Call me a conspiracy theorist, but
1. Rich nations see developing nations growing rapidly, relying, as the rich nations do, on oil, coal, etc etc
2. Rich nations start to demonize and do all they can to force developing nations to stop using coal, gas, etc and only use renewable energy.
3. Rich nations stay rich, poor stay poor.
That seems to be a benefit for rich nations to push such an agenda.
- gravitycop 18y agoIf the poor became richer, how would that hurt the rich?
- axod 18y agoIf the poor become richer, then you become poorer relative to them :/ Surely...
- gravitycop 18y agoHow could a change in mere relative level of richness hurt one? Let us assume that richness is freedom from need.
- axod 18y agoWell for a start, if poor nations become rich, they may not want to continue working for a pittance to satisfy the richer nations whims. Prices may go up pretty fast. Also, if the poorer nations are using all the coal+oil, there's going to be less for the rich nations... again, making prices rise.
