It is time for the environmental movement to face up to the fact that there never will be an international treaty to restrain carbon emissions. The practical way to respond to global warming is healthier is wealthier, richer is safer. Faster economic growth creates more resources for resilience and adaptation to a changing environment.

Why are they not dancing in the streets on the news today that extreme poverty has fallen below 10% of the world’s population for the first time ever.

The only possible explanation is these principled activists for the cause of the poor and oppressed not celebrating the latest achievements of capitalism and freedom is they have been kidnapped by nefarious forces.

In just 15 years, extreme poverty has been halved. In the next 15, it could be gone! We WON'T live with poverty. pic.twitter.com/JylcXGbjq5

We pray for their safe return so they can join the celebrations of The Great Fact and The Great Escape.
