Child of God, you cost Christ too much for him to forget you.
We've had the U. N. for almost 60 years, yet we've never actually made a fundamental list of all the big things that we can do in the world, and said, 'Which of them should we do first?'
My suggestion is that we should first work to ensure the Third World has clean drinking water and sanitation.
The second thing is, if you want to do something about global warming, you have to think much more long-term. There is something wrong with saying we should start using renewables now, while they are still incredibly expensive.
Winter regularly takes many more lives than any heat wave: 25,000 to 50,000 each year die in Britain from excess cold. Across Europe, there are six times more cold-related deaths than heat-related deaths. . . by 2050. . . Warmer temperatures will save 1. 4 million lives each year.
Money spent on carbon cuts is money we can't use for effective investments in food aid, micronutrients, HIVAIDS prevention, health and education infrastructure, and clean water and sanitation.
We need to invest dramatically in green energy, making solar panels so cheap that everybody wants them. Nobody wanted to buy a computer in 1950, but once they got cheap, everyone bought them.

I note the obvious differences between each sort and type, but we are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike.
