It's good to hear that India has voluntarily agreed to implement emission cut to the extent of 20-25% to the levels of year 2005 by year 2020. This is the step in the right direction just ahead of the Copenhagen summit on Global Warming and Climate Change where in representatives from 192 nations will be discussing ways and means to tackle alarming issues of Carbon emission worldwide.
Over a period of time, the developed nations have paid scant attention to the depleting ozone layer and rise in global temperatures. In the name of industrialisation, these developed countries have made our planet earth a riskier place to live for our future generations.
Developing nations like China and India are undertaking massive industrialisation drive and would also ultimately contribute to the global warming. A major percentage of the carbon emission in India is contributed due to coal based power plants and use of older technology which are not fuel efficient. With the announcement of Jairam Ramesh, Minister of State for Environment and Forest, Government of India that India will take steps to reduce carbon emission by making more use of renewable energy sources such as Solar, Wind, Biomass and Hydel energy, developing and using fuel efficient technologies to reduce emission levels.
