Nellai Suresh puts in black and white

David Philling writes in Financial Times that ' A group of leading nations is starting to look hollow without Asia's emerging powers (India & China).He quotes Bill Emmot former Editor of The Economist who says, 'It is time for Canada to be ejected from the Group of Eight'. Just 50 years of our independent existence and 17 years of unleashing the power of the enterpreneurs have catapulted us to this state

Hypocracy is a global phenomenon, for sure. It trancends all borders and probably one of the common traits of humankind.See for example, Bush's statement 'I am realistic enough to tell you that if India and China do not share the same aspiration,we are not going to solve the problem'. He was addressing the G8 summit at Tokaiko in Japan in July 2008. And the problem he was referring to was the CO2 emission. Height of coceit and hypocrcy. All these years, US was the biggest offender and now he is talking of India and China. He has made a gaping hole in the Ozone layer. Already, polar icebergs are melting. Rains, heat and cold have dramatically changed. Instead of trying to help the earth get out of the mess he has created, he is pointing fingers at others. It is not to absolve India of the responsibilities. Only now,the country as a whole is starting to use cars and air conditioners. And already eco-groups are taking up the cause. Emission norms are being followed. Instead of supporting those initiatives, Bush is trying to prsent these two as the culprits. He has not yet signed the Kyoto protocol on emissions
