  1. Most third world countries are not having a big effect on global warming. Right now it is the U.S.A, and we need to concentrate on impeaching some people we all know. Bush actually didn't even let California try to lower their emissions. He STOPPED them from doing something good!


  2. LOL. Oh don't worry that mud house will be environmentally friendly in no time. I think that we should focus on getting people of third world countries fed, clothed and healthy before we deal w/ their global warming needs.

  3. There are few companies or organisations that are there specifically to assist with this issue.  I would like to stand corrected on this!

    Major Western companies, such as car makers from Europe building cars in China, Thailand and son on can lead the way in showing how better environmentally friendly techniques work in their industries, but it will take a lot of time, and it may be almost impossible, to convince many third world countries that the cost of environmental responsibility is worth it.  

    Much of the attempts by the developed world to work in this area has been paternalistic, and is easily resented and ignored) by countries like China.  While it might seem reasonable to us to jump up and down and insist that China, as a major example of a largely third world country with a rapidly developing manufacturing and energy base, clean up it's act, they will pay some lip service and then usually go full steam ahead with what they were already doing.

  4. The wonderful thing about third world economies developing as they are today is that they bypass many of the worst parts of the industrial revolution.

    Technology is improving efficiency every day.  Up and coming economies will have the advantages of polution control technologies that were simply not available to the western world decades ago.  Nearly every company that is developing new inovative processes and technologies is improving the long term conditions of the third world.  

    And as economies grow and compete waste of any kind becomes a liability on profit, not because of regulation or governmental threats, but because an efficient manufacturing process is more profitable than an inefficient one.

    As stated above, the environmental problems of the third world are not the fact that the Earth goes through natural climate cycles, it is mostly that their governments are too unstable to allow for private property rights, which is the foundation of economic stability.

    When you own the property, every day is earth day.
