You picked a good quote, but I liked this one better:
"While greenhouse gas limiting proposals may cost the industrialized West trillions of dollars, it is the effect on the developing world’s poor that is being lost in this debate."
It reminded me of another issue. The other day I was reading something online by this idiot who wanted the minimum wage raised and he said, "With a raise in wages, we could afford to pay a little more at Wal-Mart."
Both of those are the same types of issues. If you ask me it's a basic concept. There are people in this world who CAN'T afford to reduce their CO2 emmissions, as well as there are people who CAN'T afford to spend more money at Wal-Mart.

I laughed out loud at the quotes from Time and Newsweek. And the NYT.
Anyway, global warming will be greatly reduced when the world's population is decimated by the massive, unavoidable famines of the 1970s.
