OBAMA GET WITH THE PROGRAM, WHEN YOU TALK TO THE U.N. TODAY....LEAD [update...he did!]!
The United Nations has failed in its attempt to move the world to saving itself by seriously creating, funding and executing police to stop global warming.
CARBON EMISSIONS IS CHOKING US WITH THE AIR WE BREATH AND ROASTING US.
What is amazing from the last conference, a one day United Nations conference, is that the bad guy China has positioned them selves as the good guy in the global warming battle. Have no doubt that lives and big money are at stake.
Did you know heat waves and droughts are on the increase and there has been an acceleration in the melting of glaciers and the recession of the Greenland ice sheet. Our world may not be dying but is changing and we are the cause by our carbon emissions. Could the collapse be self inflicted ,a form or a species global warming suicide?
World leaders must find and agree on ambitious and binding global policy at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December.
CHINA SAYS IT HAS A PLAN TO KEEP AUTO EMISSIONS FROM KILLING US ALL.
HOW HYPOCTRITCA; IS THE CHINESE POSITION, LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING
1. China just became the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases.
2. China will not countenance any limits on its emissions—at the December Copenhagen summit or for decades to come.
3.China demands that rich countries pay for its efforts to clean up.
4.China will not abide rich countries trying to level the environmental playing field by using “carbon tariffs.”
5. China intends to rely primarily on coal to power its fast-growing economy.
6.China doesn’t have any illusions about “clean coal.”
7.China pumps nearly a quarter of the world's carbon emissions into the air
8.In urban areas, 90 per cent of river water and half of underground water is polluted.
9.Quarter of landmass and roughly 400 million lives affected by desertification, attributed to climate change as well as 'land mismanagement.'
10.Government has pledged to plant enough forest to cover area size of Norway within decade.
11.Aims to generate 15 per cent of energy needs from renewable sources, such as the sun, within decade
12.Investing millions of dollars to harness wind power, with plans to build seven mega bases by 2019.
Why is China rapidly becoming a climate-change darling. Because we fear power, they have too many people and too much money. As environmental concerns ravage their emerging middle class and crush their economy do we stand idly by or act?
The December conference is critical because the guiding policy found in the Kyoto Protocol is phasing out.
Insiders applauded China and Japan for talking like leaders when they have in fact done little.
China and the U.S are involved in a cat ands mouse game of You go first no you go first.
Talk is cheap ,what we, the human beings that populate this planet , NEED is for our industrial pollution actions to not kill us.
We need funded policy not talk.
So far the Chinese politicians have out talked the American politicians.
We will have no credibility in the Global Warming debate until we adopt, fund and execute policy.
The international debate is caught in the haze of classical arguments of Big vs. Small countries, Rich vs. Poor, Developed vs. underdeveloped nations . We have heard this song before ,lets just call it the haves and the have notes.
The poor countries, which are least responsible for the problem of climate change, often suffered first and most from its impact.
“1.Sub-Saharan Africa, in the deltas of Asia or among the Pacific Islands and elsewhere, climate changes such as rising sea levels,
2.floods,
3.droughts,
4.hurricanes
5.and other changed weather patterns are threatening not only hard-won progress in the battle against poverty, but the existence of entire nations,”
The world is watching Obama in the health care debate to see if he is powerful and can cause heath care change in US domestic policy. If he fails there he will get the "back row" in the international debate, just another weak American president.
Some say and I agree it will be “morally inexcusable" if the policy is not created to move the worlds industries not killing us with carbon emissions.
The United States must lead in Global Warming international environmental policy.
