The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, UNFCCC, now has a
document from the Paris Climate Change Convention.
Let’s hope the industrial world will hearken.
SMOG IN BEIJING
Meanwhile, Mother Nature has a way of mocking us: to get to the pre-Paris
talks held in Bonn from 19 to 23 October, delegates fouled the climate
with emissions the equivalent of that from a small city.
Looking at the crowd at the Paris Convention, the quantity of
ecosystem-crippling gasses released into the atmosphere is enough for them to
discuss throughout the jamboree.
Mother Nature has given up on us.
Let’s face it. If they cannot agree on arms (mutually
destructive ones) control, why should anyone believe that they mean what is
written on paper? The industry that belches pollutants into the air is directly
or indirectly linked to the arms race.
As the delegates move about, I hope their various means of transportation do not get lost
in smog while they seek for in-roads into the booming air purification business in Beijing.
