What will we do now? by Barbora Misakova

The time goes by so quickly. It seem to me like I was writing about the climate conference in Bali just few weeks ago. The truth is it was in December 2007. What is going on in this matter now? Is anything improving? Are there any solutions yet? Or are all those politicians sitting there quietly and sleeping?All politicians and those who have a power to change something should realize that people don't want any promises. As the Greenpeace said it in their spot: "We need some action!" Actually people need answers on their questions and they want to see that something is going on to improve this situation.After the last Bali conference in Indonesia the representatives of 117 countries and regional organizations came again and attended a ministerial session. The December's Bali conference was just a beginning; it produced a plan which set a deadline of cutting global warming greenhouse gases. And although planes are usually good, their realization are in most cases the biggest problem. So it is now. While people around the world and various organizations are shouting: "We want to stop this!" some of the representatives don't see it so clearly and easily. Jacqueline Cramer, Dutch Environment Minister said that for placing a world on low-carbon and solving this climate threat "billions of dollars will be needed over the next 20 years."Among those who are more optimistic belongs John Nashe, Antigua and Barbuda's UN Ambassador, who admits that realizing Bali's plan won't be easy, but he called for an "effective and comprehensive global response" which he sees in 4 blocks of the plan & mitigation, adaptation, technology transfer and financing. He explains that if we want to fight against climate change without fighting against poverty and backwardness in developing nations, all these global efforts will have one result & deeper poverty. Sri Lankan Environment Minister, Patali Ranawaka agrees and says: "It is not fair to expect the developing nations to shoulder the full burden of responding to climate change impact."Honestly I still don't know how this all will end up. I was really happy when I have read for the first time about the climate conference in Bali, but this time I am quite skeptic. I know myself, and I think the whole mankind is the same & there is no problems with warming up for something good, but after first problems and questions this enthusiasm declines. I hope that those who have that power to change and improve these things will realize it and won't let it be.
