I haven’t been following this but it’s looking like the eco-extortion began…. developing countries… like China (go figure) will want the rich US to kick in our fair share so they can meet or exceed their carbon emissions reduction commitments to the UN and they’ll all want retroactive royalties from BigPharma which happens to be a protected “species” in the United States or else…. they’ll all start pinning the biodiversity failure blame on us greedy Americans for tsunamis and floods and fires all caused by global warming with no choice but to continue their slash and burn deforestation practices totally forgetting the amount of land we're chewing up right here in the good ole US growing food for their exploding populations. I think we should help them if they show good faith by "humanely" reducing their population growth to 0 before we’ve got nothing left besides wheat and soy fields because right about then we’ll all get hit with a famine or pandemic of Biblical proportions…. which will get pinned on us greedy Americans anyway so why not take a stance right now and try to turn the tables so we’re in a position to defend ourselves to the “global” community while setting aside some of our lands for future generations.
