Paris Climate Talks

Paris summary from the Guardian

The final sentence of the article is very revealing:   
The proof of the pudding will be in the eating.

The Guardian, Keep it in the Ground, an appeal to Bill Gates

On this LINK, you will find a wonderful video from the people of the World, seeking help with minimizing the threats of climate change. The video speaks directly to Bill Gates, a person who has huge resources and a good heart, so hopefully he will respond by helping keep carbon fuels in the ground..... at least via one route of divesting investments in fossil fuel companies.

Keep It in the Ground - Fossil Fuels that is

This is a new campaign spearheaded by Alan Rusbridger, Editor in chief of the Guardian, and Bill McKibben, co-founder of 350.org

It really makes sense...if we leave fossil fuels in the ground, we can't burn them. If we extract them from the ground, THEY WILL GET BURNED.

For the letter they sent me click HERE.

For the petition that already has 84,000 signatures (and I am one of those), click HERE.

I hope you too will join in.

For as Secretary Kerry has said recently, "There is no Planet B".

The Guardian Puts Climate Change "Front and Center"

Why? is explained HERE.

Followed by an excellent article extracted from Naomi Klein's new book, This Changes Everything.

To me the main issue is not: Are we facing a crisis? The main issue is how to deal with the greed and self interests that keep the fossil fuel industry continuing to extract and sell fossil fuels. Add to that  the fossil fuel market created by developing nations trying to grow their economies and standard of living into ones comparable to developed nations.......  and the Earth has a HUGE problem.
