Many efforts are being set to reduce the catrastophics events that are close to occur as consequence of climate change: Australia is banning the use of incandescent light bulbs, western states of America are planning to cut their states emissions of gases...While others as Mr. Al Gore proclaim the reduction of the use of electricity when in fact his electricity bill is the most expensive among the average of the upper class families! What can we infer from this? Are all this measures being adopted as an hypocritical way to say "My country is doing its utmost to prevent the end of an inhabitable planet!" I reckon that this is not a race between countries or even continents to see which has the best scores, but more a question of whether they are accomplishing their results. The well being of a planet is at stake! And your country could be, indeed, the next to suffer the consequences of global warming.

I hear you. Slowly we're awakening to the fact that we must take personal steps to help ameliorate the effects of our everyday choices on global warming. One way that is not often discussed is becoming vegetarian or, even better, vegan.
Look into it yourself and see what you find. Then let me know what you come across! This UN report is a place to start.
