The Climate Challenge: Constrained Progress

Climate Change: Does it really matter?

That the Earth is warming is a gospel truth. The disturbing reality quickly demonstrates how the poor nations are yet to add more problems to their existing list of burdening food insecurity, land degradation and disturbing poverty.

Atmospheric GHG Concentrations & Global Surface Temperature Trends

While the impacts of the dehumanizing global warming have shown signs of spontaneous emergence, the world is entangled in disagreements especially between the rich and poor nations. The latest has been a decrying voice of the Developing countries and Aid Agencies over the recent pledges made by the rich states to curb the global warming problem.
Describing the EU package as inadequate, the critics have quickly pointed out the absolute lack of honest commitment considering the amount and velocity of approaching problems. Bruno Tseliso Sekoli, the chairman of the Least Developed Countries (LDC) bloc, has been quoted by the BBC as saying that the EU pledge certainly "cannot be enough for the purpose of meeting the requirements of the LDCs" and that;
“Any money that would flow from the developed to developing worlds would be welcome but these numbers are very, very low”
Interestingly the offers from the developed world are a combination of new with old aid packages to make convincingly huge sums of money but which in reality may not cover the gaping financial gap. This was acknowledged by the Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, noting that that the pledges made at the summit were "a combination of new and old resources” and "almost all the money is likely to be simply a relabelling of existing aid commitments"

This could mean that not much is new from the summit, concerning making fresh strides towards abating the tragic global threat arising from human actions.

Observation
As the richer nations are tasked to contribute their “fair share” in fighting to control and facilitation of adaptation to global warming which they responsibly deserve to do, poorer nations must recognize their contribution to the problem. Emissions from the conversion of forests or grazing lands to agricultural or urban land are largely a monopoly of the Third World Countries for which they must equally claim greater responsibility and swing into action.
