In comparison, spending $3 billion annually on mosquito nets, environmentally safe indoor DDT sprays, and subsidies for effective new combination therapies could halve the total number of those infected within one decade. For the money it takes to save one life with carbon cuts, smarter policies could save 78,000 lives.
相比之下，如果在未来十年内能每年拨出30亿美元来鼓励使用蚊帐和室内无害DDT喷雾，以及资助有效的新型综合疗法，就可以在10年内使疟疾受灾人口减半。同样的钱，花在碳减排上只能挽救一条生命，而花在更明智的政策上则能挽救7万8千条生命。
