@Aidinovic you sir are an idiot

@sjnelson82 exactly, poverty redution doesnt work... nevermind the 350m south americans, 200m africans, 400m chines, 20m vietnamese etc etc etc that arent dirt poor anymore, and have reached a middleclass income.
if more than 2 billion people leaving poverty is an indication that poverty reduction doesnt work, well, yeah....
And what do you mean by increased consumption? Weirdly enough more people can get more things for less money and there is no end in sight, so whats the problem exactly?
-
@Aidinovic Instigator? What's he instigating? He's as uncontroversial as anyone gets in the climate change debate because he neither denies climate change exists, nor proposes useless, consumer-ended mandates to see the results we ultimately want.

He's naught but a government puppeteered instigator who happens to mask his catastrophic neo-liberal notions behind a sly smile and fancy words.
One of our worst and most damaging exports in years.

@sjnelson82 Throwing money at poverty reduction rarely works (as you admit), and expecting people in developed countries to care enough for those in need to bring them out of poverty through generosity is just naive. I'm sorry, but I can't avoid being painfully realistic about the increasingly dominant role of avarice in our society. If I've learned anything after 8 years of Bush&Co and Wallstreet-Washington collusion it's that money wins 9/10.

I'm sorry, this guys talks rubbish.
Technology will save the day... well we are considerably more tech advanced than 50 years ago and all that has done is massively increased consumption.
Aim the money at poverty reduction and that will have a bigger impact - this has been happening since 1945 with minimal success, and it could be argued that because of economists and business being in control it has only served to benefit those who give the aid.
