Um, it's human beings prefering not to choke to death on smog, thanks.
It's about responsibility to the planet: I'm not getting into a debate with you about wealth or who spends what or how. This thread was a post about an environmental event for a cause we should all care about, regardless of nationality: after all, if global warming melts the ice caps and sends the globe into a tail spin, it's not going to matter what country you're from, and all the money in the world will not matter a cent.
Also: Qatar produces for export. their wealth comes from exporting their oil all over the world: it's not a carte blanche to use MORE. In fact, being one of the biggest produces, Qatar would be in a really good position to advocate responsible uses of nonrenewable resources like natural gas and oil: after all, they want that money train to keep rolling as long as possible, right? Saying because they produce it, people in Qatar are allowed to gobble up resources with nary a thought to the consequences is like saying because someone grows apples, they can eat all they want and it won't effect them long term.
