Global warming and PNG’s growth

IF anyone is worried about global warming, please understand that this is not the right time for Papua New Guinea to be speaking loudly about that.
I wish to share some thoughts with you all, especially with politicians and people in authority regarding global warming.
For a country like PNG to move to the next level of economic prosperity, for people to have employment opportunities and for the GDP to grow, there should be no opposition to any project proposed by any company or individual.
To understand this we should look at where we are in the world.
Have a look at the world around us, the other countries and the people running those countries, then divide those countries into well-developed and underdeveloped nations.
From this you will have a better idea of the living standards of people in those countries and their level or economic, social and environmental development.
Next question: When did those well-developed countries start developing? How long did it take them to develop? And what is their current situation?
Then ask yourself this question: Is my country PNG a developed country? Are people satisfied economically, socially and environmentally?
We create employment opportunities by encouraging the growth of development projects, manufacturing industries, processing plants.
How are all these projects designed and developed? People and companies look around for business opportunities from what is happening in that country or globally. Some people simply imitate or are coerced into saying what other countries are thinking for the benefit of those well-developed countries.
Global warming is caused by the increase in carbon dioxide on Earth’s surface, but is that a problem caused by countries like PNG?
Some well-developed countries are trying to get little countries like PNG to minimise global warming. Well-developed countries – not little countries like PNG which are still trying to develop – contribute most to global warming. So let us not stifle our development by following rules that will hold us back and delay our development.
We need innovative and creative people to drive PNG.
