    Quite amazing that at the same time he manages to pretend having empathy for “people in Africa”.

    Also, the paragraph below the one you quoted:

    “We have indeed raised global atmospheric CO2 concentration by 50 percent in the process of more than doubling human life expectancy, lifting almost all of the world’s citizens out of grinding poverty, launching modern medicine,” he said. “Everything in life involves trade-offs.”

    What the fuck!? As if any of these achievements wouldn’t likely be lost through climate change.

      They’re obviously trying to imply that environmentalists want us all to go back to the Stone Age.
