The world is a very perverse place. How can those who had nothing to do with the pollution suffer more than those who caused it?

No, I don't. And I don't even want to see North America and Europe suffer necessarily. I just want fairness.

My dear H-Star89, I don't think that they (North America and Europe) are doing what they are doing maliciously. It isn't evil to build factories, create jobs and employ people. These things are good...but just create negative externalities which unfortunately Africans seem to have absorbed.
