Yeah, I was agreeing with much of what you said.
My other point would be though, that on a global scale "poor people" have a low carbon footprint; this is where we as (relatively) rich consumers come in. The footprint of our lifestyles is MASSIVE comparatively - and as much as people love to point at 'but \[pick a number\] of big corporations produce \[insert large percentage\] of global emissions!!!!!'.... thats because people are pickin' up what they're throwin' down. If there wasn't a market for whatever they were producing, or moving.... guess what.
