A CALL TO A GLOBAL CLIMATE ACT

Dec 17 2009

Thursday

Earth

autumn

It would seem, an agreement, action and a "legal act", here and now in Copenhagen, is more achievable perhaps, if rather than focus on what we must give up or perhaps lose, focus instead on what we stand to keep. True perhaps, it may not be so much a question or case here, on what we may stand to gain per sae, as what we stand to gain translates more to what we stand to keep.

What then do we stand to keep? Well if we can agree and thus work together in cooperation in this, we stand to keep much of what we truly know and understand to be good in this world, the clean air and skies, the fresh waters, the lush lands and forests, the frozen poles and glaciers, the predictable seasons and weather, the golden crops and orchards, the steadfast oceans etc etc. and not so much only a good and secure economy. We stand to keep these then and pass them on as our inheritance to the future generations, things more necessary to them than just mere money or gold, if we make the sacrifices and commitments we need to make and keep now. If we sacrifice our inappropriate human activities and over-activities and our wastefulness, greed, overindulgence and excess such can we keep. We have thus over the years, developed many bad habits, that we must now lessen and break not only thus for the sake of the future but for the sake of us and our own health and well being in the here and now. Break and lessen in order to keep this good Earth we know and love in the good stead that it deserves, for it, we can all and must all now admit and concede, is our greater host and being and hence worthy of such.

Lets do this then, Make this climate pact or act. Do it for ourselves, the future and the Earth because it is the right and just thing to do, to help us to keep and preserve the goodness and wholeness, we humanity, all cherish, know, love and endear, now, for the future and perhaps always.

The Economy is after all and ultimately a subset of the Environment and not the Environment being a subset of the Economy. This then was the fatal flaw of Classical Economics.

Here's another site with lots of interesting and often conflicting points of view .. [link]

thanks for the links scotty


I suppose the idea of the developed nations giving or lending monies and resources to the developing nations is that such is conditional upon the developing nations using it strictly to develop greener and cleaner technologies and to offset as well the effects of global man made climate change on them caused or seen as being caused my the developed nations over the last 50 years. The developed nations point on the matter that there be some oversight or regulating body to ensure compliance and proper use of the funds in accordance to the conditions is to be expected and perhaps prudent and mandatory as well, to ensure that the developing nations do not further exacerbate the climate change situation.

Hmmmm
Strikes me then that what is needed more than a global climate deal is some kind of new Global Climate Change Regulating body to ensure that any made and ongoing deals and conditions on climate and climate change are adhered to. No point after all of having deals and conditions if there is no way to ensure they are being met. Perhaps a role in this then for the new G20 governing body.
What will happen after all it would seem is a deal will or may come out of this and everyone will go home and nothing will continue to be done. So may a deal then but form a Global Climate Regulating Body as well.  

17 Dec 2009 @ 19:02 by scotty : climate body hmmm
I don't really trust any of them
lending money to developing nations is just a way of forcing them into dept
and forcing conditions on them - like - they must buy from developed nations (IMHO of course )

I think that everyone has to have a rethink about the planet in general - remembering that it's our kids and grandkids who are going to be left with the shit ..

I think that nothing good will come of any of it untill we all evolve .. hopefully we'll manage in time ..
If not then good ol mother nature will become all nice and clean and fresh and green again without us thankyou very much LOL  

17 Dec 2009 @ 19:15 by swanny @70.65.9.110 : Working with what we got
Well sadly they are perhaps not worthy of trust true or even respect
but we have to work with what we've got as unevolved as it may be
Sure the world isn't perfect and probably never will be unless
we change our human nature but I don't see that happening in the next 24 hours
unless perhaps there's some divine intervention of some sort, so I guess
hope and pray thus for the best as well as the above.  

17 Dec 2009 @ 20:04 by scotty : yep that's it
work with what we've got - not forgetting that we've got everything ;-)

maybe just need to make other choices eh !
