#1 Sound science has been thoroughly corrupted with petty agendas and self-centred policies, making me wonder if the real aim here is not one of environmental protection, but of geo-political reshaping of our planet's economy and power structures.

Bingo!

#3 Africa, unfortunately, is going to remain a cesspool until we stop funding it.

#4 " Third world African countries are developing have been receiving development aid for eons and they spend the money on weapons in most cases, to repress the masses, most choosing to keep their populace ignorant and in extreme poverty."

Wouldnt you? And its only fair that American taxpayers should buy a Limousine and some private guns for M'bekebeke, right? And how about N'gawa over there( the one with the goat dressed up in an evening gown )how about giving him a little too?

Congress can spare a measly $267 million. And Denmark will feel ever so much better about themselves for arranging it all. More Caviar?
You look FABulous.

#7 Marxism proved to be the worst ecological disaster ever. Rivers in Eastern Europe could burn while Capitalist societies slowly cleaned and cleaned and at the same time became wealthier. We should all take the planetary disaster to let people know how vile socialism and marxism is for the planet and how positive capitalism is.

#8 In my humble opinion, if your nation wants a hand out you should be willing to submit yourself to foreign rule under the UN Trusteeship council. Nobody wants them, nobody wants to give up their independence so it's a bluff of course.

#9 how many billions in "reparations" does Africa get every year that somehow turn into weapons?

#10 A Glabl Welfare state will be as "succesful" as the national welfare states are i.e. Negative for the both the extorted and beneficiary populations.

#11 That would be the Bankers and Pols being extorted then to limit their avarice for 'bonuses' and 'expenses', then, BP. I have another idea, let these places have 'Aid' at Credit Card APR's, default... get repo'ed. And Tax the Shee-ite outa their beef and bottled water to the 1st World, Lol, these places have dragged the World down so far there is no 1st World apart from the aforementioned w@nkers.
After all, it's 'Global', and that's what they gonna do to me. Fair is what it's all about.
CHARGE THEM FOR IT.

#12 Heck, we paid Goldman Sachs $700 billion for...what exactly? $265 billion for Africa seems like nothing. I say, let's do it, if nothing else we'll drown their problems in a sea of dollars so much that they'll simply have different problems.

#13 Does the black continent deserve reparations at Copenhagen?

'Reparatios do not go far enough' and obviously the creation of Liberia has not worked either. A system of Worldwide welfare, ~~abortion on demand~~ Healthcare, and housing, solar stoves, teevee, Wifi, etc, for the disadvanted of Africa is needed. One or two trillion US Dollars should be all that is needed in the initial years.

#16 F*ck Africa & those who enable its ineptitude. Not one more cent from us. Charity starts at home.

#17 The world will soon face a triumphant China, the 21st centruy pwoerhouse, or at least they might be. I cannot wait until they see how an Empire with a certain sense of ethnic and cultural superiority treats the world. The beneficent behavior of the US over the second half of the last century will be replaced with a reptilian coldness and grasping plutocracy from China. You are going to miss us.....
