Greenhouse bluff!

The mighty US did not sign the Kyoto protocol and the subsequent agreements on global warming, demising the calibrate rituals and pseudo science (press reports), although it generates the largest percentage of environmental pollution. On preemptive military strikes also, it has defied the UN system. There is none to tame the US to toe the global agreements.

Scientific bluffing through sustained propaganda is one of the old tricks of the imperialist nations. The Yankees are trying to reincarnate a new version of the old British Empire. The pre-conditionalities imposed by the foreign donor agencies is a farce (subjective advantage).

The Saarc region can easily hit back at the dying industrialised nations by concentrating on regional trade and business--enough scope for catering to the needs of one and a half billion people. In RMG we have the upper hand, as well as in some raw materials. It is a game of strategy, depending on internal cooperation.

Are we game for it?
