| Summary/Abstract |
Global warming, as a suspected aspect of ongoing climate change, is now a matter of paramount concern but governments have found it very difficult so far to agree on the ways and means to limit it and even on the diagnosis of the situation because of the fears that measures to reduce "greenhouse" gas emissions will have negative effects on the economy. Major developing nations reject mandatory limits on their emissions which they regard as attempts by the richer states to hobble their progress. Dasarathi Bhuyan argues that the very philosophy of limitless economic growth is deeply flawed as it does not take into account the finite amount of natural resources and the relative fragility of our planetary ecosystem, which most religions warn us about.
