The only offer on the table in Copenhagen would condemn the developing world to poverty and suffering in perpetuity
In the ninth day of the Copenhagen climate summit, Africa was sacrificed. The position of the G77 negotiating bloc, including African states, had been clear: a 2C increase in average global temperatures translates into a 3–3.5C increase in Africa. That means, according to the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance, "an additional 55 million people could be at risk from hunger", and "water stress could affect between 350 and 600 million more people".

Oh yes, by all means, do let us provide even more money for the pathologically corrupt members of the African bloc. 400 billion? Why not 900 billion? Mugabe alone could go through that amount without too much stress!
