 What the World Needs Now is CooperationPosted by Guest Blogger | November 17, 2009
What the World Needs Now is Cooperation By Jake Roach, Lindale High School The old song, “What the World Needs Now is Love”, can be changed, just a little, to “What the World Needs Now is Cooperation”. Two of the major problems surrounding our world would be both poverty and climate change. Most people would not think of these to problems coinciding with one another, but as we see they both do relate to one another, and the United Nations is trying to slow both down at the same time. In the Division for Sustainable Development, under Chapter 9, Agenda 21, the UN states, “that activities that may be undertaken in pursuit of the objectives defined therein should be coordinated with social and economic development in an integrated manner, with a view to avoiding adverse impacts on the latter, taking into full account the legitimate priority needs of developing countries for the achievement of sustained economic growth and the eradication of poverty.” The United Nations is encouraging everyone’s activites to be friendly to both poverty and climate change. The question is, however, is this possible? Is it possible to eliminate poverty while combating climate change at the same time? Only if we, as a nation and as a world, make a large effort to help achieve this goal. So, it is possible. The reason so many people around the world are in poverty, and the reason climate change looks unstoppable, is because we as a world are not doing enough to help eliminate both of these serious issues. What we are doing now to illiminate poverty is not even close to enough. It is proven that the world has enough food for everyone to have the right amount of calories each year. Even though, with the United States, Japan, and other nations are making more fuel efficient cars, it is not even making a dent in climate change. The United Nations can not do this on their own. Let’s help, let us help eliminate both poverty and climate change, now. What’s wrong with making an effort to feed that starving child, or to keep our world clean?

Of course,result will be slow at initial stage,but still need to move on.Follow up,continue to educate & improvement are the key action in order to get a better result.The "well known" leader & people in the world must lead the way as human tend to follow or "copy" their behavious.A constant reminder on this issue is another "must do" action.I believe every one can do it.......

Whwn I read blogs like this I am amazed how stupid people are. What was referred to as Global warming is now talked about as "Climate change". Please educate yourself. So called climate change has taken place for centuries and human developed emissions has almost no effect. What you are advocating by lowering our quality standards in the USA is nothing more than communism. Socalism and Communism has never suceeded anywhere and resulted in the death of hundreds of millions. If you are talking about saving people in Africa from starvation, how do you save people from themselves. There are over 23 million people in Africa with HIV or Aids, 100 percent fatal. In America in 200 years we put a man on the moon, in 2000 years people in Africa are still urinating in thier bath water. How do you educate people that will not learn? This isn't about race, it's about looking out and helping yourself, freedom and capitalism, which works and has given us the highest standard of living in history. Have you actually read what the United Nations is about? It's about control. If this course of action by the UN continues, you will be a slave. Quit being a sheep, educate yourself more than watching CNN, those who don't learn from history are bound to repeat it.
