The World is burning!!!

















Hopenhagen to Flopenhagen???

After months of media scrutiny and waiting, the event turned to be a cataclysmic disaster. Or was this expected? The world witnessed what we Indians witness everyday in the Parliament.... Organized chaos, rich countries trying to play Big Brother, pusillanimous politicians making tall claims and the likes...

The rich have promised a $100bn package to the poorer countries by 2020? So what? Is that going to help us in any way?

Climate Change! Something we have heard of umpteen times over the past couple of years. But do we really care? Does it affect common people like you and me? Do we really need to do something for our future generations? Or do we just sit back and enjoy our lives and leave the climate change fights to our future generations?

Questions aplenty... Answers I don't have...

But yes, we have a problem... A gigantic one at that! And someone needs to take the lead in solving it. But are the developed nations listening? Or in reality, are they worried? What will it take for them to sit up and take notice? Will it take a tidal wave to destroy the Big Apple or a London for them to understand that the world is burning.

Or will they sidestep this one as well and sing in chorus "We didn't start the fire"/

God Bless!
