All countries act here with such skill to fool that world that they are all doing all they can to protect their environment. These conference are more or like corporate parties which gathers in name of spreading great idea but end up in distributing great food and gifts.
No, doubt many international organisations including UN have worked hard to see some improvement in environment commitment by countries, but all attempts to save earth gets crushed under the weight of money/profit making. Both developed and developing countries engage in blame game (no doubt developed industrial countries are more responsible for the climate problem), and end up in a so called 'agreement' (which is totally vague) as a courtesy call.
The present environment problem can't change until we all as an, individual and also as a nation, are ready to sacrifice the luxuries in life. We have to move more towards need based economy rather than demand based. As Mahatma Gandhi had said “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed”. This had been pointed out by many great personalities through history but no one really gave any ear to it.
In this regard I would like to mention Bhutan, the only country on this earth which has shown the true meaning of life and living. A country not rich but happier than any country on this earth. People live with nature.
What is more irritating is the ideas of making other planet habitable for humans so that we can shift human population in case of an environment catastrophe. We have destroyed earth with our greed, now why we need to destroy other planets also.
