India has taken the first steps towards developing a national plan on tackling the effects of climate change.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh chaired a meeting of top government officials and environmental experts which agreed to draft a national policy by October.
But the body has not set any targets to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions.
India and China are among the world's largest polluters and are coming under international pressure to agree to mandatory emission cuts.

They have much bigger things to worry about than global warming! Like keeping the power on, and basic sewage systems and clean water.
Not that Europe, Japan, and Kyoto have done such a great job fulfilling their greenhouse emissions obligations.
And not that there should be such protocols or treaties to reduce climate change which could hinder development and put people out of jobs.
Yes. Like that old South Park episode. “I’m a little bit country, and I’m a little bit rock-n-roll!”

Global Warming is real — the primary cause however can be debated.
