Very well-written, Rick.

It’s interesting to reflect on your list in para 5 — almost all of them are man-made. Most victims are of “war and persecution” rather than natural disasters. So I guess the reason that this most solvable of big, global problems hasn’t been solved is more a matter of human nature than mother nature.

It is true that the US has led and that the effort has had bipartisan support. However, I don’t think we can be quite as proud of doing our share — as a percentage of GDP, others not as wealthy but a good deal more generous contribute significantly more.

All the best,
Carl
