Preface

•Energy > development

–First stage - agriculture

–Second stage - fossil fuel

•Sustainable development > more energy

–Fossil fuel emissions may affect climate

–We can control

–We will need more energy


	Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.
	Human knowledge allows us to flourish, in numbers, and with living standards unimaginable to our ancestors.
	Our main advantage is mastery of energy. We started on this path with agriculture. We co-opted animals to work for us. Then we discovered the steam engine and fossil fuels. Our productivity – and numbers - increased many fold.
	Some fear greenhouse gases from fossil fuels will affect climate and constrain development.
	This presentation focuses on managing greenhouse gases. It seems the key to GHG management will be to use even more energy.
