...down how much warming we'll experience over the next century, or what the exact effects of climate change will be. But we know more every day, and the evidence, while not flawless, is frightening. By all means spend the money to halt malnutrition, or improve reproductive rights, or clean up water sanitation. But if I were asked to come up with the world's most pressing challenge, I wouldn't need to crunch the numbers. It's climate change - because we only have one Earth...
...elsewhere for an alternative to a candidate they are already a little uncertain about.

But nobody else--not the SEC, not the Fed, not the analysts, not investors, not Lehman's board--was putting public pressure on the firm's executives to come clean. Some may have feared inciting a panic like the one at Bear Stearns. I asked Einhorn whether he worried about that. No, he said. "If you're running a financial firm, you need to run it in such a way that you can survive a civil discussion...
