ar energy kenya south australia stop adani sustainabilty switzerland tesla townsville tzm uk united nations united states vanuatu water weather western australia wind world bank on january 19 2019 by john leave a comment a moral call to action on the climatecrisis auspol qldpol nswpol stopadani demand a greennewdeal climatestrike extinctionrebelliono if you just met al gore you might be hard pressed to know that the environmentalist ever did anything else al gore with a 2006 academy award for his film an inconvenient truth and a 2007 nobel peace prize for his environmental advocacy gore has seamlessly shifted from high level politician to one of the world s leading voices on the threat of climate change i enjoyed the years i spent in elected office and i enjoyed politics gore told the atlanta journal constitution but i feel privileged to be able to serve in other ways and it feels like the right thing to do i have worked on this issue for more than 40 years and more people are seeing the impact in march the former u s senator vice president and democratic presidential nominee will bring his climate reality leadership corps to atlanta for a three day meeting to train activists on environmental justice and climate change gore said the training will focus on several key themes as well as the challenges that the climate crisis poses to vulnerable communities including how it is changing the southeast how fossil fuels threaten the health of low income families and communities of color and how clean energy can help to right historical injustices and create opportunities we are changing the conditions that have given rise to the flourishing of humanity gore said how can we tell our grandkids that we are in the process of destroying the environment this is a crisis like we have never experienced before that is why i spend so much of my time training grassroots activists all over the world the event the 40th time that gore has hosted this kind of training will also for the first time include a moral call to action on the climate crisis an interfaith mass meeting at ebenezer baptist church featuring the historic church s pastor the rev raphael g warnock and the rev william j barber ii a 2018 macarthur fellow the rev william barber ii is the leader of the moral monday movement that advocates for social justice barber delivered the keyote speech during the 48th martin luther king jr annual commemorative service at ebenezer baptist church in atlanta photo jonathan phillips special the climate crisis as many of us have said for a long time is not a political issue gore said it is a moral and spiritual issue for the survival of humanity gore said there would be a particular focus on environmental justice and he argues that for

communities which he wants faith leaders to address too often the climate crisis inflicts deep and disproportionate burdens on those least responsible for causing it gore said we will succeed in climate action when we prioritize inclusivity climate solutions must be fair and equitable for all people warnock whose church was once co pastored by 1964 nobel peace prize winner martin luther king jr said the environment is a moral and justice issue that civil rights leaders and climate change activists have just recently begun to find common ground on the rev raphael g warnock of ebenezer baptist church said climate change is a civil and human rights issue photo branden camp traditionally the civil rights activists and climate change activists have not sufficiently engaged one another warnock said that is unfortunate because climate change is a civil and human rights issue and issues traditionally raised by the civil rights community that leave certain communities more vulnerable but there is also a religious battle simmering among evangelical christians over whether climate change is a liberal hoax flawed science or an affront to the concept of human existence they are being encouraged by president donald trump who has rolled back many of president barack obama s environmental policies that aimed to curb climate change and limit environmental pollution and on wednesday andrew wheeler a former coal lobbyist trump nominated to run the environmental protection agency declined to identify climate change as a crisis requiring unprecedented action from the united states how can you not believe in climate change warnock asked we are way past a period when we could be concerned about the politics climate change is not something that is coming it is here it is way past

stopadani demand a greennewdeal climatestrike extinctionrebellion ignore australian propaganda editorial board washington post another day another study showing terrible news for the climate there is a danger that scientists findings are coming so often and sounding so dire that even thoughtful observers will tire of being alarmed but alarm is the only reasonable reaction last week began with the news that greenhouse gas emissions from the united states shot up 3 4 percent last year a rattling reversal from recent years republicans who favor doing little to nothing on climate change often argue that u s emissions have been declining without more federal intervention but it is fantasy to imagine that the pace of decline let alone the even more aggressive rate of change the world needs is sustainable without government action the nation must adopt policies such as a carbon tax that would encourage economic growth without emissions growth also last week the journal science published a study finding that the oceans are warming at a terrifying pace 40 to 50 percent faster than the united nations had previously estimated the world s waters soak up nearly all the extra heat humans help add to the earth s energy balance and the consequences will include more massive coral die offs depleted fisheries sea level rise flooding mega storms that pack more power and rain and less oxygen in the ocean that undersea creatures need to live already a fifth of the world s corals have died in the past three years a harbinger of the changes to come by monday yet another study published in the proceedings of the national academy of sciences revealed that antarctica s enormous ice reserves are melting six times faster now than they were between 1979 and 1989 warming ocean water and deteriorating ice structures help explain the accelerating pace faster melting in the coming years means that ocean levels could rise even higher than the already predicted three feet globally by 2100 barring a change in course experts have more research to do particularly on the state of east antarctica s enormous glaciers the prospect of large scale ice deterioration there is horrifying these findings particularly the new ocean warming estimates underscore a crucial point in the climate debate critics point to uncertainties around climatic observations and predictions arguing that things might be better than experts median estimates suggest but things might also be worse scientific uncertainty cuts both ways by doing too little to respond to the warming threat humans are effectively betting their future on the notion that the climate consequences of their behaviors will fall on the relatively benign end of the spectrum of possibilities but they could also fall on the far more severe end world leaders should be scrambling to buy insurance against that risk by investing in emissions free technologies instead president trump ignores the issue except to dismiss it and even leaders who acknowledge the problem do too little future generations will find it unthinkable that the world responded so weakly in the face of such clear warnings press link for

pollutants in the air can penetrate respiratory and circulatory systems damaging the lungs heart and brain killing 7 million people prematurely every year from diseases such as cancer stroke heart and

extreme fires droughts and hurricanes that have wreaked devastation on our country this past year the climate crisis is here million fish die in australia s murray darling river system we need a green new deal to prevent climate catastrophe and fight rising social racial economic and gender inequities at its root the climate crisis is the result of an economic system based on ever increasing consumption that pushes the earth beyond its ecological limits this system has also turned what should be a human right from energy to food to clean air and water into commodities we need to remake financial and economic systems so that they serve people and the planet not the other way around we must also account for the united states tremendous ecological debt to the global south and its responsibility as the largest historical climate polluter to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide finance for people in developing countries commensurate with what science and justice demand 23 000 fruit bats die in cairns australia during recent heatwave there is no room for the half solutions of the past we cannot allow the vast political power of the fossil fuel or industrial agriculture lobbies to advance policies that continue our reliance on dirty energy and unsustainable food systems the real answer to the climate change crisis lies in changing the way we manage
