Climate Change Summit in Cancun

The Climate Change Summit starts today in Cancun, Mexico. At this summit representatives from almost 200 countries come together to discuss global warming and how to lessen it effects. The articles I read on the Summit were very realistic, talking about past failures and how the main powers in the world, like Indian, China, and the US, are no longer implementing climate control policies. Much talk is going to be about getting poorer countries to limit deforestation. I find this funny because since the US, China and India have more money, you would think it would be easier for them to try and limit climate change and the greenhouse effect because of the resources at their disposal. Also a lot of the deforestation happens due to the richer countries involvement, like transporting oil and creating plantation lands. Another angle taken by some is the need to assimilate to the climate change. So pretty much these articles are saying that some people have given up trying and are now accepting the inevitable. But I suppose this is a plan of action that these nations have to consider because nothing that they have tried to implement or use has worked so far.
