Failure to tackle global warming could result in economic disaster, the United Nations Secretary-General warned Thursday in Madrid, as negotiators at the U.N. climate talks remained deadlocked over key issues.

The rich are already doing their part. They are sacrificing by paying premium prices for the riskiest parcels of land by the coasts which will soon be under water, allowing the poor to live safely inland. They deserve credit for their selfless behavior.
