Seizing the opportunity at Copenhagen

There are very few times world leaders get the opportunity to impact the entire human kind. Copenhagen provides this opportunity to leaders of both the developed and developing world.
Everyone realizes the damaging impact human race is making on earth. We should not end up being the dinosaurs, who once upon a time existed. The way we hate bad periods of history, our future generations should not curse us for an opportunity lost. To achieve something, we will have to loose something. If the developed nations believe they can still continue to be a consumer society and be guided with principles which dictate greed and needs only, then we are not far from extinction.

If the developing world believes their past has been good and they will never turn into consumer driven economies, then we are turning our backs to truth. The BRIC countries are already demonstrating some of the vulgarities of high consumerism.

I can only wish for the world leaders to have large hearts in Copenhagen. A large heart to consider the need for the existence of human race.
