The problem here is, some of these countries are coming of age and they know that means burning a lot of cheap fossil fuels like coal and oil. They're in quite a tough situation. They understand that the fossil fuel leap will damage their environment, but without it they're going to have to rely on aide from developed nations so that they can leapfrog their 'coal age' and jump right into high tech solutions like tidal power, hydroelectric, solar, etc. Neither choice is something that they can really afford. It's a grim Catch 22.So the developed nations have to provide aide to these countries AND keep their own environmental promises if they want to make a significant impact. Its a tough pill to swallow for them.
