In the meantime let's stall the world economy to clean up the environment. This of course will lead to huge famines as the industrial world (namely the US) will not have the excess capital to help jump start the third world countries or provide them aid.

The human rights lens shows populations becoming increasingly vulnerable to poverty and social deprivation as large tracts of previously fertile land become useless.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://webdiary.com.au/cms/?q=node/2393"><P>
What’s more, the human rights lens brings into focus the reality that the world's poor and marginalised, all too often women and children, will be disproportionately affected by climate change – they are more exposed to disasters and have much lower capacity to cope with them – exacerbating existing social inequity at both the local and international level.
