under the most rigorous adherence to Kyoto, atmospheric temperature will
increase by 3.5 degrees Farenheit by 2100. Without Kyoto, we'll get the same
temperature increase by 2094.
Kyoto saves us 6 whole years, and at a staggering cost of $350 Billion
to $900 Billion per year. That's insanity. For a one time cost of just $200
Billion, developed nations could provide clean drinking water and sanitation
for every human on earth, saving two million lives per year."
So I guess the solution is simple: let several billion people die off so
Earth can be brought back to equilibrium.
