changing climate conference of UN will be held on my country in this month. it will take place on BALI. The agenda is to discuss changing climate which caused by global warming effect. its to renew kyoto declaration which will be over in 2008. The sad things, USA was not willing to sign in kyoto declaration which stated about the solution how to manage global warming effect. I trully wish that in this conference, USA as a powerful country take concern to overcome changing climate which difficult to prediction at now. however, if the conference success made new declaration, will it affected enough to save our earth? what should we do in personal to help the government to manage global warming? Please post your opinion in here, we know global warming effect become serious issue to solve immediately recent days.

Yes, United nations and USA are not seeing eather in proper perspective for couple of years due to issues related to Iraq etc. There is no need for US to keep out of the conference and US should stop acting as big brother. What is applicable for all countries should be applicable for US. As you said issues like Global Warming, the leading countries like USA have major role to play as they are major contributors to the problem.

I decided on 3 things: 1. I have 3 levels of voting in elections. I insist through newspaper that I shall vote for a politician who has concern for solving the problem of global warming. 2. I have already implemented to avoid using aerosol cans. Separation of garbage material, drastic reduction in use of car and consequently less use of petrol, using the public transport. 3. To educate atleast 12 children per year to create greaterawareness. Lastly if one one invites me for lecture, I will not leave them without informing about global warming.

Talk about being hypicritical. All these UN flunkies fly from New York, and Europe to a Resort to hold a confrence. I heard that the Bali Airport had to close because of all the private jet landing for the confrence. What is the Carbon Footprint for the Confrence? I bet is it much bigger than mine for several years. These Holyer than Thou people travel like that and then want me to pay more to live and they go around in Big stretch limo and private jets telling everyone how bad we are for driving a car that is big enough to fit my family in. The High Priest Al Gore uses more energy than a small community every month and pays HIS company for Carbon Credits. This UN Committee has been around since the 1980's and they still can not prove anything that shows the climate is changing due to something man is doing. As we say around here this global warming is giving a lot of people high paying jobs so they can live high on the hog and tax the rest of us to support them. In the past few days I have been told by the Global Warming people the following: -I can't get divorced because divorced people have a larger carbon footprint -I can have a child because that will increas my carbon footprint. -I have to drive a smaller car (that increases my chances of getting killed in an accident) -I can't sit around a camp fire with my children -I can't eat red meat because cows pass gas and that increases the carbon footprint. -I can't smoke because of the increased Carbon Footprint -I need to take my vacation closer to home to reduce my carbon footprint. They they fly in private jets, half way around the world to a resort for a confrence to decide how much they need to tax me to study Global Warming. GIVE ME A BREAK

DOnt know for sure what is intailed with this kypto declaration. Over here we have the clean air act and the no smoking ban going and also a plan for cars emmisions to get lower. I would think the way to stop global warming is to stop building for all the ashfault and cement that they put in mkaes it way to hot here. also they need to plant trees! Like the Lumber companies take the trees but dont replace them that needs to be done. Other than this not sure what else we can do.

People have been told a simplified version of the cause of global warming... one that makes the people and governments of the world responsible for the effect. That is one theory, and the most popular. But there are many other opinions as to cause, and solutions to these problems are not as easy to come by. Please check out this site... you'll get a different perspective....... http://www.nov55.com/gbwm.html Oceans are heating, not the atmosphere... The real cause of global warming could be an increase in solar energy, as critics generally claim; but there is evidence that it is due to variations in heat from the earth's core. Ice ages are caused by oceans heating, which appears to result from increased heat from inside the earth. The primary evidence is the exact cycling of ice ages. Environmental factors would not be so precise. Also, the oceans heating more than the atmosphere points to the heat coming from inside the earth. For knowledge to be complete, requires examination of all factors known, not merely the simplest.

Wow I didn't know Kyoto was over in 2008. Iknow the first one failed miserably. My own government, changed over in the past few years and the new power backed out on Canada's promise. This time global warming has been proven and is very much important to many people. I think it will gain more attention this time and hopefully be more impactful.

UN climate conference will not affected to global warming. The result of the conference is only pragmatically decission. I think Western Nations (including USA) always blame their "sins" to environment destruction to 3rd Nations. They have taken many advantage from earth to progress their development for years. And then they shared the bad effect to all nations in the world.
