Faced with the looming issue of global warming and the possibility of catastrophic worldwide climate changes, the United Nations (UN) has urged all member nations to conduct a meeting of the highest political level to come up with a comprehensive solution to the given problem.

The body also called for finance ministers of all concerned parties to be present so that a "win-win" solution can be forged. Given proper organization, the UN says, the international community has a good chance of saving the planet from the unthinkable by confronting the unavoidable.

The recent clamor to revitalize action against global warming was initiated by the United Kingdom in the wake of large ice shelves disintegrating in the Earth's poles. The sheets which have melted in the recent years have already amounted to a change in ecosystems in the Antarctic region.

"While the climate issue could follow the path of hand-ringing and despair, it was not the view of the group today. If the international community organized itself properly, the opportunities for dealing with the climate issue would be significant for mankind." says Timothy Wirth, president of the United Nations Foundation.

That, however is the easy part of the issue. Getting member states to compromise the use of fossil fuels and ultimately, their rate of production, is the biggest gridlock in the talks.
