My suggestion is that we should first work to ensure the Third World has clean drinking water and sanitation.

The obvious issue is providing clean drinking water and sanitation to every single human being on earth at the cost of little more than one year of the Kyoto treaty.

Money spent on carbon cuts is money we can't use for effective investments in food aid, micronutrients, HIV/AIDS prevention, health and education infrastructure, and clean water and sanitation.

So it's mainly a question of helping the Third World overcome the effects of global warming.

There's over a billion people on this planet that don't have access to clean drinking water.

Wherever we can find water we can produce oxygen, fuel and drinking water.
