TEN YEARS TO SAVE THE PLANET FROM MANKING The Stern Report reveals that if governments do nothing, climate change will cost more than both world wars and render swathes of the planet uninhabitable. Can the world find the will to act? Gaby Hinsliff reports THE OBSERVER http://www.guardian.co.uk/ Guardian Unlimited In an age in which even Britons spend £130 million on ghoulish Halloween fripperies, Rachel may seem to be swimming against the tide. In fact, she is part of a new and growing movement. She belongs to Compact, an American group dedicated to avoiding buying unnecessary products; shopping locally, rather than buying goods shipped thousands of miles; and combating the 'negative global, environment and socio-economic impacts of US consumer culture'. It models itself on the Founding Fathers' pledge of piety as they stepped ashore from the Mayflower, not the American Dream of shopping until you drop. Similar beliefs are echoed in Britain by the 'voluntary simplicity' movement - a mix of greens, anti-corporate activists and downshifting professionals who either resist shopping or at least shop more thoughtfully. Their frugality might be familiar to pensioners raised during wartime but, for the new generation of thrifters, it is about principles, not economic necessity. They can afford the gas-guzzling luxuries of modern life: they just don't want them, now that they recognise their environmental cost. The woman refusing yet another plastic supermarket carrier bag or the businessman taking the Eurostar rather than flying to Paris are, in a smaller way, adopting voluntary simplicity. But after tomorrow, many may be asking: what is the point? The economist Sir Nicholas Stern's report on climate change will paint an apocalyptic picture over 700 pages of where global warming could lead, arguing that, unless we act, it will cost more than two world wars and the Great Depression of the Thirties and render swaths of the planet uninhabitable. Even if the world stopped all pollution tomorrow, the slow-growing effects of carbon already pumped into the atmosphere would mean continued climate change for another 30 years - with sea levels rising for a century. Nor, he will say, is unilateral action by one country enough: if Britain closed all its power stations tomorrow, within 13 months China would fill the gap left in global emissions. Given that the effects will be felt around the world - from the collapse of the Amazonian rainforest to the melting of Greenland's ice sheet and changes in the Indian monsoon - the response must be global, too. § SNIP § So what are the answers, and how will our lives change as a result? Gerry Acher has a passion for speed. The businessman, recently made chairman of the Royal Society for the Arts, lives a comfortable life in commuter-belt Surrey: his indulgence is cars, and he has been eagerly awaiting the sporty Mini Cooper S he recently ordered. That was until he began spearheading Carbondaq, a project that aims to get the RSA's 26,000 fellows to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide. After discovering that his own projected carbon emissions next year were 25 tonnes - nearly three times the national average - he cancelled the car for a slower model with lower emissions, and is now preparing to ration his foreign holidays. 'I thought, if I commit myself to driving at the speed limit [which reduces emissions], why am I getting a Mini Cooper Sport?' he says, wistfully. Acher's decisions matter because Carbondaq is essentially a dry run to see whether others could be persuaded into green altruism: it is designed to test whether so-called personal carbon allowances, advocated by the Environment Secretary, David Miliband, would work. Under the scheme, all adults get a free annual 'carbon ration', stored on a swipecard: every time they consume something that contributes to global warming - buying petrol, or booking a flight - an equivalent amount of carbon is deducted. Once the credits are finished, people either pay for extra credits or forego a gas-guzzling activity. 'In my own mind, there is no doubt that [personal carbon allowances] will come,' says Acher. 'This will help us understand people's behaviour, what are going to be the difficult areas.' One of the first to sign up was Miliband himself: if it works, personal carbon allocation could transform the way we shop and - above all - travel. Cheap short-haul flights are at the top of the green target list. Leo Murray of Plane Stupid, a direct action group, says aviation emissions are the obvious target because they doubled between 1990 and 2000, while emissions from other sectors such as industry fell. He dismisses carbon offsetting - paying penance for flights by contributing towards eco-friendly projects such as tree-planting. Plane Stupid just wants travellers to take the train to Paris or Newcastle. § ETC § brought to you courtesy Sir Jean-Paul Turcaud Australia Mining Pioneer Discoverer of Telfer, Nifty & Kintyre mines in the Great Sandy Desert Exploration Geologist & Offshore Consultant Mobile +33 650 171 464 Founder of the True Geology ~ Ignorance is the Cosmic Sin, the One never Forgiven ~ for background info. http://www.tnet.com.au/~warrigal/grule.html http://users.indigo.net.au/don/tel/index.html http://members.iimetro.com.au/~hubbca/turcaud.htm http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/bbing/stories/s28534.htm Email: sir.jean-paul.turcaud(at)neuf.fr |

of course I meant TEN YEARS TO SAVE AUSTRALIA FROM AUSTRALIANS and not TNE http://www.tne.fr/ ( Techniques Nouvelles d'Editions ) which I was browsing at the time. My sincerest apologies for the error, which I know my friends have immediately corrected ...of course ! Thank you With kind regards Sir Jean-Paul Turcaud ------------------------------ |

