I know this might sound liek the cruelest thing you ever heard, but you have to think about the effects of developing more countries. With pollution as it is now, if we somehow did manage to get Africe substained then the environment is going to suffer. My reasoning follows as so. At this moment 20% of the world population make 80% of the polution. If Africa was to develop the increase of pollution would be phonomenial. Also at their early developping stages it would be hard for a newborn economy to constrain itself with pollution regulation, already in some countries there are not strong laws protecting the environement. Also with the population rates as they are going now, it is predicted that the Earth will be over populated by 2009. This is not my opinion but I am pointing out the other side of the coin.

Apathy is the disease of humans. Our hearts are frozen to the suffering of our kin.
