Governments shun climate change for the foreseeable future
These governments, including the U.S. and UK, have said that no new treaties concerning climate change and alternative energy will be made until 2020. The European Union, one of the staunchest advocates for alternative energy and environmentalism in the world, has also accepted this notion. The United Nations continues to warn of the potentially disastrous consequences of non-action, but supports developed countries in their turning away from climate change.
Climate change has been put on the back burner for many of the world’s richest governments.

The issue of climate change is hotly contested all over the world. Scientists and economists have warned of the catastrophes that a changing climate would produce, but their warnings have yet to be heeded by world leaders. Developing nations are outraged at the recent development. South Africa has been more outspoken concerning what the government calls “reckless and irresponsible” behavior from other countries.
