Game on.

The Copenhagen climate meeting had been described as a failure, with the great polarity in opinions, perspectives, and national priorities, and disagreements over the procedures.

Many countries, especially developing countries, were unwilling to deepen cuts, or even maintain their committed cuts on carbon emission, while the developed countries felt there was a need to for all to play a part in saving the world.

Many disagreements and heated arguments ended in unexpected situations of leaders leaving the room halfway between talks. It as highly complicated talk, with no finalized decision.

Many countries also were unhappy that it was the BASIC (Brazil, America, South Africa, India and China) group of countries that decided for the world what should be done in a final hurried political statement.

It seems that countries are unwilling to look at the big picture of saving the Earth, instead, focusing on protecting their individual country rights. They did not want to contribute to a global effort in the expense of their own development.

It is a wonder why this situation didn't happen during the cold war when Russia competed against US on who can be fastest to put a man up in space. After all, astrology cannot help develop a country?

Of course, as we all know, it is a competition to prove the countries' power and abilities. If global emission cuts can be also be a subject of competition amongst the countries like back then, then unwillingness wouldn't be present.

What Mr Obama should do during the Copenhagen summit is to look straight right into Chinese Premier Wen Jia Bao's eye and say in a serious tone, "Mr Wen, America is going to beat China in saving the world. We will have a deeper emission cuts than you. Game on." (Wink)

Following that, China will compete with America to prove its global leadership position and responsibility as superpower to save the Earth. India will compete with China, Brazil will compete with India, Japan with Brazil, and Russia with Japan, and so on...

Game on.
