Before the bell rings at COP15......,

APPEALING TO ALL PARTICIPANTS................ PL.HAVE THIS VITAL FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

In a few hours henceforth, the biggest mind boggling, ALL CORRIDORS FILLED ,thunderous, most debatable, vociferous question would be ‘who shall pay how much for cutting emissions?’ which question may make or mar COP15.

In my layman’s perspective, ‘let the erstwhile polluters pay’ is the basic and fundamental rule to arrive at the best solution.

Then, naturally question arise in every mind -‘who polluted most the earthly safe atmosphere and brought it to the edge of crumbling? ‘if the principle of ‘let polluters pay’ accepted by all.

Identifying the ‘erstwhile polluters’ and the level to which they polluted can be carried out by impact assessment norms already fixed for ‘climate change’ and ‘global warming’, sea level rise etc.

How much it would cost to restore everything to 1992 levels of pre-Kyoto protocol. As per their respective proportion of penalty to be levied for their ‘past sins of polluting mother earth’, the restoration cost has to be paid on annualized basis till such time the restoration process is continued .

The UNDP like international body would set up the high power committee to be the ‘watch dog’ of these processes and the penalty fund that accrued would be proportionately distributed among the beneficiary nations to alleviate their man made poverty that was created by all past direct activities of the super powers that led to total/partial depletion of natural resources such as rain forests cover, biodiversity, water, minerals and so on.

People world over know who built maximum ships, enjoys cozy houses, reads metric tons of printed volumes (that contributed to depletion of tree-cover), built sky scrapper- hi- rise concrete jungles, manufactured and runs millions of automobiles, air conditioners, ammunition, arsenals and all that increased carbon levels and GHG emissions heating the atmosphere, and destroying heavenly environments of rain forests, mountains,valleys ,rivers,seas and all water bodies for their seer tourism- pleasures to the annihilation of food security of local inhabitants depended on such natural resources like fish, fruits, food grains, forest produces etc.

Who committed, how much of such ‘sins’ be measured and accordingly let the sinful polluters, be it an individual or country or nation or continent, pay for the proportionate cost of restoration to normalcy wherever possible or build up alternate renewable resources so as to guarantee the affected peoples’ livelihood forever.

Let not the polluters be allowed any longer to pollute further at their own will and pleasure, however powerful bigger brothers they are.

Let COP15 help draw the rules of this game for the ‘eternity of mother earth’.
