Read the following passage and answer the question nos. 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.
