Global Warming: White Man's Problem

It should be no surprise that developing countries such as India and China are flatly rejecting the global warming alarms of the do-as-we-say West. Given the choice between growth or starvation, who can blame them?

In fact Western warmists are despairing that they will ever get anybody to "save the planet" now. They used to have the village idiot Bush to blame, but now that they have elected one of their own, nothing is changing. And the rest of the world is just ignoring them.

Shikha Dalmia writes at Reason Online:
So what should climate warriors do? Right now the only certain way to save lives is by calling off this misguided war on climate change. If and when climate change promises to claim more casualties than poverty and starvation, the world will begin heeding their calls. If, however, these climate-change casualties don't materialize, there would have been no need to act in the first place. Either way, the world has far more immediate and scarier problems than climate change to address right now.
Amen.
