Bishop Tutu has weighed in on the climate change debate, he says that climate change is real and that scientists have predicted up to 185 million Africans will die this century as a result of climate change.
The Bishop has called on people in rich countries to act as global citizens and not as not as isolated consumers.
LONDON (Reuters) - Businessmen who take flights rather than use video conferencing are adding to global warming that is condemning millions of the world's poorest people to death, according to Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu.
The former Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town said developed countries had caused global warming and must therefore take the lead in slashing emissions of climate changing carbon gases.

Vinny, I like this story. It's good stuff.
It is real and Africa as well as Asia should demand damage payments fro the Western Supper polluters! It will happen too!

Landing at Cape Town Int'l, one sees that the people who land/take off from the airport and the people who live next to the airport are not the same people.
