Gorbachev's call for leaders' action

Comments on Mikhail Gorbachev “Tear down wall blocking our future”, 9/11/2009, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/tear-down-wall-blocking-our-future/story-e6frg6zo-1225795880053

Mr Gorbachev is a man to be remembered as accidentally contributed to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the former USSR and the East Bloc.

He did not set out to do those, but what he did, or in another word – his remarkable failures in reforming the former USSR, was the key major factor that finally resulted those to occur.

Did that represent his poor judgment back then? The answer is most likely yes.

Now he is calling for world leaders to act on climate change.

Is his judgment right now? No one knows, for now.

But actions taken to reduce the use of fossil fuels will be good in the long run, irrespective whether emissions contribute to global warming or not, because fossil fuels are limited resources.
