You should have termed this as "Nero is fiddling as India is burning" what
Manmohan Singh is giving importance to Global warming, a still disputed
Scientific theory.
When the Country is facing 12% inflation, miles of vehicles waiting to get
petrol and diesel, Naxalites on a killing spree alongwith Maoists on the
sideline, poor unable to adjust their budgets with limited income, the Prime
Minister wants to oblige US surrendering our sovgnty for 40 years by signing
123 and now wastes his time on Global Warming phenomena!!
The real Nero of India

India launches action plan on climate change
New Delhi: The Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh on Monday launched the
National Action Plan on Climate Change in New Delhi. It incorporates the
country's vision of sustainable development, mitigate global warming and reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.
Speaking at the launch, the Prime Minister said that this reflects the great
importance attached to mobilising the national energies and resources in
meeting the challenge of climate change.
He added that without a careful long-term strategy, climate change may
undermine development efforts, with adverse consequences, across the board, on
the people's livelihood and the living standards.
Encompassing a very broad and extensive range of measures, the plan focuses on
the national energies of eight national missions, which will be pursued as key
components of the country's strategy for sustainable development.
These include national missions on solar energy, on enhanced energy efficiency,
on sustainable habitat, on conserving water, on sustaining the himalayan
ecosystem, on creating a "Green India", on sustainable agriculture and finally,
on establishing a strategic knowledge platform for climate change.
"Over a period of time, we must pioneer a graduated shift from economic
activity based on fossil fuels to one based on non-fossil fuels and from
reliance on non-renewable and depleting sources of energy to renewable sources
of energy," Singh said.
Under the plan, the country will pool its scientific, technical and managerial
talent, with sufficient financial resources, to develop solar energy as a
source of abundant energy to power the economy and to transform the lives of
people.
The National Action Plan is meant to evolve and change in the light of changing
circumstances, developments in science and technology and in the global regime
that is currently being fashioned through multilateral negotiations.
Meanwhile the Prime Minister assured that despite our developmental
imperatives, our per capita GHG emissions will not exceed the per capita GHG
emissions of the developed industrialised countries.
