GWDF2 D12b 'The risk of doing nothing, too little, too late... to avert Environmental Armageddon outweighs the risk of doing something potentially suboptimal. From the standpoint of 200 billion kids, anything is better than nothing, if it promises to be commensurate with, potentially proportional to the impending horror.'

Bio: During his lifetime, A. J. Muste
was regarded as one of the most prominent spokesmen for the pacifist

‘K indicates.
