    • 1990 July 19, Ricardo Radulovich, “A view on tropical deforestation”, in Nature‎[1], volume 346, page 214:
      How important can the greenhouse effect, biodiversity or future worldwide timber shortages seem to a third-worlder, for example? It would be wrong to think of this third-worlder as irresponsible or as a squanderer of resources before serious steps are taken towards solving the well-known and much worse problem of resource squandering and environmental irresponsibility in the developed nations.
