SE Asia's Islands At Risk

We all contribute to global warming. Both the U.S. and developing countries need to change the mentality of "I'll do my part if you do yours" and realize everyone must make lifestyle changes to save our planet. Indonesia's islands are particularly at risk of natural disaster -- or of eventually sinking.

You assume that the earth is dead and can't react to human stupid action. It've been around for 4 billion years and witnessess the dead of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Who know if that wasn't a calculated action ?

It just give us ample warning while trying to readjust the position of Mount Chomolungma so that it can adapt more water created by global warming.

Let's have Faith in NATURE !

Archimedes:

Yes, climate change is a global issue, one that can't be solved by one country alone. However, before we go riding off on some Quixotic quest to stop global warming, we need to first be able to distinguish between anthropogenic (man-made) carbon and naturally occuring carbon in our atmosphere. If we can't do that, and we can't cuurently, then we will never be able to know precisely what actions to take and therefore risk permanently stunting the devleopment of literally billions of people.

As to Pareto's law, you ought to check your numbers before posting, as the number 2 and 3 largest, and also the fastest growing, polluters on the planet are comprised of nearly 2.4 billion people. Add that to the population of the US and the figure rises to nearly 2.7 billion. So in fact, nearly 50% are responsible for the "problem". Not to mention that the earth has been gradually warming for the last 18,000 years, all on its own.

i dont care if your entire country ends up under the water and the only people you have left are found floating face down in the ocean.

JRLR:

You state that "... leadership will have to come from individuals and civil society"... that "governments are too locked into the cycle of politics to do what we all desperately need."

Whenever I ask myself "what have you done today to help conserve the Earth?", even when proud of my own achievements, I cannot but feel that given the magnitude of the problem, individualism is not the solution. At this stage, the solution needs to be collective and global. As Pareto's law states, "those 20% responsible for 80% of the problem need be stopped." We need not bother too much about the other 80%!

That said, I'll still do my bit until the very end, no matter what...
