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.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Sustainable aviation fuel or SAF is a fuel made with feedstocks that can go into all commercial planes when blended with traditional jet fuel. Currently we can only blend 50% SAF with conventional jet fuel on commercial flights, but even with that limit, SAF can reduce GHG emissions by 40-47%. One negative of SAF is that it is about 3 times more expensive than conventional jet fuel. I do believe it is a necessary development if we want to save the planet.
