Copenhagen

Copenhagen should concentrate on transfer of technology. Some countries have developed good models of limiting pollution. This does not mean China is asked to cut down on number of factories but discuss how the factories can keep pollution at minimum. Or perhaps India is told writing software or solving math problems creates global warming. This is what reading fine print means. On the other hand exchange of technology and having forum that provides help and discussion to keep the world beautiful is always a good thing. In fact developing countries should pay for such transfer of technology not because they are forced to but because they want to.

Copenhagen would have been a greater success if instead of laws and funds, the aspect of how technology could be made more earth friendly was given more focus. The experience of developed countries would have been handy. But Copenhagen was more about rich and poor countries. There are no poor countries. Earth is fascinating and provides plenty for all. There are only poor people. Behind great poverty there is always great exploitation.
