Will CopenHagen turn out to be "HopenHagen"..?

Amidst all the overwhelming fuss about globalwarming per se, the UN Climate summit started on a positive note. While there may be trade-offs between the vested interests of developed and developing countries but what still stands upright is the approaching apocalypse, if overlooked!! So, it is in the better favor of humanity that we all unite and fight it out as whole. I really liked India's stand which goes like this, "We are not sure if we are a part of this problem, but will make sure we are a part of the solution". There are quite a lot of conflicts between developing and developed nations in the view of proposed carbon emission cuts,as in, the developed countries imposing unrealistic goals w.r.t carbon emission cuts on developing countries, while the developing countries putting the pretext that their per capita carbon emission is still way lower than what developed country has, that too at the time when they are on the growth spree. Whatever the fuss is being made, but its really the high time we realize our responsibility and reduce our carbon foot-prints for the sake of humanity, failing which will have unimaginable consequences in terms of economic and human costs.
There is an old African proverb that says "If you want to go quickly;go alone,if you want to go far, go together".But,We have to go far and quickly. I am sure it will be difficult, but not that difficult if we make a collective resolve.
Its been rightly said, " Kaun kehta hai aasman me surakh nahi hota, jara ek paththar toh tabiyat se uchalo yaro"!!

If you are still sceptical about it, go and watch/read "The Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore.I am sure that will give you that spark to feel the approaching catastrophe!!

So, what I feel is "Together We Can!!".
