Read the following passage
carefully and answer the questions 11 to 15:
Radically changing monsoon
patterns, reduction in the winter rice harvest and a quantum increase in
respiratory diseases all part of the environmental doomsday scenario which is
reportedly playing out in South Asia. According to a United Nations Environment
Programme report, a deadly three-kilometer deep blanket of pollution comprising
a fearsome, cocktail of ash, acids, aerosols and other particles has enveloped
in this region. For India, already struggling to cope with a drought, the
implication of this are devastating and further crop failure will amount to a
life and death question for many Indians. The increase in premature deaths will
have adverse social and economic consequences and a rise in morbidities will
place an unbearable burden on our crumbling health system. And there is no one to
blame but ourselves. Both official and corporate India has always been allergic
to any mention of clean technology. Most mechanical two wheelers roll of the
assembly line without proper pollution control system. Little effort is made
for R&D on simple technologies, which could make a vital difference to
people's lives and the environment.
However, while there is no
denying that South Asia must clean up its act, skeptics might question the
timing of the haze report. The Kyoto meet on climate change is just two weeks
away and the stage is set for the usual battle between the developing world and
the West, particularly the Unites States of America. President Mr. Bush has
adamantly refused to sign any protocol, which would mean a change in American
consumption level. U.N. environment report will likely find a place in the U.S.
arsenal as it plants an accusing finger towards controls like India and China.
Yet the U.S.A. can hardly deny its own dubious role in the matter of erasing
trading quotas.
Richer countries can simply
buy up excess credits from poorer countries and continue to pollute. Rather
than try to get the better of developing countries, who undoubtedly have taken
up environmental shortcuts in their bid to catch up with the West, the USA
should take a look at the environmental profigacy, which is going on within.
From opening up virgin territories for oil exploration to relaxing the
standards for drinking water, Mr. Bush's policies are not exactly beneficial,
not even to America's interests. We realize that we are all in this together
and that pollution anywhere should be a global concern otherwise there will
only be more tunnels at the end of the tunnel.
