This belongs in the conspiracy sub-forum. I haven't seen a bigger and more ludicrous load of crap for a while.
Let me get this straight. Developed nations are to blame for deleterious economic effects to less developed nations, and they just so happen to occur unevenly only in poorer nations? BS.
Yeah, put that in the conspiracy forum unless someone can back that up with proven science. Otherwise I'd say the warming would affect everyone equally. Poorer nations just have less resources to cope. We are not setting up a world government for their benefit b/c the planet is now entering a more inhospitable zone of the galaxy.
Desertification will affect some areas, flooding others, some areas that used to depend on skiing for tourism will be left out in the sun with tourist economies dried up, etc. California is sure to shrivel up and die. Why should Californians have to pay for Africa's problems, when they are going to have problems of their own?
What a bunch of hog wash.
To top it all off, nobody has ever conclusively proved that this isn't all -just a function of the position of the solar system vis-a-vie the galactic core rather than man's introduction of heavy industry.
Climactic disruptions have happened before, they will happen again. Ask the Vikings, ask the Pueblos, ask the Mayans, ask the ancient Egyptians . . . . oh wait. . . . nm. Civilizations and cultures grow and shrink because of climate change, it is a natural part of history, they shouldn't be trying to tax other civilizations to survive. They need to evolve or perish.
