I am not saying that the rich are not affected by these phenomena, but they have better houses, better building structures, and there are more options open to them once their house collapses. That is how I look at the terrible tragedy in Gujarat. Of course we have time. But the problem is that, while we have been holding talks and negotiations on climate change, emissions have been shooting up in all countries. The only contrary example is that of the former Soviet Union where emissions have collapsed.
