I’m an old member of Greenpeace. I worried intensely, as I think most of my friends did, that the world was coming apart.

There is no question that global warming will have a significant impact on already existing problems such as malaria, malnutrition, and water shortages. But this doesn’t mean the best way to solve them is to cut carbon emissions.

Carbon Cutting Emissions Mean
I think it’s great that we have organisations like Greenpeace. In a pluralistic society, we want to have people who point out all the problems that the Earth could encounter. But we need to understand that they are not presenting a full and rounded view.

The only thing that will really change global warming in the long run is if we radically increase the speed with which we get alternative technologies to deal with climate change.

Long Running Technology
So it’s mainly a question of helping the Third World overcome the effects of global warming.

Helping Overcoming World
Listen, global warming is a real problem, but it’s not the end of the world. A 30-centimetre sea level rise is just not going to bring the world to a standstill, just like it didn’t over the last 150 years.

I really try to say things as they basically are and it so happens that it is a good message that things are getting better, but there are still problems.

Get Better Messages Trying
We see many more, but the number is roughly constant, and we manage to deal much better with them over time. Globally, the death rate from catastrophes has dropped about fifty-fold over the past century.

We need to invest dramatically in green energy, making solar panels so cheap that everybody wants them.

Energy Green Needs
To prepare adequately for the challenge of global warming, we must acknowledge both the good and the bad that it will bring.

Challenge Choices Way
My suggestion is that we should first work to ensure the Third World has clean drinking water and sanitation.

Nobody wanted to buy a computer in 1950, but once they got cheap, everyone bought them.

We worry about the seemingly ever-increasing number of natural catastrophes. Yet this is mainly a consequence of CNN.

The fact that we’re catching more fish per person than we’ve ever done before doesn’t mean that there are not particular places where we’ve managed fisheries badly.
