Today, the Financial Times reports that in spite of calls from the EU for more action by developing states on greenhouse gas emissions, India has rejected key scientific findings on global warming.
Needlessly raising alarm... preconceived notion... based on western media. Hmm, there's a lot of money to be made there.Jairam Ramesh, the Indian environment minister, accused the developed world of needlessly raising alarm over melting Himalayan glaciers.
He dismissed scientists’ predictions that Himalayan glaciers might disappear within 40 years as a result of global warming.
“We have to get out of the preconceived notion, which is based on western media, and invest our scientific research and other capacities to study Himalayan atmosphere,” he said.
