from freezing, heat and starvation.

But it can be done on a slow, planned basis if the collective will is there. Unfortunately, global humanity is too territorial and nationalistic to agree on doing anything as a global population effort.

However, the U.S. has the influence and power to lead that effort but only if we can keep Republicans out of power.
