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.

A solution
I think there is a way to do this with out causing to much harm to any one group. And it is a carbon tax. If we tax the emission of carbon for big compony and power plants we create an envierment were producing less carbon is easer to active because of economic enishitive. In places that have a carbon tax like California that have seen a significant decrease in the amount of co2 there state produces.
I agree that it is extremely important to tax the emissions of carbon as that will make it less appealing to bigger companies who want to use fossil fuels to pump out new products. The money gained from the taxes could go to a climate change organization. This could make an extreme difference as the big companies using fossil fuels and dumping carbon into the atmosphere are the bigger problem. That's not to say you shouldn't limit your own use of the electricity and heating but the bigger problem is with the big companies using fossil fuels and also the deforestation going on throughout the world.
