It's great to see that there are others who really care about what's happening! I have also decided to reduce my impact on the enviroment as well as my family and friends had.
I do thinks that we were all needing of such a "meeting", and I trust in every country to go and discuss objectively as this issue concerns us all; and I hope that next year, every country in the world have a non-pollutant policy to respect!
I have also noticed worring climate changes here in Uruguay. First, this winter hasn't been that cold as usually, not only that, but last summer was impossible! We were situated on an average of 32-33 degrees at midday every common summer day, but that situation has changed! Temperatures have increased to 36-37 degrees! And only in a couple of years!

When we think about climate change, we all comment on the temperature increasing, sea levels rising, trees being cut down, etc. but this are all consequences or aspects of a major cause: CO2.
Industrialized countries, specially the USA, are the ones who contribute moreto climate change,but at least they are now trying to reduce those levels in order to reduce the impact.
Nowbody expects human beings to start living again with no energy, water, gas, etc. in order to stop contaminating, but there must be other methods to live without human-made CO2.
For example, lets thinks about the idea of cars workingwith hydrogen, this idea must be developed right now! and industries shouldn't think of this as a way of earning more money.. those cars should be available to eveyone who believes in possible changes...
But lets also think what facotries should start doing... There must be an international law to control those who work on contaminating conditions, because if it already exist one is not taking action. But also for not-industrialized countries, such as Argentina, which has dozens of pollutant factories and is not precisely doing something....
