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.

Alternative Energy Sources
There are so many alternative energy sources out there, and sometimes we only focus on if something is renewable or not. Efficiency, how long a type of energy will last, and many other factors should also be considered. In the picture I have provided, it is shown that solar energy is very clean, but it is not so efficient. Our best energy source for both efficiency and cleanliness is geothermal. The energy will last us infinitely, it is at the top of the graph for efficiency, and it is at the right of the graph for cleanliness. Feel free to comment about the other sources of energy listed on the page, or others that are not mentioned.
