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.

Realistic solution to combating climate change
The topic of confronting climate change is a complicated task as there are many options but many politicians and ourselves included are sometimes not committed to the idea of new energy and some fossil fuel companies are actively against change. Despite the resistance of some companies, there has been much progress such as companies and countries changing from fossil fuel to renewable energy such as coal-burning countries laying off or leveling the amount of coal used(Chart of coal usage in countries*). Since countries are laying off on fossil energy, we should also use solar panels and wind energy to help lower the amount of fossil fuel used and use cleaner energy appliances such as electric cars and LED lights. We could also create an organization that mostly concentrates on more renewable and cleaner energy sources and band all countries to petition and support these ideas.

I definitely agree! Creating an organization that concentrates on renewable energy is definitely a good alternative to fossil fuel usage.
