"The Girl Who Silenced the World for Five Minutes" is a speech given by Severn-Cullis Suzuki, daughter of environmental activist David Suzuki, at the UN Conference on Climate Change in Rio de Janeiro.

In this excerpt, Suzuki is arguing that if governments contributed more money towards solving the problem of poverty, the world would be greatly improved. She also states that the money would be available if it was not spent on wars.

She naturally does not believe that money spent on wars is money well-spent. That is why she wants to redirect it into other causes. She also does not state that war costs more money than it would cost to eliminate poverty completely. Finally, she does not say that the world would be perfect if war was eliminated. However, she does state that redirecting money into fighting poverty instead of fighting wars would help solve this issue and would improve the world.

More money would help solve the problem of poverty.
