“The Asian tsunami of December 2004 was one of the worst natural disasters of our lifetime. More often, disasters are man-made, a result of conflict or climate change. And it is most often poor people who are on the frontline of climate change. In a world where population is set to increase to around nine billion by 2050, the challenge of meeting food and water needs and rights is going to be monumental. By reducing our own greenhouse gas emissions we can push the climate change frontline back – and not wait for it to come knocking on our own doors.”

I appreciate views of Mr. Ramesh Singh on need for reducing green house gases. However,one must realise that climate change frontline can not be pushed back since climate change issues evolved from damage to our ecosystem, which can sustain pressure up to certain extent only and one pressure build too much then it collapses. The great Newton’s law is valid in this context that every action has a reaction.Under present discussions on climate change we are simply trying to delay the inevitable rather than really uprooting the problem with honesty. If one takes a study of CDM projects happening world over,these projects are using CDM for increasing profit margin but not many projects are being conceived with the aim of reducing GHGs
