Gentlemen (Sam and Matt): May I point you both to an article by George Will dated 02/15/2009 entitled “Dark Green Doomsayers”. In it you’ll find several documented mis-statements of impending doom and gloom for the earth and humanity.

Predictions of our demise (and that of nature) are so often exaggerated that it is tiresome and ludicrous. CO2 is a trace gas in our atmosphere and no amount of human activity, alone, will make a dent in its total.

Let’s instead focus our attention on removing despots, tyrants, criminals pretending to be heads of state and thus improving the delivery of aid, food, medicine, technology, sanitation and other benefits of advanced societies to the Third World.

While some dither and fuss about AGW (while China and India pollute without restrictions), millions of people world wide suffer for lack of basic needs. Where’s the perspective here?

The Earth isn’t going to die in 2050AD, the planet has gone through tough times before in its history, there has been mass extinctions in the past, and the planet recovered from them. The worst scenario(unless we nuke the planet) is a lot of species will go extinct and humans along with them, then over tens of thousands of years the earth will recover and evolution will give birth to new species.

Even the most skeptical amongst us has got to be scared with the numbers. Human activity is rapidly changing the planet, and we should all be concerned and worried about that change … even if it doesn’t mean the end of the world.

I am trying to understand what the desires of the developing world are?

If Sachs has been criticised for recommending aid, then is the desire to continue to be reliant on handouts from the West?

By status quo, do you mean dependency? in which case does Sachs not advocate that aswell? (reading between the lines). I must admit it’s a while since I read them but I find it fascinating.

Sachs’ message resonates well with the desires of the developing world, while Wallerstein, gives a certain reprieve to the West on the status quo. But this is for a time only…

“Sachs appeals to the developing world, Immanuel Wallerstein appeals to the Western mind.”

Why is that?

Matt: I like your debating tenacity. I am a student of both men, but while Sachs appeals to the developing world, Immanuel Wallerstein appeals to the Western mind.

Yet Wallerstein is more prophet of the two: the end of capitalism is nigh.

Just like communism, he predicted way back in the 1980′s and 1990′s, capitalism will eventually have to pave way for middle ground – democratic socialism. Gets even more complicated, Matt…
