No doubt, the demand for solutions...Dear Friends,<br /><br /><br />No doubt, the demand for solutions to climate change will engender some disastrous schemes such as the one below. I pass this on from Sascha Gabizon, executive director of Women International for a Common Future. <br /><br />We need to advocate for a plan, and not leave the solutions to the “experts” for just this reason. After reading the comments and link below, please read this excellent plan: http://web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/sad1109Jaco5p.indd.pdf<br />for 100% sustainable energy on a global scale by 2030.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Angela<br /><br /><br />Dear Women, colleagues,<br /> <br />We need our own call to Action to COUNTER the Letter by Jeffrey Sachs on his<br />proposed FALSE CLIMATE SOLUTIONS . His letter is being signed for the<br />Climate Summit on the 24th and which promotes carbon-capture/geo-engineering<br />and nuclear as solutions, which they are NOT.<br /> <br />The letter is prepared for Ban Ki Moon's Climate Summit, but it is<br />absolutely horrible to see that they call for: <br /> <br />" Large-scale deployment of (...), carbon-capture and sequestration, next-<br />generation nuclear power plants for those countries deploying nuclear power,<br />(....) They can be pushed to commercial readiness and large-scale deployment<br />through concerted public and private programs of research, development,<br />demonstration, and diffusion (RDD&D) on a global scale."<br /> <br /><br />http://unsdsn.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/A-Message-to-World-Leaders-on-C<br />limate-Change.pdf<br /> <br />This letter is circulating, and I am VERY sorry to see that IUCN, FAS,<br />MONARCH, SUNITA NAIREEN, Ted Turner a.o. have apparently already agreed to<br />sign it!!! They should try to get this sentence deleted from the letter!<br /> <br />Is anyone already organizing a counter-petition? <br /> <br />Jeffrey Sachs has submitted a report for the Climate Summit in which he<br />calls to increase Britain's nuclear power, and on which the letter is<br />apparently based<br /><br />http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jul/08/un-roadmap-climate-change<br /> <br />Those who want to work on this, please let me know.<br /> <br />For those who want to know more about the un-sustainability and false claims<br />of the nuclear industry, there is excellent work done by many organisations,<br />you can a.o. also check our WECF website<br /><br />http://www.wecf.eu/english/articles/2014/03/cswevent-nuclear.php <br /> <br />Sascha Gabizon I Executive Director WECF / WICF <br /> <br /> <br />sascha.gabizon@wecf.org<br /> <br />Office NL: +31 (30) 23 10 30 00<br />Office DE: +49 (89) 23 23 93 80<br />Tel Mobile: +49 (0172) 86 37 586<br /> <br />New address: Korte Elisabethstraat 6, 3511 JG, Utrecht, Netherlands<br /> <br />Twitter: @WECF_INT ,<br /> @WECF_NL ,<br /> @SaschaGabizon<br /> <br />Skype: saschagabizon<br /> <br /> www.wecf.org<br /> www.projectnesting.org<br /> <br />WICF/WECF co-facilitates the Women's Major Group for the United Nations<br /> <br />UN Sustainable Development and Environment processes<br /> www.womenmajorgroup.org follow us<br />@Women_Rio20<br /> <br />Looking forward to hearing from you,<br /> <br />Sascha <br />Sascha Gabizon I Executive Director WECF / WICF <br />Angela Mannohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14656720600632457568noreply@blogger.com
