“Climate change is...a gross injustice-poor people in developing countries bear over 90% of the burden-through death, disease, destitution and financial loss-yet are least responsible for creating the problem. Despite this, funding from rich countries to help the poor and vulnerable adapt to climate change is not even 1 percent of what is needed.” PeopleCountryHelpingProblemEnergyLossPoorRichEnvironmentBearsNeededDiseaseCreatingPercentResponsibleClimateClimate ChangeInjusticeFinancialBurdenDespiteVulnerableDevelopingPoor PeopleGrossFundingDeveloping CountriesHelp The PoorRich CountriesFinancial LossPoor And Vulnerable Author:Barbara Stocking
“The international equity question arises from the costs of climate change itself and mitigation varying greatly across countries.

“It is a terrible error to let any natural impulse, physical or mental, stagnate. Crush it out, if you will, and be done with it; or fulfil it, and get it out of the system; but do not allow it to remain there and putrefy.

In Puritan countries one inevitably finds a morbid preoccupation with sex coupled with every form of perversion and degeneracy.” IfsCountryDoneFormSexNaturalExampleTerribleThousandNormalResponsibleErrorsInstinctImpulseCrushPreoccupationSuppressionPuritanMorbidPerversion Book:Moonchild Source: Moonchild

Therefore, we will strive to bring about understanding that we are--each one of us--responsible for more than just ourselves, our family, our football team, our country, or our own kind; that there is more to life than just these things.
