First things first

Climate change doesn't mean the end of the world - yet. Bjørn Lomborg
says we should focus on the areas where we can really make a
difference
Thursday October 28, 2004
The Guardian
In a world where we cannot deal with all the problems at the same
time, we need to ask: what should we do first? This was the question
answered by the Copenhagen Consensus, a project that brought together
38 of the world's top economists to set up a list of the global
priorities. They looked at the main challenges to humanity, and the
many solutions that we already have, analysing both their benefits but
also their price tag. By using cost-benefit analysis the expert panel
of economists found that HIV/Aids, hunger, free trade and malaria were
the world's top priorities. Equally, the experts rated urgent
responses to climate change extremely low. In fact, the panel called
these ventures "bad projects", simply because they cost more than the
good they do.
