  Developing countries such as India and china have come been repeatedly criticized for their voracious appetite for energy thus contributing to increased pollution and rising oil prices. According to Bush (the soon to be replaced US president!) the improvement in eating habits of people in “ poorer ” countries such as India is responsible for food grain shortage and not the biofuel policy mess that he has crafted. Now India plans to form eight commissions to promote solar energy, energy efficiency and water conservation to mitigate damage to environment.

  India has recently rejected a proposal by US and Japan to replace national limits on industrial pollution by Kyoto limits. Being a developing country India is not subject to Kyoto protocol. Further India has amply demonstrated its commitment to reduce pollution by implementing the above mentioned process. As Indian minister Mr. Shyam Saran says “ This does demonstrate that we are prepared to be responsible global citizens and join others in a collaborative effort to deal with climate change ” . India has further appealed industrialized nations for emissions cuts and also requested for technological and monetary assistance for developing indigenous carbon reduction measures.
