Initiative should not be started by the government but human race itself. The smallest units has to initiate the to create the inertia for the larger mass to move... just like taichi's "To break a thousand Kgs with a tael"... well, sounds funny but that's the literal translation. ps-Again, where is Gerakan K? Not interested in non-political but constructive topics? Compromises between two political parties is already hard to be reached, what more between countries?

Go read up. However,air pollution and denuding of forests is still criminal and detrimental to the environment and nature. If decisions doesn't come top down, we, at the bottom, must make sure it goes up to those ignorant high-ups. Global warming is a myth. Go read up.

This is a classic example of how the mind justifies a wrong ; if you could do it so could we. We should do it because it is the right thing to do, not because it is fair. We should ask ourselves, as a nation, what we can do and how we should go about doing it. I believe we shouldn’t just do things if it is fair.

According to a British Medical Journal Clinical Evidence review of 2,404 conventional treatments, only 15% were rated as beneficial, 22% as likely to be beneficial, 7% as trade off between benefits and harms, 5% as unlikely to be beneficial, 4% as likely to be ineffective or harmful and 47% of unknown effectiveness. www.clinicalevidence.com/ceweb/about/knowledge.jsp When evidence of harm were presented lucrative medical practices would have specialists and medical doctors practising authority based medicine. When the harm of hormone replacement therapy was uncovered a malaysian gynocologist publicly proclaimed that the study do not apply to malaysian women and that the benefits outweighed the harm. When I presented some damning evidences of modern medical practice I was warned of how my post was irresponsible and may convince others of avoiding life-saving medical treatment. Such fear mongering, was perhaps the reason Anil had removed his "public service" article. Do we suppress negative evidence of efficacy and worst yet evidence of harm ? In any scientific research the only evidence that is of use that could further our understanding would be negative evidence. Positive evidences should always be taken with large doses of salt. Does mammography help ? 2 large studies pointed to the contrary. Does chemotherapy work ? "Death by doctoring - the good, the bad and the ugly" by steven ransom is highly revealing. http://loveforlife.com.au/content/08/01/23/death-doctoring-cancer-good-bad-and-ugly-steven-ransom How can justice flow like a mighty river when we are afraid of telling the truth.

I would suggest that each one of us start to plant at least a tree, by 2015, we can have a minimum of additional 50 million trees acting as CO2 sinker. Provided we don't chop anymore trees. For those of you who stay in flats... How about playgrounds? Regarding this climate issue… there is a simple way to tackle… maybe it consumes time but it is wise to start a.s.a.p.

Hill clearing for another development? Please enlighten, many thanks! Anil,

But not having a treaty could also be an excuse for doing nothing. It's not easy but something has to be done to cut emissions. It cannot be business as usual.

Are you so sure about that? Are you not open to possibility that there are ulterior motives behind it? If not, then no problem...another treaty is in the work six months later, one proposed by Germany. By then you can have your global treaty on climate change.
