Alternattiva Demokratika – The Green Party said that even though the Kyoto protocol was saved through the Durban Climate Change summit, no concrete decisions were taken to prioritise the climate change issue on a global level.
Carmel Cacopardo AD spokesperson on sustainable development said, “The climate change talks in Durban have failed once more. They are a failure of the international community to arrive at a solution. Instead the issues were just postponed to another time. The agreement to conclude by 2015 and implement by 2020 is no conclusion at all as when the agreed deadlines are reached the same issues which have prevented conclusion today will probably crop up once more.”
“Equity has proven to be a main issue as regards the politics of climate change: with India insisting that there is a common but differentiated responsibility towards carbon emissions. This issue has not been abandoned. It will crop up again when negotiations resume on the manner to implement the agreed roadmap. A Green Climate Fund has been set up to assist undeveloped countries. Yet who will contribute, and by how much has still to be determined.”
“The Durban Platform for Enhanced Action has been agreed to because it does not determine one concrete deliverable. Diplomacy may have had a good day as the Kyoto Protocol has been saved. But the climate is a loser as urgent decisions have once again been postponed.”
Michael Briguglio, AD Chairperson, said, “The biggest disappointment is that whilst there is global consensus that the tragic consequences of climate change can be prevented, yet the issue is not being given the priority it deserves on a global level. Once severe impacts will be closer to the global community, it will probably be too late to adapt to change. Compared to other global powers such as the USA and BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China), the EU has a historic role to play as world leader in the politics of climate change.”
I’m a parent and a liberal and I try to be a good steward of the planet but I’m no longer convinced that the scientists are being honest because the exaggeration is all too obvious and besides, why would I look for reasons to believe in the worst crisis imaginable, that being catastrophic climate crisis. Nothing could be worse than a climate crisis outside of a comet hit, solar storms, nuclear war, polarity reversal and volcanoes. This is the end of the world for us but mostly our children’s future and I can’t keep condemning my kids to the greenhouse gas chambers like some trashy, fear mongering neocon.
Can science and scientists be corrupt? Yes! For decades they denied the dangers of the pesticides they gave us that polluted the planet in the first place. Science gave us germ warfare, land mine technology, cruise missiles and deadly chemicals. I’m happy the CO2 science was a consultant’s wet dream and there should be more good news in environmental stewardship instead of holding this spear of fear to our children’s backs. Remember when Nature was a true love for Nature? Now it’s just a CO2 death threat we hang over our kid’s heads.
I don’t know anybody that is still willing to combat climate change because “combating climate change” is controlling the planet’s climate fluctuation cycles with human struggle and sacrifice of lifestyle, or as history will call it, omen worship. “I see the changes…………” Climate change was pure mass insanity because it wasn’t about a changing climate; it was about controlling a changing climate. Just who are the all-powerful immortal gods anymore? Human monkeys?
So I did some research and here is what I found:
-there are countless thousands of consensus climate change scientists yet they never show themselves in any great numbers nor act like it’s the worst disaster imaginable. They have kids too you know.
-occupywallstreet’s list of demands does not mention climate change and Obama didn’t mention the worst crisis imaginable in his last state of the union address.
-the CO2 theory states that there will be effects and the effects will be from negligible to nothing to complete out of control, runaway unstoppable warming of the planet Earth. Gee, what’s not to agree with?
-there are tropical fossils under the melting ice and on every continent.
-almost all consensus research is on effects, not causes.
-almost all consensus science is publicly funded.
-all of denier research science is on the causes and proving CO2 fears rather than just on assumed “effects”.
-there is plenty of reputable science stating the CO2 fears were exaggerated.
-almost all denier science is private.
-exaggeration is not a crime.
-academia studying the effects of an assumed to be real worst case scenario is not a scientific crime.
In the end the belief in this tragic exaggeration clings to WHO is saying what instead of WHAT is being said and that is good enough for me to stop condemning billions to their CO2 deaths.
REAL planet lovers are happy a crisis was averted since the crisis was exaggerated.
