I ha–‘ve to do politics now, during Christmas, or around it, but given its planetary importance, urgency, & the recency of the Paris climate conference I wanted to say a few things of midlevel heaviness:
We performed great, in the last assembly for climate change prevention, mitigation, & perhaps even reversal at the U.N. climate conference in Paris at the end of 2015.
However, a non-binding “contribution” pledge to 2.7 degrees warming, by even the U.N. estimates, means we have set a fire of enthusiasm, of global focus, but/and we are at a sojourn on this odyssey, not the final destiny of it. We have much more to do to discuss/teach & eventually ‘make it happen’ with respect to committing to legally-binding safe planetary warming levels, & the energy sources to live a comfortable, sustainable way of human life.
Remember too that in many cases we’re talking about making the most beautiful parts of the world uninhabitable. This is not a business side decision. Oppose & see jail; this is the long term habitability of the Earth here, we are discussing.
Exxon might host some extra money made post knowledge of climate change occurring from fossil fuels, from burning & promoting fossil fuel burning.
If anything is part of our basic prohibitions, that should be. Endangering the Earth. Under no case would the sensible part of the world promote endangering our habitability on Earth.
I was saying this same thing about organic foods, a somewhat nearly-related cause, actually, John Kerry said – & it’s a good thing to say: there has perhaps not been as big of a both ethical & profitable opportunity, or very many at least, as sustainable energy goods & services of all kinds, from solar panels to documentaries about important, helpful things to do with this here. Put your money where your future is – in a couple senses, & research & learn what would be best & how best, in the big picture, it could be provided for people.
Finally, I want to temper our hand to a 2016-long commitment to overcoming the threat of climate change to us — if you know something more important, just inbox me —
Thank you=D
