Sea Change

Posted by on Nov 29, 2011 in Blog | 0 comments

If you know anyone
who doesn’t believe we have a problem with climate change
- be kind
take them to the Optician
find an evening class in reading for adults.

for its all now been proven - Conclusively

Many of the world’s largest deltas such as the Nile etc,
are densely populated.

In the last decade, 85% have experienced severe flooding
and the sinking of an area over 500 km square

this is expected to rise by 50%
with the effect of sea level rise this century.
unchecked carbon emissions
are going to lead to 125 million refugees
in south Asia this century

Over 40 million people have had to move inland
In Bangladesh – because of rising sea level
forewarned by the trees dying 100x inland
from the salt incursion under ground
twice the population of Australia
- directly because of the burbling tailpipe
of your mates Commodore

The Titanic hit her iceberg
not because they didn’t see it
but because she had no brakes
was going flat out to beak the record
and her rudder was too small
to miss it even by six feet.

Obama & Gillard are in the same position
as that Captain on the Titanic.
Julia has a majority of two
and she is skippering a ship
heading straight towards a carbon iceberg
with a population who emit
the greatest carbon per capita on Earth!

The extreme weather events we are witnessing today
were caused by CO2 emitted in 1976
when the CO2 density was 330 ppm
- there is a 35 year delay
its now 390 and rising
despite the financial crisis
so expect more

Capitalism has failed us
Its up to China
- Communist & led by Scientists & Engineers
& you & me if we are to ever SEE change!
We need our Governments act
to make changes possible

Margaret mead said: ” Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful
committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing
that ever has.”

And Churchill said “Its no use saying ‘We are doing our best’ You
have to succeed in doing what is necessary’

And we are clearly not!

Have you noticed how large cars have become?
any years ago
I was best man at a friends wedding
- at the end
he and his blushing bride got into his shiny mini
- and was revving his engine to clear a path through he crowd
- to go and get on with things young marrieds do!
when a prearranged wink went around the men
- & we gathered round & picked them up!

wouldn’t like to do that to todays cars…
- well that weight all goes straight back to that CO2
& making that family
move in-land in the Nile delta.

We need to seek out excesses
do we need an army when we are not at war?
80% of the cost of the army in the US is fuel
- lets send them all home on full pay
to grow their own veg.
they’ll be happy enough!
If we need army – it is only an email away.

The C change we need
the carbon change
is massive
& must include
substantial changes in direction

And needs to build very quickly
by our actions – using social media
like the Arab dawn
from the ground up
if we are to keep our planet
as she is.
and not become another Titanic
