Those countries need growth before they can care about the environment.

Good luck sustaining economic growth when you're facing famine and droughts every other year, as is already starting to be the case in the Sahel now and is likely to spread elsewhere if we don't all start caring about the environment. Africa (particularly sub saharan) will sadly be hit far harder by climate change than the US will.

They are already doomed nothing we can do will prevent said drought and famine, but economic growth can help them go through those crisis, unfortunately wishful thinking and nice speech at international meetings isn’t doing anything when you are hungry.

"Why can't we exploit natural resources to alleviate some human suffering?"

"Because we already used up humans limits for energy consumption. Stay poor bitches, its what's best for all of us."
