HOPENHAGEN

Copenhagen UN Summit on Climate Change is the 15th such conference. The futility of 14 previous such gatherings ‘to party’ are a heavy price already paid by the world at large.
It is symbolic that this conference is depicted as the HOPENHAGEN' SUMMIT to signify the ‘HOPE’ being placed on the leaders of participating nations to ‘STOP TALKING’ & ‘START ACTING’.
Talking without intent has already caused huge damage. Ongoing deliberations at this summit may be the only realistic opportunity to attempt sustainable apolitical decisions along with unselfish economic sacrifices that could unite billions to live safely on ‘ONE’ SAVED PLANET.
The distinction between rich & poor, more polluting & less polluting and all other 'vested' stand points will soon loose relevance if this summit fails to arrive at a consensus to share the blame for causing damage along with accepting responsibility in reversing and halting further damage.
Our existence on the planet is at stake and the time to score brownie points by negotiators to cater for narrow national interest is over.

The only escape route to survive lies in statesmanship and consensus for stringent actions to save our planet for mankind as opposed to nation-kind.
THE LEADERS OF IMPORTANT NATIONS HAVE A DUTY TO BE ACCOMODATIVE TOWARDS OTHERS WHILE THE NOT-SO-IMPORTANT NATIONS HAVE TO BE GRACEFUL IN ACCEPTING APPARENTLY ‘UNJUSTIFIED’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR A LARGER CAUSE.
CONSENSUS @ COPENHAGEN =
HOPENHAGEN.
