You've obviously led a very sheltered life eeyore and have not seen much of the world and its problems. I suggest you take a break and go to India, China, Africa and even parts of America (as I have done several times) and tell the real sufferers how cosy they're having it! Maybe it would improve your obvious lack of understanding.
as regards the world and its problems i'm pretty well versed - well enough to see the total lack of logic in your response - The poor of bangladesh, india, china, africa etc are indeed the real sufferers - they are the ones who more than anyone else will be badly effected by global warming induced famine and flood.

However (with the exception of the bovine problem in india) they are not the cause - those that need to take action and change their cosy lifestlyes are those in the indistrialised west (and to a lesser extent russia and china) - stop flying , drive more fuel efficient vehicles, use less electricity etc - however it is a large proportion of these people who are bent on denying anthropogenic global warming is happening , because they dont want to change their lifestyles one jot.

Do you seriously believe that those organisations behind the links you posted care about protecting the poor in india, africa etc ... talk about a total lack of understanding,
