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.

Solar Panels
Solar Panels help the environment because solar reduces air pollution: Harmful carbon dioxide and methane emissions from fossil fuels, our traditional energy source, are leading contributors to global warming and decreased air quality. But generating electricity with solar panels produces no greenhouse gasses whatsoever.
I agree completely but solar panels can not be used in all places for example Seattle, WA where it rains there all the time. So as beneficial as they can be we cant always use them for every place.
I like your idea with solar panels.
I completely agree with you but you can't use these solar panels everywhere. like in some places where it rains or is cloudy all the time. As good of a energy source that they are we can't use solar panels all the time and everywhere.
I agree that Solar Panels help the environment because they would reduce air pollution but also agree with the fact that solar panels can't be used everywhere. I think that there should be some renewable energy sources that doesn't hurt the environment and is available to everyone. According to (https://phys.org/news/2009-05-feasible- … urces.html) 5 Feasible Renewable Energy Sources is Wind is becoming recognized as new reusable energy resource that is cheap. They have some other suggestions but they have drawbacks.
I agree with this comment and think that solar panels will help a lot. We as a society need to use less fossil fuels and solar panels can help with this problem
I agree that solar panels will help and reduce air pollution, but solar panels are expensive. Also, there are places that don't get a lot of sun like Seattle. So, solar panels may not be the best option for renewable energy
Solar panels are great and although it is not always sunny in Seattle you do see some homes with solar panels.
Yes, renewable energy is good, but not all of them work rain or shine as stated above. Which is why nuclear energy is the best green energy and the second main energy source of the U.S.
