@BHP_ASMSB Could not agree more. But saying we have the technology is not true. Building the infrastructure requires huge funding.

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@BHP_ASMSB Are you saying we have the infrastructure to supply everyone's energy needs from sustainable sources? Because if so thats wrong!

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@EarthSummitBOrg @usa_asmsb @can_asmsb Sure all good points are on one side.

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@EarthSummitBOrg @usa_asmsb @can_asmsb It is nice to see a "neutral" organising committee.

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@usa_asmsb @can_asmsb There is, but the only 5-seater available worldwide costs 75000 $. Do you consider that affordable for everyone?

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@usa_asmsb @can_asmsb @ind_asmsb Not really, but I am not sure you'd want to walk 4000 kms to see your family.

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@can_asmsb @ind_asmsb That is correct, we are just saying that the tax is not a possible approach to solve the problem.

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@can_asmsb @ind_asmsb So are you. I wonder how you will get around in your massive country without cars, planes, ect. Maybe walk?

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@swz_asmsb We are willing to look into your recommendation. We think there are more to subsidise, than wealthy countries can pay. #asmses

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@can_asmsb @indo_asmsb How is that relevant? #asmses

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@swz_asmsb We do. Just within our own borders. Not trying to make everyone do it. Some countries still have to deal with hunger and poverty.

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@can_asmsb @indo_asmsb Forcing the whole world into a tax just because you can pay for it? Not sounding like a nice guy. #asmses

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@ch_asmsb We believe everyone on Earth should have an equal vote in this matter. #equality #asmses

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@uae_asmsb #asmses

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

Population of countries against the tax: 3.5 billion
For the tax: around 300 million

It is clear that the lucky few try to force their idea

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@swz_asmsb Better compared to just saying that people can have everything they need. We believe one's living should be achieved through work

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

@swz_asmsb Our country believes that providing jobs and hence having 0% of the population below poverty line is a better approach.

[UAE ASMS B @uae_asmsb]

Any country that supports the sustainability tax should first make sure their own people can afford a comfortable living. #asmses
