Due to the inevitable industrialization of the remaining areas of the world in the next 50-100 years, I believe that the fight against global climate change is a pointless battle. CMV.

Take sub-Saharan Africa for example. Currently there is not much industrialization in this region, but there are **vast deposits** of untapped resources (e.g. iron ore, tin, copper, coal), extremely fertile arable land, and a largely untapped labor force (roughly 1 billion people).

Eventually, wages in eastern and south-east Asia (e.g. China, Vietnam) will rise so much that companies will look elsewhere for "cheap labor". When that time comes, companies will start to look seriously at Africa. Africa will industrialize and the standard of living there will increase as the people become more wealthy.  

The western world will protest against African nations building **hundreds of new coal-fired power plants**, as they have protested this in China, but ultimately will not be able to stop it.

Sub-Saharan Africa is **just one of many examples** around the world of where this will occur.  This example includes about 1 billion people.  There are many people in other regions of the world that demand a better standard of living than abject poverty too, and will work to make it happen when given the chance.

Global climate change will happen on a scale that the eclipses what we are seeing today.  Due to human nature, this is an **unstoppable inevitability** and fighting against it is a waste of time and resources that could be spent better elsewhere.  CMV.

Two words: solar power.

Solar is already cheaper than coal in some places, and in the next 5-10 years is likely to continue to drop in price until it beats coal *everywhere*. Once it hits the point that a solar plant is cheaper watt-for-watt with coal, people won't make more coal plants. There will be economic incentives against it. And the existing coal plants in other places will become economical to EOL and replace with solar.
