Second Panel Deadly Sins; Overpopulation, Debauchery, Excess
Third Panel The most nightmarish one; Twisted, decayed and burnt
landscapes; A paradise that has been degraded and destroyed.
In order to fight climate change effectively acknowledge that most of our
economy is based on fossil fuel; coal, oil and natural gas. Oil powers
transportation sector, coal and gas power most electricity.
In order to sustain our dependence on fossil fuel new sources; offshore
drilling for oil, mountain top removal for coal, fracking for natural gas,
tarseince.
No such thing as clean fossil fuel. Exxon and Shell oil sands.
Artic solid blue ice, now it is ice cream type ice. Its ice but when it starts
to melt, it melts fast.
2040 you’ll be able to sail over the north pole, no more sea ice left in the
artic ocean, we are burning so much gossil fuel that the ice is melting,
artic is the air conditioning for the northern hemisphere, if it goes away,
its going to change currents, weather patterns, make floods and droughts
more catastrophic.
Less develop countries with rising population can make the same
transition? India 3rd largest emitter/ Bringing people out of poverty.
Access of energy is as much a challenge as climate change. 300,000,000
people without power and light. Take cow dung and make a cake and
burn it and that is heir source of cooking energy. 30% household of india
access to electricity. India has a vast reservoir of coal, 3 rd or 4th largest
reservoir of coal in the world. Coal is cheap, if you create a problem in the
past, we will create the problem in the future. If it were that easy then I
would have life US to move to solar. Lifestyle and consumption at the
center of climate negotiations.
People like her are rich enough to withstand the first hit of climate change
but its the poor in India, Africa, Bangladesh, who are impacted today to
what is the first signs of climate change. We need countries to believe
that climate change is real and urgent and it is not a figment of their
imagination. Ex. Water rise on the onion farm, they got half the years
rainfall in 5 hours.
US biggest emitter of GHG in history and all benefited from fossil fuels.
KIRIBATI Sever flooding, goes into fresh water ponds = where people get
water from; Adopted the policy of Migration with dignity, they have
bought a piece of land in Fiji. And if people want/wish to relocate today
they can relocate, they must do it as a matter of choice.
Palau the small island nations who contribute the least to the cause of
CC are actually going to feel experience the worst impacts/scenarios
because of global warming. Not just sea level rise, but we have taken
these coastal ecosystem that used to be dominated by abundant fish, and
knock the whole system down and reversing half a billion years of
evolution. 1 billion people depend on fisheries from coral reefs for
virtually all of their protein.
In the last 30 years 50% of all coral has been lost. Oceans are like these
big buffer because they absorb co2. they take up about a 3 rd of co2 that are
dumped into the atmosphere. So because they are the stabilizing force of
the climate, but the ocean cant do its job fast enough with this absurd rate
of co2 emissions.
We are taking away the ecosystems that normally help us stabilize the
climate. Rainforest also absorbs co2 from the atmosphere like oceans.
They store it on the trunks, the leaves, so the co2 emissions are being held
safe for us, until we clear them and light them on fire. It acts like a carbon
bomb and releases massive co2 emissions back into the atmosphere.
Sumatra, Indonesia 3 big rainforest areas left in the world, 1. amazon in
south america 2. congco basin in africa 3. southeast asian rainforest which
spans indonesia. Indonesia where saying fires intentionally set in order
to create palm oil plantation which grows the cheapest vegetable oil in the
world, its in cooking oil, process food, cosmetics, detergents (Burger King,
Walgreens, Nissin, Tyson, Sara Lee, Kraft Heinz, Pepsico, Dorites, Smart
Ones, kraft macaroni and cheese) Expansion of palm oil has taken = 80%
of their forest. Indonesia is one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
Companies bride government to issue permits for them to start burning
the land. Forest fires release corpious amount of carbon.
Beef = releases methane which is worst than co2.
Solar Batteries. Transition the whole world to sustainable energy = you
need 100 factories. Carbon Tax tax for any activity that put carbon into
the atmosphere. Up rise low consumption.
Germany 30% of your electricity from your solar and wind,
Denmark produces 100% of its electricity needs from wind on some days.
Total renewable. Free energy forever once you invest in renewable
energy.
Sweden Boost renewables to become the 1st fossil fuel free nation.
Keeping climate warming to below 2 degrees C, while striving for 1.5. =
Paris Agreement
Threat to world Order = national security. = Barack Obama
More drought in places already dry. Facts: Ice are melting, Earth is
warming, Sea levels are rising. Stop burning fossil fuel, it'll still warm for
a time then it will start to cool again.
