things I care about MORE than global warming

• nuclear war
• civil wars worldwide
• potential pandemics
• child hunger
• overweight and obesity
• increasing gap between richest and poorest

I would spend time and money NOT on solving global warming, but rather:

• education of girls and women
• population control in those parts of the world that need it
• making available safe water to those who need it
• youth work experiences in the developing countries
• anti-smoking measures (those proven to work)
• protecting wilderness
• promoting “voluntary simplicity” and “reduced consumption”
• improving migration of workers to parts of the world that need workers

My main motivation in writing this post is:

“the hypocrisy of western concerns over future global warming disasters, while ignoring the extreme misery and suffering being endured right now in developing countries.”

This guy agrees: Priorities – Can you worry about global warming while your children are dying? » Celsias

Global warming may or may not exist. May or may not have been caused by industrialization. May or may not be changed by future technology.

Don’t talk to me about it until these greater, more urgent global needs are getting more attention.

I’m especially ticked off with those making MONEY by being global warming alarmists.

Those are just a few of the issues more important than global warming to me. Leave a comment if you want to add to the list. Or refute me with hard, reputable scientific evidence that I am wrong. (Don’t mention Dr. Suzuki, please.)

    Does anybody have any idea of the costs involved if we actually decided to move toward the targets agreed upon in Bali by those countries already signatories to Kyoto?
