IPCC Report! Earth’s Ready To Start Handing Out Pink Slips!
Monday, November 19, 2007
Mother Earth will make her position, as the Ultimate Despot, known one way or another. Just as a fetus signals its mother host with what is known as the quickening, our mother host earth has been signaling her guests, that’s us, with a type of quickening of her own.
The IPCC, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has presented its 4th and final report for 2007 on Climate Change in Valencia, Spain. The report was compiled from thousands of pages of research data taking place over some 6 years. The research leaves no room for denial that mankind is getting ready to receive its eviction notice from the womb of its Mother Earth.
This report will be in the hands of 10,000 delegates expected in Bali December 3rd through the 14th when they gather to beat, whip and discuss ad nauseam the could’a, should’a, would’a of climate change and its ‘potential’ affect on humanity.
In many ways this final report of 2007 gives hope to humanity that something really meaningful will take place in the effort to bring the earth’s inhabitants into complete alignment on the climate change front.
Quotes from the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali Webpage.
“Our Goals must be nothing short of a real breakthrough in Bali.” Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General.
“…the Bali climate conference so crucial to the future of humankind.” H.E. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, President of Indonesia.
“…therefore climate change is accelerating.” Rajendra Pachauri, Chair of the IPCC.
‘The consequences of global climate change are so pressing that it doesn’t matter who is responsible for the past, what matters is who is responsible for the future…” “But one responsibility we all have, and that is action…action, action, action!” Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California.
Many of the words used in reporting the conclusions of the final report lean on the old familiar non-committal language of the past such as ‘potential’, ‘could lead to’ and ‘unless’.
Pacific Spirit Marine Institute would like to see language erring on the side of substance and action such as; ‘will lead to’ ‘until’ and ‘evidence’.
We have long past the time for speculating on the ‘might’, ‘could’ and ‘may’ language of Global Warming and Climate Change.
There is evidence man made pollution, greenhouse gases and the wanton disregard for the planet we have shown during the industrial age have lead us down a path of destruction. Every person in the developed nations needs to immediately cease and desist walking with blinders on.
Begin taking steps at home to start giving aide and comfort to the earth. She is not our enemy.
Every sheet of paper, every can or bottle that ends up in your personal garbage can should break your heart to the point of taking action.
It’s a lofty idea to think that 10,000 delegates from around the world will travel to Bali and solve the problems we are facing, but 10,000 delegates is the picture of trying to build an elephant by committee. Before they have even touched pen to paper they 10,000 extra people traveling to one location have already added to the problem of pollution.
Restoring health to the oceans will go a long way toward helping to heal the rest of the planet’s problems. Politics, industry and man’s penchant for over-indulgence all go hand in hand hurling us into a future we cannot contemplate.
