Big polluters must take action on climate change

A recent United Nations report stated that climate change problems were getting worse and coming faster and a global effort had to be taken now, but is carbon pricing the answer?

The world’s four biggest carbon emitters are doing almost nothing to reduce their emissions. China, the U.S., India and Russia might say they believe in climate change but then do nothing to prevent it. We all have to do something but if the world’s 4 biggest polluters are doing nothing the chances of the rest of us accomplishing much is slim.

The UN report is a start but there has to be action taken. An emergency UN meeting needs to take place. All four countries say they believe in climate change so find out what they think is the best way. Maybe it is a carbon tax or maybe something else.

Whatever it is then the rest of us can join in and truly make it a plan for the world. Larry Prout, Clonsilla Ave.
