Bangladesh wants rich nations to pay the billions of dollars it says it needs to help fight the effects of climate change. In issuing the plea for help, the impoverished South Asian nation says wealthy nations are the biggest environmental culprits, and should extend a helping hand. Bangladesh is one of the world's lowest emitters of greenhouse gases, and it's due to outline its plight to the British government and other international donors in London on Wednesday.
