Also Known As "How to get everyone in the developed world to hate the climate change agenda". Except deluded leftie loons, that is.
Reuters brings us the news of a report, drawn up by Christian Aid, that points the finger against industrialized nations, "historically responsible" for global warming and "morally liable" to bear the costs incurred in the eventual cleanup.
How humanitarian, taking the unbearable onus off the shoulders of developing nations (ahem, China included). How fair, finally establishing justice and fairness the world over. How long-sighted, taking into account everything from history to oppression. How stupid!
Such gibberish is exactly what the climate debate doesn't need. Underdeveloped nations wouldn't bear the cost anyway, since there isn't much emission in the first place. What counts is the reduction in PRESENT emissions. Arguing about who should do what (and how much should be paid) based on history lends the debate to complete polarization, resulting in the collapse of whatever framework we could have established earlier.
Thanks Christian Aid, for setting the climate change debate back a thousand eons.
