The problem is emissions of greenhouse gases and the
goal is to reduce them: the world does not have to run
only on windmills and solar cells;
We can mitigate the damage, but have to act on a
worldwide scale;
The richer countries will have to develop the affordable
technologies that all can use;
It will be hard to develop sensible national policies and
even harder to develop sensible international ones, but
we must try to do so.
If we do nothing, it is our grandchildren who will begin
to see the worst effects, and it is our grandchildren for
whom we should all be working.
