“A deal there (Copenhagen) would save the planet at a price we can easily afford — and it would actually help us in our current economic predicament.
“The truth, however, is that cutting greenhouse gas emissions is affordable as well as essential. Serious studies say that we can achieve sharp reductions in emissions with only a small impact on the economy’s growth. And the depressed economy is no reason to wait — on the contrary, an agreement in Copenhagen would probably help the economy recover.”

Indonesia’s plan to fight climate change
Indonesia, the world’s third largest greenhouse emitter, was the first developing country that offered a plan to curve its carbon dioxide emissions. Agus Purnomo, the head of Indonesia’s delegation said on Tuesday, that Indonesia would reduce emissions 26 percent by 2020, and an additional 15 percent if they get financial support. He said that the cuts would come through a combination of renewable energy, energy efficiency and reducing deforestation.

Climate Change: How long it will last?
Share It is assumed by many scientists that if we could halt all CO2 emissions, the climate impacts will only persist for a few centuries. This perception was so strong than even the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggested in its Fourth Assessment Report that “about 50% of a CO2 increase will be removed [...]
