Climate Quote by David Keith
““Suppose, for example that the Alliance of Small Island States, a group that has played a vocal role in climate policy, decided to pool resources and begin work. They could choose between many credible suppliers from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited to Brazil’s Embraer. The cost of developing the capability would amount to less than 1% of their GDP over a decade.””
