Copenhagen - a rich ploy?

Comments on Dennis Shanahan “China fights for its right to develop”, 12/12/2009, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/china-fights-for-its-right-to-develop/story-e6frg75f-1225809562949

Let's leaving the argument about the climate change science aside for the moment and make no conclusions about that.

While some climate change sceptics may say that the argument that human activities has been causing climate changes and global warming is a conspiracy, now it appears that it may look more like a conspiracy or a ploy of the rich countries to contain the development of developing countries, especially big developing countries, particularly China.

The rapid economic growth of China and other big developing economies might be seen by some as a threat to the rich countries’ living standards, life styles and even security.

Let's leave the the fact that it is the rich countries that have produced/caused the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere to the current level during the past century or so that is the cause if the theory that human activities have caused global warming is correct, because those countries even don't face up the reality that their emission levels are still several or tens of times of developing countries. The argument that China is the biggest emitter is more and more like to force China to split up or disintegrate, by deliberately ignoring its low per capita emissions of only a fraction of those of the developed countries.

UN acknowledges that there are still 150 millions people living in poverty in China, living in harsh winters without adequate heating. What does 150 million mean? It is about between six and seven times of Australia’s population.

So now it is known that Kevin Rudd, the Australian Prime Minister is one of the few who has drafted an agreement to reduce the responsibilities of the developed countries including Australia and the US, and increase the requirements for developing countries to put their development in jeopardy.

Isn’t it a conspiracy? Or doesn’t it sound like a rich ploy?
