As I like to point out, it would be interesting to see how things would have turned out if the US focus in the early 2000s had been pressing China on issues such as market-orientation, human rights, and democracy, instead of, say, all the War on Terror stuff.

Es incómodo para un científico recordar lo apremiante y grave de la crisis climática, la relativa inacción y los niveles de hipocresía que se gastan en materia climática y ambiental. Es motivante construir un Pacto de Estado por el clima.
