Kofi Annan On Global Warming: ‘The Living Would Envy The Dead’ [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
“I know that if action is not taken immediately to stop and reverse current climate trends, my grandson will live in a world where the average global temperature could be several degrees higher than when I was a child,” Annan told an audience gathered in Paris for the World Summit of Conscience event. “The result would be suffocating heat waves, severe droughts, disastrous floods, and devastating wildfires. Entire regions would experience catastrophic decline in food production,” Annan said. “Glaciers and ice sheets would disappear leading to rising sea levels, drowning cities such as New York and Venice and small island states.” “This brings to mind what Nikita Khrushchev once said when reflecting the impact of potential nuclear war, ‘the living would envy the dead,’”
