UNITED NATIONS - Helping the world's poor adapt to more floods, droughts and other changes from a warming planet will cost the richest nations at least $86 billion a year by 2015, an expert panel warned Tuesday.ADVERTISEMENT"They must have help from the rich world," said Claes Johnasson, a co-author of the report commissioned by the U.N. Development Program. "Climate is forcing people into human development traps."Half the cost, $44 billion, would go for "climate-proofing" developing nations' infrastructure while $40 billion would help the poor adapt how the live to cope with climate-related risks, says the panel's report. The other $2 billion would go to strengthening responses to natural disasters.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.
Maybe they should save themselves trouble and spend the $86 billion preventing the planet from warming in the first place. I know it's not going to happen though.