Kind forward of reply in another thread

Coal is in fact the result of Oil coming either on surface, under the sea or in folded formations. Lignite & peat are however of fossil origin but that origin indeed is very recent. The suppression of other technologies was geared by Westinghouse onwards by those parasites in control of resources & sources of energy... but this is coming to point of rupture now with the Earth as a whole going to point of rupture !... what those degenerated mutants (circumcised indeed) will have to learn is that we are all on the same boat and say the explosion of the Yellowstone will destroy as well the circumcised as the non-circumcised more aware of the Harmonious working of the Universe. You are referring to the Port Arthur Holocaust and the hiring by Howard of that Mossad commando to murder 3 dozen Australians and push through the "Gun Control Law" the Rabbids in control of Australia did want to impose to those Antipodean Goys. The WTC 9/11 Holocaust of 3 000 Americans was as well _ as you know it _ the same type of psy op geared to start the Middle East & far East new oil war, as well as to destroy the Iraq nation sees as a threat to the invaders of Philistine Land ( those genetically modified organisms through 1st puberty manipulation ) Now as the True Geology is well aware, the mere nuclear UNDERGROUND BLASTING ON TANGENTIAL PATH; instead of the usual on axis blasting ( with then the inertia of the whole Earth diameter axis hence over 12 000 km ), the mere say I tangential nuke blasting either by accident or on purpose, since right here I am going the recipe indeed, would immediately if generated on : 1) Latitude on opposition to Earth spin then result in Magmatic sloshing blasting open the Yellowstone, Tambora & probably Rabaul within a mere hours ( the nuke blast will have to be initiated on a hill side facing East then ) The result would be a darkening of the Sun & light for up to 7 days and famines resulting for at least 3 years + of course Cholera plagues etc 2) Longitude at the location of Iran & Persia say, result in almost immediate erratic wobbling of Earth axis inducing by consequence of the magmatic churning 100 of volcanic eruptions under both Polar Caps ( the nuke blast will have to be initiated on a hill side facing the South then ) The result will be sloshing tsunamis of 1000 feet magnitude added to the near immediate melting of Ice caps ! Probably a few Billions would perish in altitude below that 1000 ft mark indeed !!! The scientific Imbeciles and degrees loaded degenerate morons from the ANU, Monash, Curtin ... all the way around the world back to London & Paris whereto the scientific madness started ( Roger Bacon founders of both Universities ) are spouting forth in the meantime their Gogological beuuuliefs like croaking stupid toads they are, full of wind and pretences on their moronic & ultra - specialised knowledge IGNORING THE FOOL that they are sitting on a bomb ready to blast thanks to their Universities crass Ignorance of the first principle directing Nature Laws : AND THIS IS THAT EVERYTHING IS INTER RELATED AND NO KNOWLEDGE IS OF ANY VALUE UNLESS APPREHENDING THE WHOLE. Something the circumcised either Jews or Islamists are unable to apprehend since their ability at synthesis residing in both the Pineal & Interstitial has been willingly destroyed by either the 1st puberty or 2nd puberty endocrinal manipulation & atrophy aka as circumcision by the blood sucking & carrion feeding blinded Goys A world led by such Rabbids is doomed to perdition as it will happen soon indeed unless both the knowledge of the True Geology is imparted & its basis the UPL ( Universal Pressure Law ) approach / understanding as well as practical application are implemented immediately The Rabbids in charge as well as their dastardly descent are on first line now of anything they undertake...like WWIII by ex.... the distance from the battle field will not protect them anymore !!! This is something which has to be driven home in the thick criminal skulls of Bush, Howard & Blair With kindest regards Sir Jean-Paul Traced Australia Mining Pioneer Discoverer of Telfer, Nifty & Kintyre mines in the Great Sandy Desert Exploration Geologist & Offshore Consultant Mobile +33 650 171 464 Founder of the True Geology ~ Ignorance is the Cosmic Sin, the One never Forgiven ~ for background info. http://www.tnet.com.au/~warrigal/grule.html http://users.indigo.net.au/don/tel/index.html http://members.iimetro.com.au/~hubbca/turcaud.htm http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/bbing/stories/s28534.htm Email: sir.jean-paul.turcaud(at)neuf.fr : sir.jean-paul.turcaud(at)neuf.fr |
