The Millenium Development Goals, agreed to by every member country of the United Nations in 2000, call for the worldwide eradication of poverty and hunger, universal education, gender equality and huge improvements in health by 2015: two years ago!!
Can we do this without making the planet warmer?
Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

I have seen a lot of news about new technology that can improve transportation, but most of them are not much better than existing technology that we just aren't using. Los Angeles had a very good electric street car system in 1895 that was probably better than what some cities have today. The only thing stopping us from having efficient transportation everywhere is corporate lobbying and political opposition. Trains and streetcars have existed for over 100 years and there is no reason why any city should not have them.
