Climate Change Solutions In Developing Nations Require Diplomacy, Not Dogma
Given the recent spate of advertising by Britain’s leading supplier of gas, 1 may well be forgiven for believing that gas was a ‘green’ item. Make no mistake, gas is a fossil fuel. Its burning flame is blue -apparently so it can be recognised when it’s turned on. It emits black carbon into the atmosphere which contributes to global warming and thus, the climate alter that is continuously in the news these days.
But such is the rush to jump on the ‘green bandwagon’ that developed nations run the risk of believing that what they are doing is enough to solve the issue in the west. This is whilst emerging industrialists in developing nations continue to pollute at an alarming rate.
Even though historically, the truth is that the west has been responsible for creating most of the pollution, risking devastating consequences for the entire of the globe only new developing countries are beginning to follow suit.
