Former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appealed for a sense of urgency Tuesday as he launched a new commission that aims to accelerate and expand ways the world can prepare for climate change.
“Without urgent adaptation action, we risk undermining food, energy and water security for decades to come,” Ban told guests as the Global Commission on Adaptation got underway in The Hague.
The commission’s mandate is to encourage the development of measures to manage the effects of climate change through technology, planning and investment. Ban is leading the group with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and World Bank CEO Kristalina Georgieva.
A United Nations panel warned last week that preventing an extra single degree of heat in Earth’s climate could make a life-or-death difference for multitudes of people and ecosystems. […]

I can fix this for under 20 billion dollars. (That’s Gates, Steyer and Buffet’s donations since they are so caught up in this. I will also accept federal dollars from any government with the caveat that this is a private venture and while their contribution is appreciated, it doesn’t buy them a spot at the table.
For that money, I will pull more than a million people out of poverty, provide clean drinking water and set up another player in the global economy.
I will act as project manager, along with some chosen associates for purposes of security, cost, resource and material management, technology management, risk mitigation and environmental issues that may arise while the project is under construction. I will also employ local help and train them on the tools and techniques required for day to day operations once the project is complete.
And the best part, I will complete it within 10 years. It really is that simple.
Shut up and code!

It’s called THE FREE MARKET. Try it some time. It works.
