What should governments do to fight climate change? The world is emitting huge amounts of greenhouse gases that are changing our climate. If our governments don't take serious action to cut emissions soon, climate change could have a disastrous and irreversible impact on our planet within the lifetime of today's young generation. Join this group, post a message and show your commitment to fighting climate change. By posting a message you can encourage governments to take action in the fight against climate change. Your message will be presented to leading EU officials during the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, 7-18 December 2009. If you want to fight climate change show your commitment and leave a message. Now is the time to act!

The official UN negotiation process of climate change has been side tracked during the Copenhagen Accord and the latter cannot sustain certainly longer. ‘SBSTA’ should come up urgently with their advice for reviewing presently accepted 2 degree Celsius rise. It should be 1.5 degree Celsius.

I think that the kids education is our future. Governments should implement some kind of "Earth conscience"in the education of the young so they will understand better than us that the planet needs us to understand that we need her. Without our planet we do not exist. It is easy as that. The same conscience can be taught for us through all media. The time to start is now. / 14 days ago

: DIP.jpg; Decision makers can react to this knot of problems in two key ways: 1. By intensive greening (more trees and leafs - more absorbed CO2, preserved moisture/WATER, more stable soil, more jobs, more own produced FOOD by the locals, more income and profits, more stable economies and more well living people, improved security, etc.). This step alone won't help, because industrial pollution will go on. 2. By sophisticated filtering and energy efficient systems radically reducing heat-trapping gases that flow in the atmosphere – all shaped in one international system of standards, which does not allow one to take unfair advantage compared to the others. Only limiting our greenhouse emissions (CCS techniques alone) won't help, because desertification, drought, water/food shortage and following social problems will continue. So, there must be applied both methods. I'd like to introduce you one vision about how to tackle Climate Change consequences, as part of a bigger economic development mechanism. Basics: 1. We experience very heavy economic crisis affecting many types of business and millions of people. 2. Many scientists conclude that the economic consequences from the worsening environmental situation resulting from climate change will be even heavier. For instance: the financial loses from just one hurricane are measured in hundreds of billions of dollars. 3. Energy issue and its multiple aspects "weight" more and more: growing needs, prices, abundance, political independence, degree of pollution, etc. Unprecedented situation requires unprecedented steps. In this relation, I would like to ask you kindly to consider the possibilities described in Desert Ice Project - http://www.deserticeproject.com There you will find a description of the project aimed to fight global warming (and related desertification / drought, food and water shortage, poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, illegal immigration, terror, violence and conflicts, etc.) by global, complex measures - global initiative / network of local focused solutions to specific regions. If the situation is so bad and even going worse, we must not exclude any alternative. This is a large economic initiative that will mobilize many sectors of business - engineering, construction, banking, security, education, agriculture, science, etc. DIP includes large infrastructure projects, which will attract large contractors, and long chain of subcontractors; taking credits; reconsidering ideas that were underestimated so far. For instance: directing resources to "green" production, let say solar panels will open a lots of new jobs in this sector, and this will lower the prices, which will make these panels more accessible by more people. And then the government may oblige business and households for their massive usage - for every car / building roof, for every cell phone and laptop, etc. Unlike the geo-engineering projects this operation is the most natural one. It only reverses the "negative geo-engineering" that we already did to some places in our planet - deforestation, pollution, too much land used for grazing, etc. Many of its stages are applied already in different parts of the world. They just need to be connected in one system. Many requirements set by environmentalists seem to be too expensive from the economists' point of view. And the opposite - what industry and business want is often unacceptable by the green. This project tries to find the crossing point between, and both sides should assess it. We are almost 7 billion (mankind will pass this threshold at 2012), and except the 2 billion people that struggle every day for basics like water and food, the most of the rest try to live the movie version of the American way of life. Not to mention that we need 2 more planets like Earth to feed our consumer needs (greed?). Every problem is an opportunity in disguise. This is a chance for us, not just for solving the current triple E3 (Environment-Energy-Economy) crisis, but to put international relations / co-operation into a new level. I hope that this might be interesting to Copenhagen delegates, and that the proposed measures could initiate a serious discussion. P.S. Latest (seemingly unrelated) news about the Wilkins ice shelf breaking off from the Antarctic Peninsula, the concentration of economic interests (military presence) around both polar areas, and the insecurity of Food/Energy/other resources' prices, reminds us that we are running out of time.
