Copenhagen fiddles while the world burns!
The world’s most powerful leaders attended the recent climate change conference in Copenhagen with the declared purpose of reaching an agreement to reverse the threat of global warming. Tragically the summit ended in complete failure because national vested interests took precedence over global needs.
Access to relatively cheap fossil fuels has continued to prove a bridge to far in reaching an agreement between the worlds largest industrial economies. These major international corporations who seriously influence global politics are doing everything in their power to prevent a major shift to a low carbon economy, because this would seriously impact on their investments in the fossil fuel industry.
Climate change is an impending global catastrophe and if action is not taken immediately the consequences for the world are unthinkable. Technology does exists today to produce energy in a pollutant free non nuclear manner however in many cases the patents have been bought and not implemented by the giant corporations to protect their investments. The world at large demands a halt to this insane behaviour and to start sharing the world’s technology and resources for the benefit of all because there will be no second chance.
