For the first time in history the United Nations Security Council has dealt with climate change. According to the board climate change will change the course of history and the destiny of nations. The Council fears that about 200 million people might end up as refugees due to droughts and flood.

The Council however emphazises the possibilities of climate change for mankind: "Climate change can unite us, if we are bright enough not to become divided by this challenge", the British foreign secretary, Margaret Beckett said. Criticism came from the so called developing countries that hold the majority of UN member states. They see the Security Council as represantative of the Western States and their global dominance. Climate change is a subject for the General Assembly of the United Nation, not for the Security Council they say.This is why leaders like the President of Uganda, Yoweri Musevini, finds hard words against the Nations that form the Council: "Global warming is an aggression you cause. Alaska and Sibiria will be fit for agriculture but what will happen to Africa?"
