Greenhouse Gas Emissions Hit Danger Mark: Scientist
Global economic expansion, particularly in China and India, has accelerated greenhouse gas emissions to a dangerous threshold not expected for a decade and could potentially cause irreversible climate change, said one of Australia's leading scientists, Tim Flannery. He explains that at this point, reducing greenhouse emissions may no longer be enough to prevent dangerous climate change. "We can reduce emissions as strongly as we like -- unless we can draw some of the standing stock of pollutant out of the air and into the tropical forests, we'll still face unacceptable levels of risk in 40 years time," he said. Flannery suggested the developed world could buy "climate security" by paying villages in countries like Papua New Guinea not to log forests and to regrow forests. "So I see that as a historic debt that we owe the world. And I can't imagine a better way of paying it back than trying to help the poorest people on the planet."
I think that is a horrible way to look at it. The problem of global warming comes from Western nations not from the recent development of India and China. While their recent developments have accelerated the rate of change we need to keep our eyes on the primary and largest source. These nation have more undeveloped carbon neutralizing wild lands than Europe or the US.
I also think that paying nations like Papua New Guinea should be no more than tiny pieces to the puzzle. Concentrating our efforts there will only lead to those nations turning into the same over-consumptive denizens of this planet that we are.
We need to take responsibility for our day to day life styles and make the sacrifices needed to move our economies and lives in a much more sustainable direction.

Because it's pushed by the media, who are wkroing for the politicians and the green corporations to make people feel guilty and willing to reduce their lifestyles to supposedly save the planet. The environmental movement was taken over decades ago. Their agenda has nothing to do with helping the planet or the environment at all, but since they own the media, they have all sorts of methods of making you feel guilty about living a prosperous lifestyle. You can choose to comply, or become educated and resist the movement.The agenda is to cripple the economy, and it's wkroing as long as we let it.
