short term and long term

The short-term goal is to get a serious carbon tax enacted.

The long-term goal is that the human population of this planet has to be cut.  If we want a world in which everybody can achieve a Western-style level of affluence, we can't get it with 7 billion of us on the planet.  I've read somewhere that to achieve that, we'd need four or five planet Earths to provide the necessary resources.
