Reducing expenses, suffering and wars


For contributing to world peace I would like to nominate the Chinese 
President Xi Jinping
for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The colossal investments in renewable energy in China will spare the atmosphere for large amounts of carbon dioxide. It corresponds to opening the windows in a house which for whatever reason is getting overheated.

Such efforts will benefit not only China, but all nations. It will reduce the risks resulting from deteriorating habitats, rising sea levels and failing agriculture. 

Whether we like it or not, we all live in the same house. If we do not open the windows we will see famine, wars and large northward displacements of people. No domes exist which can stop both glowing heat, extreme weather events, rising sea levels and huge streams of climate refugees. Streams which will dwarf the already now pressing immigration problem. And nothing can prevent the unimaginable spendings, which will be needed to adapt to the deteriorating conditions. 

Thus, windmills and solar panels will limit the threatening conflicts and wars over the dwindling resources. Conflicts which will destabilise the relations between the great powers and increase the tensions between them to dangerous levels.

For these reasons, President Xi would be an obvious candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.
