UN World/Panet Gore v Real World/Planet Earth

 UN World/Planet Gore....

 We have to pursue aspects that will help poor countries avoid the kinds of problems you are describing. However, many developing countries are moving up to the middle-income type, with strong economic growth, and of course we cannot afford in planetary terms to sit back and watch emissions increasing year by year and do noting about it because these countries are poor.
Gro Harlem Brundtland, UN spokeswoman, 10 May 2007

The Real World/Planet Earth.... 

Trust does not exist. Because we are aspiring to get to where you are. Because we have many competing needs in our own countries. I feel that the first world, developed countries, want to first use us as guinea pigs. I'm sorry I put it that way. I'm not from the diplomatic school. You have a greater expectation of us while ignoring our competing needs to provide health, water, infrastructure, electricity for our own people.
Onkokame Kitso Mokaila, Botswana's Environment Minister, 10 May 2007
