Should India act on carbon emissions even if rich and industralised nations don't ?

Due to hige level of carbon emmission, the world's temperature has drastically changed, This is affecting not only the developed coumtries but also the developing and uder developed countries. Natural calamities are occuring frequently causing more damages, The developed countries can tackle these kind of situations well with their Economic strength, but for the developing countries like India, It will be a tough task.

India ranks 5th in the world and should definitely work towards it. just reducing our carbon emission levels won't help. We need to develop new technologies which would not only help the world in bringing emission level down but also add to our Forex reserves. Govt. can only support. it is the responsibility of corporates lead th way. It is an opportunity for us.

Yes. Whether other countries act or not India should act first on this issue. Let us clean our backyard first and lead the show rather than following others. Remember Leaders always lead from front. We will see India as Leader by 2020. Let us not ape the US and China and for that matter any country in our progress towards the Leadership. India has already suffered enough by transgressing from its value based culture and policies and following the alien culture. Thanks.

Global warming is an issue concerning the entire humanbeing world over. It is highly important that india would not turn back from playing a positive role for reducing carbon emission without waiting further for attaining our contrbution towards the menace in pace with that of the other countries, the developed countries in particular. It is to be borne in mind that we are going to be hit worst as we are mainly depended on agricultural production which again is depended on regular sufficient Monsoon. Shorter and more intense monsoon may becme the norm with water starved areas becoming desertified. The Glaciers in India are melting away rendering our perrnnial rivers like Ganga, Brahmaputhra and Indus becoming seasonal. The ealier we start acting the better the others also get sencitised. 

India need to cut down its carbon emissions. But not at the petty reasons of firewood usage in rural areas or methane emissionsfrom our farm lands. Rapid industrialisation should be augmented with the less carbon emmitting technologies

Yes yes yes.

We shoud uee our talent to process the indsutrial material in such a way that it shoud not  create carbon from processing

The issue is vital  for whole of the huminity. The plus and minus are not affecting the particular nation or the setor. We must be a part of positive contributers to the society, the universal society. Otherwise also, if donot contribute than what we will gain and if we contribute than what we will loose. The answer is nothing for both the quetions and therefore we should contribute which will earn some thing to the huminity.

All nations have obligation to protect the environment. If some nations are not doing it, this is their sin. India should not take those an excuse & should do its part of duty.

This has nothing to do with rich or poor nations. The top priority is to minimise the use of conventional resources and maximise the use of renewable resources. In the long run, the benefits are that we leave our future generations the valuable resources, refrain from polluting the environment.

Cutting on emissions and restoring ecobalance, is one such area, in which all the help from all the sides is welsome. And sooner, the better!.

While summits and discussions on common protocol to cut emissons will go on, India must not wait for that. Unilateral efforts to cut down carbon emissions should be taken up immediately.

Increasing green cover is the most effective measure of controling carbon in atmsphere. India as a nation, and each Indian as a responsible global citizen must take up trees plantation and restoring forests.

Pollution Control Board of India have the certain set of norms regarding carbon emission in the atmospheare, emission shall be within the standared fixed by them, additional control may be introduced in line with the norms adopted by other world nations or WHO as the case may be.

Irrespective of International mechanisms and support India should go ahead and implement policies in renewable's, Emissions, Agronomy, water conservation as most of our urban infrastructure collapse is linked to lack of Green policy. GOI is lacking will. Every Citizen of this country has right to clean Air, water, Food and shelter. Our present Practices lack strength to impose and penalise culprits who destroy environment.

India definitely should take the initiative. We cannot seat idle only because we are not developed. Neither we are dependant on anybody's decision. If they are not taking the step, we should. This will be a clear pointing on them saying they are the ones who started polluting the environment and we started cleaning it...
