pearson thinks that talk of the Kyoto Protocol will be unlikely to help set new global emission reduction targets. Mr. Pearson also believes that the meeting at Nairobi summit will be more successful because it will be hosted by an African Government. "Climate change is a huge issue when it comes to Africa. There will certainly be a strong focus on adaptation in Nairobi because it is one of the most pressing issues facing countries in sub-Saharan Africa today," Mr. Pearson said. I believe that this issue is more for the larger developed countries then the less developed countries because the more developed countries emit more greenhouse gases then less developed countries who have very limited industry. I still think that the less developed countries should still be involved because they still feel the effects from the environmental issues and the climate change. I think that if we don’t start taking care of the earth now in what condition it will be in 20 years from now. How do we want to be remembered by the era that polluted the land and depleted the ozone Layer? |
