I will stop here because I think the point is clear. Unless we are prepared to pay the Namibians, the Brazilians and the rest of nature ’s guardians for keeping their land undeveloped and pure so the rest of us doesn’t have to worry about global warming , the extinction of millions of species and were to go for a retreat . We can’t expect the less developed and educated to make sacrifices for us and not to trade their on resources and with it their environment for the promise of a better life. A life in luxury and comfort on day into the future. No more famine , schools for the children, better health care and jobs for all isn’t it a legitimate dream or better a human right. If we want the developing world to stop depleting their resources for money (and our own sake) than we have to pay them accordingly. Brazil should recieve a global tax for providing the oxgen we need and if we want to enjot the desert of Namibia we should pay Namiba for not taking the Uranium out of the ground. We got to match the annual revenues lost dollar for dollar. But just to think about it ,will we have enough cheap energy in the future without the nuclear fuel from Namibia and will we be able to keep our own economies growing and making enough profit to pay for the luxury of a trip to the desert once in a while?
Hope our children will be bright enough to solve all the problems they are going to inherit from us!!
