Surat Dari Tuhan

G8 Ministers Endorse Greenhouse Gas Cuts by 2050

The G8 leadership has used very careful language in the statement. They have expressed ‘political will’ to cut green house gases but have not vowed anything concrete. This is what has been happening over the years, right from the days of Rio Earth Summit in 1992. Talks have been converted to action on very rare occasions. To some extent, it is understandable as we know that bulk of the pollution is caused by the industry which is directly related to the national economy in any country. So in case the economy gets affected and the general population suffers, the political leadership is bound to be overthrown. That is why the so called ‘political will’ has remained only in papers so far as a politician’s vision is myopic in most of the cases. The earth’s temperature has increases by 0.74 ± 0.18 °C over the last hundred years. So this target of 2050 may actually be too late and all the icebergs might melt even before that! This initiative is heartening, but let’s hopes that they stick to their words and the developing nations also follow suit. After all, disaster doesn’t recognize boundaries!

Bahwa mobilku hanya titipan Nya,
Bahwa rumahku hanya titipan Nya,
Bahwa hartaku hanya titipan Nya,
Bahwa putraku hanya titipan Nya,

Mungkin Saya Sendiri Juga Maling

Kita hampir paripurna menjadi bangsa porak-poranda, terbungkuk dibebani hutang dan merayap melata sengsara di dunia. Penganggur 40 juta orang, anak-anak tak bisa bersekolah 11 juta murid, pecandu narkoba 6 juta anak muda, pengungsi perang saudara 1 juta orang, VCD koitus beredar 20 juta keping, kriminalitas merebat di setiap tikungan jalan dan beban hutang di bahu 1600 trilyun rupiahnya.
