Well I suppose the governments of the world have to do something - they certainly need to and sooner rather than later, as the longer the delay the bigger the pain. Seems that the Indian sub-continent is taking some note of the problem. As an emerging nation it doesn't want to see it's efforts and progress destroyed for lack of attention to this global problem. Of more concern is the Chinese economy which is expanding at an alarming rate with pollution running in tandem. Apparently China opens a new coal-fired power station every 10 days, and the country is set to surpass the USA as the no.1 polluter in a matter of months rather than years - a dubious accolade!
