smaller, less-developed countries are at the most risk from climate change, and have the fewest resources with which to confront that change
I'd certainly agree the second half of that sentence, but I'm not so sure about the first. Yes, clearly, places like Tuvalu and Bangladesh are going to get hit appallingly hard, but I don't think one can generalize from there. My guess is that one of the areas that's going to get hit really badly is the US Midwest . . . which will be poetic justice, in a way, because that's where a lot of the AGW denialists come from.
