Have the real possibility, unfortunately a high probability, that consequences would be vast multiples of the base case. Instead of just being severe, in addition to being severe, in the long run it would become catastrophic. We can expand on that in our conversation. Secondly, i said to a friend of mine the other day who is a wellknown new york this newsman this businessman that i had developed an intense concern about this. He said we can deal with this decades done the road. I said no, the reason, as many of you know, the decay rate of Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere is hundreds of years. What we do today will affect us for hundreds of years. Theyre cumulative, they are irreversible, and as a consequence, this is an issue that cannot wait. As hank paulson observed to me the other day, if you look past over the cap past 10 years and see the predictions climate scientist have made, they bring forward the timeframe when the severe consequences occurred. This is an issue that we have
And hope that the allies come along with us. And are willing to fight on behalf of this cause understanding what our own limitations are. A lady in the back there. And this will have to be pretty close to the last question. Having been Senior Adviser and tactical instructor to the u. S. Marine corps on counterinsurgency in both iraq and afghanistan, one of the things that struck me most is we say the right thing as one of the gentleman on the podium said. We very rarely are seen to be doing the right thing. Very often that is manifest in the socalled experts we have sent to particularly around but to some extent in afghanistan and iraq where there are lots of experts with no expertise, confined to mega bases and many cities and dont really know what we are dealing with. We need to be within a community, those that have grudges, grievances, and frustrations. Sadly, we have abdicated that role either being unwilling or unable to tackle how communities think and deal and the vacuum and av
Citizens. Lets let them have freedom of movement and lets give them take there, lets sewage out of their cap met. Lets treat them no longer as criminals. If you look at the 10 points, it reads like americas declaration of independence. In favor of freedom of religion, freedom of the press, all of the things we hold near and dear in america. Why should they not be a friend of america and why should we support them . We expect that of them. After all, america guaranteed their safety and security. We should not say we no longer have a role in that just because we are no longer in iraq. We need to let the Prime Minister know we treat them as if they are american citizens and any attack on them is an attack against america. Host iran u. S. Ambassador was asked about what the u. S.

So there is a lot of need to exchange information. And the announcement that my colleague is going to talk about not only for the ability to improve patient care but also to begin to study the effect of the countries. So, we do hope it would be possible to conduct the trial in the coming months. We have already begun discussions with all of the developers about how hey could do that. They are at the earliest stages of development. There is no impetus to manufacture it in that large scale. This constrains options for doing large scale products right now and to widebly distribute a product that is investigational. And also to be able to establish the needs of safety. To do that, we need to do a clinical trial. It seem like a daunting, daunting endeavor. The announcement by the president is really very critical. Not only to taking care of, for the ability to improve patient care but also to be able to begin to study these products in the affected countries. We do hope that it will be poss
