Russia wants to sell its gas emission quotas

The World Summit on Sustainable Development is finishing its work in Johannesburg today. Media outlets lost their interest in the summit two days after it began. Ecologists claimed that the summit was a celebration of selfishness and greediness. As it was expected, the large summit did not solve any of the world's problems. The heads of almost 100 countries of the world failed to come to consent on how to relieve the world from hunger, poverty, illnesses, and the total pollution of the environment. The Russian leadership managed to concoct how to save the world's ecology and earn money for the country's budget.

Interesting how Greenpeace and those other groups keep demanding that someone else do something for the world's poor. Why don't they put their money where their mouth is and start a development fund or something?

These loons could have feed all the poor in Johannesburg for decades with all the money that was spent on feeding all themselves at this summit. Would make a good cartoon of all these elitists idiots feasting away on lobster and cavier while discussing solving the world hunger problem meanwhile thousands of people just down the street are starving.

"Interesting how Greenpeace and those other groups keep demanding that someone else do something for the world's poor."

This is the typical liberal philosophy. Dodge all responsibility yourself and find someone else to hang it on.

They are always the people in a company that find tasks for OTHER workers to do.

One billion dollars, they spent on this summit, so they could pontificate on the evils of waste and greed.
