Korea to Cut Greenhouse Gas by 4% by 2020
summay:
Korea will announce its long-term goal of reducing greenhouse gas.
Committee is seeking to cut the country's combined carbon emissions by 4 percent by 2020 from 2005.
reaction:
Reducing greenhouse gas is so wonderful.
What Korea take the head the good movement is so proud.
But reducing by 4% is the maximum level to developing country.
So, is there any need to overdo like that in our condition?
Reducing by 4% is so excess in our condition.
Why did Committee decide excessly?
Recently I read a book two times, that title is "Bad samarians"
After I read that book, I was very concerned about the relation developed countries and developing countries. According that book, developed countries insist on developing their own country with right way to developing country.(Of course, to develop their own country with right and fair way is so good, but developed country just didn't develope with right and fair way. After they used unfair way, they insistet on fair way to developed country. It's a "Kicking away the Ladder" theory. After they used a ladder, they kicked the ladder, because of not climbing any other country.)
Anyway, I think I'm a environmentalist just a little.
I concerned about our environment.
I'm so confused between two way.
