[PEN-L:29995] Earth Summit in South Africa, Kyoto protocol

["Simon Spurrell, T-GR" <simon.spurrell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Recently Tony Blaire says "We can't solve climate change by being
anti-business or anti-success," This is probably the reason why USA refused
to sign the Kyoto protocol. If we can find a way to be pro-business,
pro-development and pro-environmental at the same time the problem is
solved.  Any solutions.... Not until oil runs dry probably....

Climate change would it really be so bad?

Problems - Sea level rises. Bangladesh sinks - Netherlands events even more
elaborate ways to keep the sea out. People have to moved if necessary to new
countries.

More rainfall over the planet.
More floods and anti flood measures would have to be taken.
Reverse of desertification - possible.
More productive land likely in arid or cold areas.

We are a planet with a mixture of gasses in a very delicate balance. If we
cannot withstand even a small change of this balance. What hope is there for
the human race or life on this planet for the years to come...

So please add your comments for good and bad things that could come from
Global Warming. Because there is not a thing we can do about it.
