Climate Talks

If I'm supposed to feel guilty that our overconsumption in the U.S. has led to global warming, why is it that the focus of climate talks is how much money we need to give poorer countries to help them develop clean energy?

The U.S. has said, basically, "Okay, you're right: our bad on that emissions thing. We'll do better," but that's somehow unacceptable. This is enough proof for me that the sustained and well-organized campaign to make the Earth colder is about wealth redistribution, not the environment.
