Governments should take Note of the level of violence. The people were lied to.. they found out. To push for the world to send them money now is absurd! How stupid do they think people are?

The UN climate summit taking place in the Danish capital has been overshadowed by the violence, which saw 200 arrested overnight.
And it could get worse!
Police in Copenhagen were forced to use tear gas and water cannons to control the crowds in the so-called ‘Free State of Christiana’.
Several groups had established barricades, lit fires and thrown firebombs at the police.
Since Saturday, a total of 1,500 rioters have been taken into custody!
Christiana is a barracks compound close to the centre of Copenhagen which has been occupied since the 1970s and used as an alternative housing development. The inhabitants regard themselves as being independent of the national authorities.
The security forces – who have already come in for criticism over their tactics – will face a new challenge on Wednesday, with militant groups announcing they want to rally in the face of a ban on meeting places around the summit.
Despite the outbreak of violence, the climate summit will continue on Tuesday with new negotiations between representatives of developing countries and industrial nations.
Environment ministers from 192 states have been meeting since the beginning of the week to discuss a protection agreement to combat global warming and the temperature rise caused by greenhouse gases.
