COP15 opened with a quarrel between The Industrialized Countries & The Third World
COP15, the Climate Meeting in Copenhagen has now begun. But it is not all who are optimistic about how good the results of the meeting will be.
Several representatives of the developing countries in the Third World are complaining that the intentions of the industrialized countries of America and Europe are not enough, and in particular that there aren’t any strict consequences for those countries that don’t live up to the intended reduced CO2 emissions, even though the aimed for reductions are low.
The worries of The representatives of countries from the Third World has to be seen in the perspective of the missing results of the Kyoto Protocol. The USA never agreed to the Kyoto Protocol! – That the USA now seems to be willing to participate in a Copenhagen Agreement is of course ‘good news’. However the ‘bad news’ are that they aim for a protocol of good intentions, but without any strict legal binding commitments.
The Third World are also accusing Denmark’s Prime Minister for being a biased and partial host of the meeting. According to a leaked document Denmark has already (before the beginning of the meeting) made promises to other industrialized countries about which burdens should be put on the shoulders of the 3rd World Countries.

To me the meeting seems to be joking, if the host country is not in comfirmity with the protocal agenda then, i predict anegative results.
What if the third world countries opt for the use of CFCS that were banned in Kyoto protocal.
If we need to clean our Environment we should think togather not like USA which is the most pollutor and at the same time not complying to the Kyoto protocal.
I would them suggest that the meeting use a principle of pollutor pays principle.
