http://www.reuters.com/article/environmentNews/idUSTRE4AC3FG20081113 It is becoming pretty harsh, Asia will hate to be stuck in that situation. It could cost a lot for that to be cut to a weaker level. Where would come the financing? I think we're becoming so linked together, that the UN could find itself a new responsability, tax revenue. For that, i am not worried...i am just worried for my friends in Asia.
