The COP26 conference is starting at Glasgow, Scotland on 31st October wherein the countries that signed the UNFCCC treaty which came into force in 1994 will congregate. This conference is of ultimate importance since it will deliberate on the issue of curbing climate change by reduction of emission of greenhouse gases which topic is becoming urgent considering the fact that the earth is warming at unprecedented rate.
It has to be stressed that the two largest emission culprits are China and United States and as such to bring about a radical reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, these two countries should not only pledge but also take rapid action on reduction in greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Mere deliberations will be of no use and urgent concrete action is required in order to prevent anomalous climatic occurrences such as cyclones, hurricanes, flooding, heat waves, wildfires and drought which have been scientifically proved to be a direct consequence of warming of the earth's surface.
Preferably it should be decided to phase out use of fossil fuels, by actually pledging the closure of specific greenhouse emitting coal-fired plants that are now in operation around the world.
