Brazil says the rich must pay for global warming...

Yet another major country is not willing to do its part...

The Government of Brazil has rejected any suggestion that developing countries should reduce their carbon emissions.

President of Brazil Lula da Silva said yesterday that richer countries must pay Brazil and other developing economies if they are to save their own tropical forests.

Today various government officials simply rejected a suggestion by the UN that poorer nations reduce carbon emissions even with a 40-year deadline saying the problem is with the richer countries.
