Quote of the Day

"Doing too little is obvious, but let's say it anyway. If you don't do something about global warming, of course it will become a bigger problem. So obviously we need to address it and in the long term fix it. On the other hand, doing too much about it means we are focusing too much effort on climate change and forgetting all the other things we have a responsibility to deal with, like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and malnutrition. If we spend too much time and resources focusing on climate change, then we do the future a disservice because we say, 'Hey, we fixed climate change but we let all the other things slide.'"
- Bjørn Lomborg, author of "The Skeptical Environmentalist"
