"I went to Copenhagen not to save the world, but our national interest. My mandate was not to save humanity but to protect our national interest of faster economic growth. "
In India climate change is about development, not environment unlike in the developed countries"
Jairam Ramesh, December 22, 2009
Contrast this to his saying that India is the most vulnerable country as far as climate change is concerned. (actually read the text of the impact that he details in the parliament before he went to Copenhagen)
Am sure he had his compulsions..but yeah it was disappointing, --especially when he said that For India climate change is not about environment, it is about development..i think that's basically wrong. climate change is about us-our survival--name it what you will--
