Copenhagen Climate Summit Heat: from business to condoms.
2009-09-21 12:50:00 The more the December Copenhagen Climate Change Summit comes closer, it is interesting just watching the headlines flashing by. It seems everyone and his dog is starting to claim their stake, and to put their own spin onto climate change trying to ensure they "profit" from whatever comes out. Financially, politically or visibility wise.If you do "Copenhagen summit, climate change", "business, climate change" or "climate engineering" searches on Humanitarian News, you will see the blogosphere and news heating up:Politics were first:US and Europe clash over Copenhagen dealIndia will be key player at Copenhagen conferenceMaldives too broke to attend climate summitChinese adviser: 2C target unrealisticUS climate change bill faces fresh delaysIf Obama Can't Defeat the Republican Headbangers, Our Planet is DoomedE.U. calls on U.S. to do more to tackle climate changeEmissions per person in parts of China above rich nationsMerkel and Sarkozy want carbon tax on importsThe business hook:Clim...
Climate change: 20% of China is now desert.
2009-09-19 10:54:00 Sean Gallagher is a photojournalist living in China. With the support of Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting to highlight the impact of desertification in China.Almost 20% of China's land is now desert, affecting 400 million people. In Western China over one million acres of fertile land turn into desert. Per year. Last year they suffered a peak drought.Climate change, wind and water erosion, industrialization, agriculture, untimely policy changes, you name it.China's desertification is not only a problem for the Chinese. It impacts the world as a whole. I am not talking about what 1,000,000 acres of desert mean to the world's climate, alone: the more fertile land turns into sand, the more China is looking for agriculture land abroad, competing with European biofuel companies and Arab countries trying to secure their food production too. And money buys land in Africa. Easily. Even if this means they need to reduce their own food production.Video courtesy Sean Gallagher. Discover...
Climate change: The girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes
2009-09-16 18:59:00 With the media heating up for the December Climate Change Summit in Denmark, it is time to for some reflection.Does the name "Severn Cullis-Suzuki" mean anything to you? Severn was 12 when in 1992, she raised money to attend the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. She spoke to the summit members in a speech which became famous. A speech which -sadly enough- could have been given today. It makes one wonder what progress really happened in the past 17 year.Do we actually make progress on protecting our planet for the sake of our children, and their children? In an age where Green Goes Commercial, where corrupt companies like Monsanto and Cargill start dominating our food chain, and chase the food prices up so the poor no longer have access to food. A world where Western companies buy up fertile land in Africa to grow biofuel crops so less land becomes available for food agriculture?Did we make progress, or are we still sliding downhill?Check out the most recent news and blogposts about th...

Anthromorphic Climate Change & Creationism?
2009-09-15 06:59:00 I've noticed there are "climate skeptics" among the CR4 readers. That is they deny there is any demonstrated link between human activity and increasing temperatures.

Condoms cheapest way to fight climate change
2009-09-12 12:27:00 Condoms :cheapest way to fight climate changeCondoms are the cheapest way to reduce carbon emissions, claims a controversial new report.According to the report for the UK's Optimum Population Trust, putting the brake on global population growth would be five times cheaper than any other method of tackling the world's greenhouse gases.The study, which was compiled by the London School of Economics, found every 4-pound extra spent on family planning for the next 40 years would reduce global CO2 emissions by a tonne. It would cost 19 pounds to achieve the same result with low-carbon technologies, reports The Sun.OPT chairman Roger Martin said: "It's always been obvious that total emissions depend on the number of emitters - as well as their individual emissions."The taboo on mentioning this has made the whole climate change debate so far somewhat unreal."United Nations data indicates that family planning could reduce unintended births by 72 percent, trimming the world''s populatio...

Did you feel how hot it was at Lolla last Sunday? The worst thing that happened was I took a nap through Lou Reed." Sorry to say, judging from the last post I tossed off about how we should stop being friends with people who don't believe in climate change, this is essentially the attitude of many of you out there. But look, now you don't have to just whine on my comment section! Go bitch at the Pentagon and the entire U.S. Military too. For really the first time, experts and analysts from...
