The Heat is On
15th September 2014MalloyProducer4 Comments
Drought, heat, wildfires, hurricane threats . . . . the West Coast is experiencing a particularly terrible period of environmental destruction. You can imagine Pat Robertson’s “God’s pissed” predictions about the “immoral” left coast. Meanwhile, those of us not afflicted with religious insanity wonder what amount of devastation is necessary before politicos are forced to admit global climate change is real.
The upcoming United Nations forum on climate change in New York on the 23rd promises some headliner attendees, but how much of the event is just for show? A pretense to demonstrate to their countrymen that they, too, care about the environment. This is from InterPress:
The much-ballyhooed one-day Climate Summit next week is being hyped as one of the major political-environmental events at the United Nations this year. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged over 120 of the world’s political and business leaders, who are expected to participate in the talk-fest, to announce significant and substantial initiatives, including funding commitments, “to help move the world towards a path that will limit global warming.
But what really can one expect from a one-day event lasting probably over 12 hours of talk time, come Sep. 23? “A one-day event was never going to solve everything about climate change, but it could have been a turning point by demonstrating renewed political will to act,” Timothy Gore, head of policy, advocacy and research for the GROW Campaign at Oxfam International, told IPS.
The Green Climate Fund (GCF), which was launched in 2011, is expected to mobilise about 100 billion dollars per year from developed nations by 2020, according to the United Nations. But it is yet to receive any funds that can be disbursed to developing countries to undertake their climate actions.
Dipti Bhatnagar, climate justice and energy co-coordinator for Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) and Justica Ambiental (FoE Mozambique), told IPS, “On Sep. 23 we will see world leaders falling far short of delivering what we need to tackle dangerous climate change.”
The Climate Summit is completely inadequate and expected ‘pledges’ by governments and business at the Summit will be tremendously insufficient in the face of the climate catastrophe, she warned.
“The whole idea of leaders making voluntary, non-binding pledges itself is an insult to the hundreds of thousands of people dying every year because of the impacts of climate change,” Bhatnagar said. “We need equitable, ambitious and binding emissions reduction targets from industrialised countries – not a parade of leaders trying to make themselves look good.
“But this fake parade is the only thing we will see at this one-day summit,” she added.
On Sep. 21, two days ahead of the summit, hundreds of thousands of people will march against climate change in New York and in cities across the globe. Martin Kaiser, leader of the Global Climate Policy project at Greenpeace, told IPS, “We welcome Ban Ki-moon hosting a global climate summit this month and will be on the streets of New York on Sep. 21 as the largest climate march in history sends a loud and clear message that world leaders must act now.”
Mike will be at that Sunday march in NYC, Truthseekers, for what it’s worth. There is not much hope that our current crop of cronies in Congress will ever take the issue as seriously as they do, say, making sure it’s legal to carry assault weapons into your local Chuck E Cheese. And in some locales, it seems the trend toward meaningful ecological legislation is actually going in reverse.
Take Texas (please!) where proposed changes to science text books would officially cast a doubt on the factual data behind climate change realities. The National Journal reports:
Texas Board of Education member David Bradley wants to set the record straight on global warming.
“Whether global warming is a myth or whether it’s actually happening, that’s very much up for debate,” Bradley said. “Don’t listen to anyone who tells you otherwise.” Bradley is not a climate scientist, but he’s about to make big decisions governing what Texas students learn about climate change.
In November, Bradley and the rest of the state’s 15-member board will vote to adopt new social-studies textbooks for public schools from kindergarten to 12th grade. When he does, he says that part of his mission will be to shield Lone Star schoolchildren from green propaganda. Instead, Bradley plans to push for textbooks that teach climate-science doubt—presenting the link between greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activity and global warming as an unsubstantiated and controversial theory.
When it comes time to review the textbooks, Bradley will have plenty of instructional materials created by some of the publishing industry’s major players to back his viewpoint.
A fifth-grade social studies textbook submitted by Pearson—the largest educational publisher in the world—similarly casts doubt on the science.
Burning oil to run cars also releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Some scientists believe that this carbon dioxide could lead to a slow heating of Earth’s overall climate. This temperature change is known as global warming or climate change. Scientists disagree about what is causing climate change.
The Texas Freedom Network, a left-leaning education watchdog, says this fits a disturbing pattern of textbook companies peddling climate denial to Texas students. The watchdog group commissioned an independent review of the textbooks by the National Center for Science Education. Out of 19 textbooks surveyed, at least seven—including several from high-profile publishers that have gotten approval from the Board of Education in the past—contained misrepresentations of scientific fact, the study found.
Green propaganda. Much like the Rapture Righties who demand that creationsim be taught along side of evolution in public school text books, as if the Bible is some kind of scholarly, scientific research reference guide.
And we wonder why the US ranks close to the bottom of all developed nations in terms of education, particularly in the sciences?
