Education is not entirely able to end poverty. There are many highly educated people out there that don't know how to use what they "learned" in their years of school. It would interesting to know how many with doctorates are homeless or are working at jobs they didn't go to school for.
Please don't put the poverty and money woes on "the white man". Men and women of color in many countries find ways to funnel their country's monies into their own pockets (Imelda Marcos and her husband, the many different dictators in different African countries, North Korea, China as well as U.S.A).
As far as hurricanes, inland floods in this country, you would do well to check geological and geographical maps of the U.S and how it would look if we didn't continue to rebuild the many beaches that become washed out due to hurricanes (most of Florida and Louisiana would be gone, as well as much of the East Coast) .
Whether or not global warming is the fault of humans, we are all in the middle of shifts in the weather patterns in some way. Humans have been creating and dumping waste and garbage in the land and air for milliniea, it's only in the last several decades that it's catching up to us, and we are finally realizing it.
Josetta said:I am not against space travel, but if the money spent on wars was put into education, most of the poverty in the world could be slashed. Education helps poor people to build up their survival skills and crank up their incomes.
The entire wealth of the world divided by 6.7 billion people means that the average human is worth $2,000,000. So why are there so many poor people? Reality is that the white man has devised a money system to put the bulk of the world's wealth into the hands of a few men. A hundred years ago, it was considered a huge waste of money to educate a girl beyond her ability to rear children.
China wants to cut emissions by 50% by 2050. America can't afford that sort of cut, so will the Polar Ice Caps melt because former Presidents of America have wasted money on wars that have nothing to do with them?
So is America going to get more hurricanes, more earthquakes, more tidal waves, inland flooding because it won't help the rest of the world to slow down global warming?
Light the fires and speed up the ice melt and hope we have the space ships ready to colonise the moon if a Noa's Ark size flood rears its head?
