Of course they are nothing but a bunch of commies. Canada, Russia, and the Scandinavian countries owe us big time for warming up their deep freeze style countries.
Yesterday it was "Men are mostly responsible, women mostly impacted".
Pack sand, all of you greenies.
Let me be first...BBWWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I prefer my watermelons round, inert, as a fruit, and not espousing Marxism.
Redistribution of wealth.
At least they are no longer pretending.
The more we give, the more they stay poor.
Self sufficiency is required. Eliminating foreign aid altogether would work better.
Let's pay off the debt by sending them all our Greens. Tell those countries they can employ them the way they want. Digging latrines and other forms of stoop labor.
Die.
Unpleasantly.
Once again, it's all about the money.
I believe that this is the same group that was complaining about the strip-burning of the Brazilian Rain Forests and lack of smokestack scrubbers on eastern European manufacturing plant. At that time they were accusing these developing countries of causing most of the damage to the environment. I guess they figured out that the US has deeper pockets.
"North is just using up the natural resources of the world for its own gain and its own benefit"
First, "global warming" is an unproven theory, against which a lot of scientific evidence is beginning to accumulate.
Second, the US has led the world in the development and application of anti-pollution devices and technologies. Think I read somewhere that, on our own, we're doing more to curb pollution and the creation of greenhouse gasses than most of the signatories to Kyoto.
Third, there has never been a net movement of wealth from the developing world to the West. Even in colonial times, the imperial powers put way more investment into their colonies than was ever extracted from those colonies. And today, with foreign aid, debt forgiveness, low-priced pharmaceuticals and free technology transfers, net gains by the developing world continue (and continue to be squandered by corrupt and incompetent governments).
I don't know why I even posted this. The kind of assinine comments coming from the envirowhackos doesn't even rate a response.
Any studies on the atmospheric impact of daily cooking fires?
If they don't want our industrialization, let's not send them any of the products of it, either: medicines, communications, charity, doctors, call centers...
Ayn Rand was right. We're in the middle of the Anti-Industrial Revolution.
Their pretzel shaped brains must make the most fascinating MRI/catscans - whichever applies.

According to another post today from Earthfiles on global warming, the weather we're having now on Earth is part of a 10,000 year cycle that alternates with 100,000 year ice ages.
I assume that the now-tropical poor nations were beneficairies of the warming trend before us. So they owe us for having to creep around in caves wearing skins we had to fight to obtain while they were having a relaxing day at the beach on all that sand..
Friends of the Earth hasn't understood a word since Adam Smith's Wealth was published.
In other news, the poor countries owe "lackadaisical debt" to rich nations for forcing them to provide the technology, products and wealth for the world while they sit back and complain it not enough.
Gee, you mean the hundreds of billions of dollars in aid we send today is not enough????
