Enviro-disconnect: Climate change and poverty « Hot Air: "I am truly irked when environmentalists look at poor communities and third-world countries as laboratories for their wildest green fantasies. There is nobody — nobody — who would benefit more from cheap, abundant, and reliable energy sources than poverty-stricken communities. While environmentalists often look at prosperity as the enemy of environmental quality, the opposite is actually true — third-world countries are some of the worst environmental offenders because they have neither the resources nor the luxury to consider their ecological impact."
