BONN, GERMANY - Today, at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP23), WHO, in collaboration with the UN Climate Change secretariat and in partnership with the Fijian Presidency of the twenty-third Conference of the Parties (COP23), has launched a special initiative to protect people living in Small Island Developing States from the heath impacts of climate change.

The initiative has 4 main goals.

First, to amplify the voices of health leaders in Small Island Developing States, so they have more impact at home and internationally.

Second, to gather the evidence to support the business case for investment in climate change and health.

Third, to promote policies that improve preparedness and prevention, including "climate proof" health systems.

Fourth, to triple the levels of international financial support to climate and health in small island developing states.

World Health Organization? UN?
There will be no science there whatsoever.

Think Bono or Gore trying to do calculus.

We had record breaking cold on Thursday.

As cold as it has been since 1913.

Someone quick, send me a million dollars.

Fiji aint that big we could build a corrugated tin covering for the entire island out of WWII excess supplies. I am sure they have received their quota of UN sunscreen over the years.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
