The Climate Summit and Maldives - COP15

The world is gearing up for the summit that can literally conclude the future of the world.The Conference of Parties summit number 15 will be held in Copenhagen in December 2009.This will be the summit where 4 major issues that concern Maldives will also be decided:
1-Will the new President Mohammed Nasheed attend the summit with the talks of lack of funding in the government budget?
2-As one of the major contributors to Climate Change and its adverse effects;Will the USA sign onto the new document that will succeed the Kyoto Protocol that USA previously refused to sign onto?
3-Will there be same or harsher penalties for Developing countries that emit large amounts of CO2 or will it be the richer countries who pay?
4-Will the 350.org campaign succeed and Mr.Bill Mc.Kibben and a lot of scientific support given minimum amount of CO2 in the atmosphere of 350parts per million be the new limit that the world works to meet?

Well these are all major issues concerning the Maldives. For one thing our leader should be there for the sake of all small island nations. While we have been lucky and blessed to have such richness compared to many low lying vulnerable nations, our democratically elected leader in my opinion should be there for all of us.His presence alone will be a powerful statement.

The USA is one of the leading CO2 emmiters and their signing on can be a turning point in the global warming crisis.While they argue developing countries burn more fossil fuel and release as much CO2 the argument is futile when one claims to be of greater intellect and power.I believe things have to proven in action not just words. Again Maldives becomes key as our president has unprecedented access to Chinese and Indian government and politicians and a ;leverage the Americans don't have. Mr.Nasheed could be the negotiator that can actually strike a common deal between China India and America as the worlds largest Co2 emmiters to sign on to an agreement.This can be world history that future generations will always look back in awe and love and thankfulness.

350.org campaign by the writer Bill Mc.Kibben is being a greater force that can greatly benefit the world. Reducing the global CO2 levels in the atmosphere and maintaining can actually be the only solution that low lying islands like Maldives has. If we are to give a blind eye and call him a fool then it is our future that we gamble. Will we do that? Of course not! 350ppm is the minimal level at which the world can survive and prosper that has been scientifically proven. Right now we are beyond that limit and it can also be easily reversed and decreased with a common understanding and practices. Hence Maldives has to see to it that 350 campaign is a success.
All in all Maldivians do not know about the goings on of the world on the Climate Change arena as the previous dictatorship had a nasty habit of withholding information.
