Sometimes it is not that intelligible.  I thank them for their presentations on an issue that demonstrates that we are a global village.  What we do here has repercussions elsewhere.  As other speakers have noted, the Western world has a grave obligation to take steps to address these complex issues.  It is a matter not only of education but also of thinking about the lifestyles we enjoy in the Western world, which rely heavily on fossil fuels.  Costs will be incurred in moving away from that reliance.  Already people in Ireland are facing fuel poverty.
