Climate change debate:-2

So over the weekend we had a record snowfall in the Northeastern part of the United States. Now it begs the question for some folks, if the world is warming what to make of this. Well as I said it before, the scientists see a trend and not a one time phenomenon to designate it as a sign of global warming or cooling. Now it is being documented that the icebergs in Greenland and the arctic are melting faster. Also in the Himalayas where most of the world’s populations depends on the snow of the mountains, the ice cap are melting faster than before which will make it harder to get water for those people. So maybe we are responsible for the global warming. But now the question is who is responsible and who should pay for it.

Well when the world was industrializing and still is, the industrial countries were polluting the environment, but now that they are not industrializing, they are pressurizing the developing countries to slow the process of polluting. The developing countries in turn say that since they were the original reason of this so called global warming they should share the majority of the burden, since the developing countries don’t have the means and revenue to shoulder this burden and also they are developing so they don’t have to play by these rules. Once they are developed then they would be able to shoulder the costs of the warming. But it would be too late at that time.
