Copenhagen

I once coupled the climate problem and alternative energies into my main focus for pursuing science. This has since changed in the wake of more interesting subjects, but the fate of Earth still yearns for discussion. Regardless of if humans are causing climate change, or whether there is a global climate transition, it is manifesting world tensions. Industrialized countries wish to continue their prosperity and developing countries wish to reach prosperity. Both camps want to throw responsibility on the other, but to no avail. The only countries for which the issue seems awfully apparent are the islands facing flooding in the future.
It may be the case that Earth is going through a climate change stage in her life. If this is the case then we do not have the means to reverse warming. However with all climate predictions, chaos inherently trifles with the results, so preventive measures are always called for. We may not make an impact, but then again we could, and should attempt to do so.
I don't see any fair way to go about placing responsibility, discussion...?
