The Front Page Issue: Global Warming

New Delhi:  At last, Global Warming is a front page issue for the first time.  Global concern about climate change has risen dramatically over the last six months and consumers increasingly expect their governments to act, according to a survey.
The survey by the Nielsen Company and Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute, found 42% of global online consumers believe governments should restrict companies' emission of carbondioxide and other pollutants.
Leaders of G8 agreed on Thursday on the goal of halving dangerous greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 in a landmark pact against global warning.
As member states wrangled over the final text, Bush took a conciliatory stance, staying the US was ready to take the leading role in a global bid to fight climate change but that India and China must join in.  India, on this, reacted by saying that they will surely join the war against Global Warming but many developed countries emits more Greenhouse gases than developing countries.
In US, although up 7% in six months, still only 13% of citizens-who live in the country responsible for a quater of global emissions of the carbon dioxide- see climate change as one of their biggest worries.
Crucially, the environmental message is getting through in India and China - two of the world's largest and fastest growing polluters - while public anxiety in other large developing economies like Mexico and Brazil is intensifying.
Its still all messed up in the World.  What is needed is Unity to win this game.  Blaming each other will not lower the emission.
