| China's moment in the sun | 22-NOV-09 |
|

| Climate of confusion | 20-NOV-09 |
|
| When authoritative spokespersons of the government speak in different voices on an issue, what ensues is utter confusion. This is, indeed, the state of affairs regarding the government’s (read India’s) stand on climate change less than a month prior to the crucial global summit on this subject in Copenhagen. The divergent utterances by environment and forests minister Jairam Ramesh and Prime Minister’s special envoy on climate change Shyam Saran have created a good deal of ambiguity within and outside the country over the government’s strategy for these talks. Worse still, this confusion has been confounded by the release of a document by Ramesh on Himalayan glaciers which, inter alia, disputes the claim that these glaciers are shrinking fast and that this phenomenon was linked to global warming. |
