E.U. Climate Chief Says U.N. Talks Hinge on 2015 Deal 

By: Karl Ritter


What are we going to do about global warming? It almost seems like nothing concrete is occurring. (Ritter) In Warsaw, Poland, a U.N. conference was a just completed about the climate and what the future plans should be. "The European Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard says the process needs to provide a "substantial answer" to global warming in two years to remain relevant." (Ritter 1). All of these questions are being asked and there is no complete answer. If this uncertainty keeps on occurring the U.N. needs to start having more meetings about the climate. People are now suggesting that all of the topics spoken during the conference should be broken up into pieces to get more ideas out and things done. All of this carbon gas is warming the planet and the U.N. has completely failed to do something effective. "Besides those emissions, the U.N. talks deal with a range of complex issues, including monitoring and verification of climate actions, accounting rules, and helping developing countries cope with sea level rise, desertification and other climate impacts as they transition to clean energy". (Ritter 1). These developing countries need work in industrialization, not more and improved technology. (Ritter)

During this conference, countries were arguing throughout the course of two weeks and ended in a complete unknown. (Ritter) There were no concrete or set ideas that were settled in this conference. These countries were speaking about the way to do things and simple explanations that should not be irrelevant when making plans about climate. Meanwhile, local and national governments are making many efforts to reduce carbon energy and increase efficiency. (Ritter) In fact, this year, China and the United States decided to partner up to help with energy efficiency. "The U.N. is the one place where all countries come together and everyone has a voice. World leaders simply need to set their sights higher and empower their teams to engage in a more constructive way. Without much greater ambition and action, we will soon be headed to a far more turbulent and dangerous world". (Jennifer Morgan).
