leave the "innocent native" to himself, he will destroy his environment, like the aborigines did over the years to Australia, a forested country before they arrived. better to let BP or Glaxo run these countries - they would manage them better than the natives can.

Quite a stupid statement from somone who also inhabited a forested land once. Spain was once covered in oak forests but these were all cut to build boats to steal gold from the Americas. Madagascar and Malagasy people are trying to do the best that they can, just as the Spanish did from 1492 onwards.

So is it a crisis the planet is in? If so, explain the existence of a clear blue sky with fresh air.
Explain new cold temperature records 25 years after the theory of global warming.
Look at the good in life, not the misery that the greenies would have us in to perpetuate their ongoing parade of fear and power.
