As nearly 190 countries gathered on Indonesia's resort island of Bali to try and hammer out a roadmap for creating a fresh pact to combat global warming, poor countries said any new deal must give them more money."Financially we do not have enough to adapt to the impact," said Thy Sum, a conference delegate from Cambodia's Climate Change Office.
"We need to call on the rich countries to provide meaningful financial and technical support to cope with climate change."
A landmark paper by the Nobel-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said earlier this year that while industrialised countries are largely to blame for global warming, least developed nations will suffer most.
The group of scientists warned that damage to the Earth's weather systems this century will doom poor countries to worse hunger, water stress and damage from violent storms, droughts and floods.

uusjio, it is stated in the media today that Poor Countries are the cause of Global Warming and Climate Change, but wait, yesterday the media stated that Divorce and Cold Beer is also the cause of Global Warming and Climate Change. M-M-M let's see what else Scientists unclear on the concept of reality state to the media..... Ah yes, computer use, having children, farting, animals, volcanoes, cars and yes even sex...apparently the only thing never stated to cause Global warming or climate change are these same world reknown Scientists with their wild theories and the resulting travel and mountains and mountains paperwork they generate writing such outlandish Global Warming drivel.
It's funny those who enjoy taxpayer paid jaunts to Bali and whose livlihood depends on research grants on Global Warming are the exact same people who Love to Fear Monger to the world for their own financial and political gain.
It states a group of scientists warn that damage to the Earth's weather
systems this century will doom poor countries to worse hunger, water
stress and damage from violent storms, droughts and floods. Let me just say this, this age old phenomena has been around for centuries, granted Global warming may i part be responsible, but generally poor countries are just that poor, why because they most likely live in uninhabitable places where resources are scarce(hence no western country wants to help if they cannot get anything in return) or war is detrimental to their citizens lives.
In regards to your story, it is indeed good stuff, though scientists and their "Ass Banditry" of tax payers money never really offer concrete solutions to these answers, just diatribes for someone else to solve.
