Copenhagen summit in trouble

Help me out with something.

I know Ms. Clinton made a vague promise that wont even take effect untill 2020 or whatever and also contingent upon cooperation by / with other nations. In short it will probably never happen. Which is fine with me but thats not what confuses me.

What confuses me is this.

Arent the big developed contrys those with huge emmissions like China and the US bear the brunt of the blame for global warming.

Why are we promising money to the undeveloped nations? Wouldent the money be better spent at the 'root' of the problem?
