It's time for our leaders to lead.

I'm tired of them saying that the US is the biggest polluter, that China will be the biggest polluter, that developed nations need to take the lead and that developing nations can't afford to do anything about climate change because they are too poor or funding wars or just trying to develop. Leadership is about taking responsibility. So far we haven't seen any leadership and no one is ready to take responsibility. It's time for our leaders to lead.

Global warming should be at the top of the agenda. The 800lb gorilla in the room that no-one wants to mention is population stabilization. This must become an integral part of tackling C02 emissions.
