In his lecture "Innovating to zero" Mr. Bill Gates seems to be linking the value of each human life to our "Carbon Footprint?"
His idea is founded almost totally on the idea that the Al Gore "Carbon Tax Thesis" is the best and most effective way to address the supposed threats of climate change to all eight billion of us.
I believe on the other hand that a Carbon Tax will do essentially NOTHING to prevent ocean levels from rising and I have been advocating deliberately turning deserts green instead of any variation on a Carbon Tax. I believe that for the next decades to two centuries the threat of rising ocean levels is the threat that should be concentrated on?
I believe that deliberately turning deserts green is the most logical way to address climate change because every cubic meter of sea water that is desalinated and added to the water table of a nation with lots of desert will directly address the threat of rising ocean levels and will produce MORE FOOD!
I believe that the Life Review of near death experience accounts hints strongly that we humans have an Inventor and Creator and Designer who is composed of something like "Energy from Quantum Vacuum" who places such infinitely high value on each human life that the Spirit of Moshiach stored in Gan Eden, or the Word - Logos, was sent to this earth two millennia ago, in order to taste death on behalf of every human being, [so that we humans would not have to experience the Second Death?]
Sometimes hearing an idea over and over again will make it very difficult for us to catch onto the huge implications in that quotation?
I am of the belief that the Life Review of near death experience accounts strongly hints that all eight billion of us have a Creator who has set up all of us as Reality Film Stars, [from the point of view of our Creator], and INFINITE VALUE IS PLACED ON EACH HUMAN LIFE!
Why would our Creator bother to "record" our thoughts, our intentions, our emotions, our actions, our decisions and how our words and actions have affected everybody around us if our lives were not of ETERNAL Value over infinite time in the future?
Former Atheist and near death experiencer Howard Storm does a brilliant job, [in my opinion anyway], of explaining how Atheists and Agnostics, are not judged by some sort of religion specific rules and regulation, but are instead judged on how they treat their family, their friends and everybody that we have the privilege to be in contact with.

I believe that former Atheist and near death experiencer Howard Storm, was taught by the Greatest Educator and Teacher in the universe and in the Multiverse.[Howard Storm] :
"4. The Life Review of Howard Storm
Next, they wanted to talk about my life. To my surprise my life played out before me, maybe six or eight feet in front of me, from beginning to end.
The life review was very much in their control, and they showed me my life, but not from my point of view. I saw me in my life and this whole thing was a lesson, even though I didn’t know it at the time. They were trying to teach me something, but I didn’t know it was a teaching experience, because I didn’t know that I would be coming back. We just watched my life from beginning to the end. Some things they slowed down on, and zoomed in on and other things they went right through.
My life was shown in a way that I had never thought of before. All of the things that I had worked to achieve, the recognition that I had worked for, in elementary school, in high school, in college, and in my career, they meant nothing in this setting.
I could feel their feelings of sorrow and suffering, or joy, as my life’s review unfolded. They didn’t say that something was bad or good, but I could feel it. And I could sense all those things they were indifferent to. They didn’t, for example, look down on my high school shot-put record. They just didn’t feel anything towards it, nor towards other things which I had taken so much pride in.
What they responded to was how I had interacted with other people. That was the long and short of it. Unfortunately, most of my interactions with other people didn’t measure up with how I should have interacted, which was in a loving way. Whenever I did react during my life in a loving way they rejoiced.
Most of the time I found that my interactions with other people had been manipulative. During my professional career, for example, I saw myself sitting in my office, playing the college professor, while a student came to me with a personal problem. I sat there looking compassionate, and patient, and loving, while inside I was bored to death. I would check my watch under my desk as I anxiously waited for the student to finish.
I got to go through all those kinds of experiences in the company of these magnificent beings."
