I agree. But given that that isn't going to happen overnight we have to deal with the consequences as best we can.

We can't though as one begets the other.
It is a cycle we either have to break or accept.

Given the vast resources and wealth in the world the real question is, why is half the world a horrible place to live?
Why not make it better instead of individuals richer?

Fair point, but, perhaps best addressed to the Rulers/Leaders/Governments of the "horrible places". Not exclusively of course, we in the West have done our bit, in some instances.

True. We've contributed a lot to making those countries unlovable due to both climate change and sticking out political oars in.

Its not the West total responsibility to make everywhere better. Nations should do it themselves. Many parts of Africa are actually grateful for USAID being stopped. It has made many dependent, reliant without striving for self.

The same happens in the west with ballooning social welfare budgets. It creates a nation of needy, dependent, with little self worth people.
