Countries like India and China need to do something to address the environmental pollution issue?

India and China are powering ahead with their development projects, however it is time to address the environmental pollution issue. It is understandable that both these countries need energy to fuel their projects. However the fact remains at what cost? World over countries are adoptind major reforms to start out with technologies like coal trapping or research into reneweable energy resources like solar tidal and wind power.If these technologies are too costly, China and India would be capable of making it available at cheaper costs.It is high time that every country starts working on ways to reduce green house gas emissions and implement ways to save the earth.

I have lived in China for almost 10 years now, this place is polluted beyond your imagination, they don't have "clean" factories, in fact last year a chemical factory leaked into the Song Hua river up north, it was kept a secret until fish by the thousands started to wash up on shore, over 100 city water supplies were in danger of being contaminated, China's coal mines are the worst in the world, I ride the ferry across the river and people are throwing their trash over the sides, everyone is interested in the $$$ and no one cares about the environment, there is little chance in my mind of the Chinese getting interested in cleaning up the environment any time soon

Reply:You are right, we can spend spend spend but if countries like China, India and we can add Mexico and Brazil and a few others to this list don't do their part it's fruitless.
Reply:They can all send money to Al Bore and buy carbon credits. Then all the pollution will magically go away!
Reply:im pretty sure they know about global warming. i mean thoses two countires are very very smart. china is 2 smartest in the world and india the 3rd. and america the 13th. so they must have like light bulbs like we do and safe factories. i mean america is the top contributer to global warming so we should be the ones worrying about all the cars we have out on the roads.
Reply:Did you know that temperatures are constantly increasing - GASP- and falling and will continue to do so regardless of manmade pollution. So, no. And besides, the United States is the worlds largest polluter. Their needs to be a per capita limit, not a national limit.
