“We will not overcome world poverty unless we manage climate change successfully. I've spent my life as a development economist, and it's crystal clear that we succeed or fail on winning the battle against world poverty and managing climate change together. If we fail on one, we fail on the other.” IfsWorldTogetherWinningPovertyClearFailingDevelopmentBattleSucceedOvercomingClimateClimate ChangeManageEconomistCrystalsWorld Poverty Author:Nicholas Stern
“If, however, one factor is too successful, it will continue to be the winning factor regardless of the variation in the other factors over the range of variation in the conditions, and therefore will stifle the development of other advantageous factors until the conditions change sufficiently that it no longer is the winning factor. At this point, the whole population is ill prepared for the change, and may well perish entirely if the winning factor accidentally becomes the matching factor for a disease or a predator.” IfsWellsMayWholeWinningSuccessfulConditionsDevelopmentDiseasePreparedIllPopulationFactorsRangeVariationPredatorMatching Author:Erik Naggum

“We have resorted to every means to win back the position that Adam lost. We have tried through education, through philosophy, through religion, through governments to throw off our yoke of depravity and sin. All our knowledge, all our inventions, all our developments and ambitious plans move us ahead only a very little before we drop back again to the point from which we started. For we are still making the same mistake that Adam made - - we are still trying to be king in our own right, and with our own power, instead of obeying God's law.” TryingMeanLittlesMadeStillsPhilosophyGovernmentMovingLawWinningLostSinMistakePlansPositionDevelopmentKingsInventionAdamAmbitiousBack AgainDepravityObeyingYokeSame MistakesVery MeanMaking The Same MistakesObeying God Author:Billy Graham
