Environmental Issues In Developing Countries

And unlike developed nations that understand and can afford environmental consciousness, global warming for developing nations is not a high-priority concern. Nations therefore are headed on a collision course among the nations that accept global warming and those that do not. It's easy for developed nations to sign up because they have attained a culture that can maintain their constituents. Unfortunately, fossil fuels are important for developing nations who are still on the critical verge of transforming their economies with formidable industries. As it is, there is an Asian increase in the cost of steel. China is building so fast that supply couldn't keep up with the demand. It is probable that industrialized countries which has set their lifestyle consuming two thirds of the Earth's fuels would need to secure their lifestyle by getting other developing countries to sign the Protocol and in a way, control their consumption of fossil fuels. Up till now, the US has not signed the Protocol. Russians are looking at negotiations and know that a bribe is somewhere cooking. They are curious on how much the bribe will be.

Three, objective scientists who look at data gathered for the past centuries note that warming of the Earth is part of a natural cycle that has no need for existing alarmist stance. While surface temperatures report small and steady increases in temperature, satellite and weather-balloon readings have even shown that the tropics have experienced cooling. Experts worldwide are active in making sure their instruments are precise and reliable. But science and its tools of measurements simply cannot predict these natural phenomenons accurately. Simulations can be done but at the end of the day, experts know that weather, affected by many variables such as topography, wind direction, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and varying changes in temperature can change without warning.
