   Rapid developing countries produce a large proportion of the greenhouse gases, lots of voices have a strong opinion on developing world should act on pollution reduction but what is the reason for some developed countries having the right to lower the developing countries right to improve of their quality of life.

In the past 50 years more than half of the rain forest had fallen due to land development and the need of wood, Unbelievably, over 200,000 acres of rainforest are burned every day in the world. That is over 150 acres lost every minute of every day.” The reason for destroying forest by fire,is to create land, creating land for agricultural uses. Due to the increase population around the world more land is require for food production, because of the low agricultural technology(low efficiency) in the non developed world. More land will be needed with the same amount of food produced compare to developed world.

    If the rainforest development is controlled by the developed countries,less food would be able to be produced and that might lead to a shortage of food in the area.

    For the past 150 years,industry had developed rapidly and developed world had released polluted gases and damaged the world severely. China and Indian had only started their developing around 1970’s.Why does the developing world had to take up the responsibility to save the planet, clean up the mess left over by the rich countries?
