The only thing that will really change global warming in the long run is if we radically increase the speed with which we get alternative technologies to deal with climate change.

There is no question that global warming will have a significant impact on already existing problems such as malaria, malnutrition, and water shortages. But this doesn't mean the best way to solve them is to cut carbon emissions.
