A
family of labourers warm themselves in front of a bonfire made of waste
paper, as smoke from a thermal power plant rises in the backdrop, in New
Delhi, India. So development as we know it clearly does not benefit
everybody. Through 10 years of global boom and bust, of breakneck change
around the planet, of terrorism, war and division, all people everywhere
are facing one threat together: the buildup of greenhouse gases, the
rise in temperatures, the danger of a shifting climate, of drought,
weather extremes and encroaching seas, of untold damage to the world
humanity has created for itself over millennia. (AP)
