Nope I have a very cynical view of the world.
- You do know that all the world's major cities (rich and poor) are all built in low-lying areas and are at great threat from rising sea levels,
hmm?
I am aware of that fact and the countries that suffer from less corrupation and have more $$ will have the means deal with rising sea levels.
Then you will be aware that that those countries need to find soulations then selvs mayabe we should stop giving aid money but if that happened the
world might actually give a toss about the people in geniune need.
- There is but one world.
Whilst you may care little for the people in those third world countries you might at least notice that the world's lungs (the great forests) are
mainly situated there.
I have noticed that to and once again first world countries waste aid money notice how the Amazon is disappering? We cant force these people to stop
bulldozing the Amazoning. Even if rising sea levels dont flood the Amazon humans will wipe it out by themselvs.
- What makes you think either are going to be especially favourable to habitation on such a massive scale with rising temperatures (ie greater and
growing desertification) and rising sea-levels (which affects the underground water tables no matter what you do with sea walls)?
My guess is we will look towards GE & GM crops as a part of the soulation that is if governments over come excessive caution.
We all say we care about poor people and the environment but in the next instance we buy coffee and other products that harm the environment and do
nothing for poor people.
If first world countries find the means of exploiting natural resouces in those countries then people might care under the pretences of helping
people.
