"I voted for the resolution on the Climate Change Conference in Doha, because it recognises that climate change represents an urgent and irreversible threat to human societies and the planet, and it proposes a legally binding international agreement based on the principle of ‘common but differentiated responsibilities’, and recognises that the scientific information does not leave much margin for postponement. Our primary and crucial task is to continue our efforts at all levels, even in the bleak circumstances surrounding us, to prevent at least part of the geoclimatic disturbance. At Doha, the planet’s leaders must ‘take the bull by the horns’ and reach substantial, workable decisions, as the resolution proposes, and must sacrifice their short-term growth for the benefit of the environment, because already we are all experiencing the dire consequences of climate change. The Doha Conference, however, must not refer the matter to the next international conference, as usually happens; commitments must be made, with a specific schedule for reducing emissions, and there must be more than vague political talk about reducing them. Besides, ecology and economics can coexist. We must not renew the right to cause destruction for the benefit of the few."@en1
