Fact based arguments not misguided rhetoric and coercion are needed to sway economies dependent on fossil energy to sustain industrial growth. The 20-20-20 proposition requires countries to make very significant commitments that will cost workers and their families livelihoods. IPCC or other environmental advocates pushing mandates without ackowledging the real economic and personal cost is country productive, beyond dumb. This hurts "climate cause" and credibility.

Dear Friends of the Climate Ark Community,

The global, human-induced predicament visible in our time to the family of humanity makes one thing clear: people with eyes to see, ears to hear and no speech impediments have got to speak out loudly, clearly and often now. Silence, the greatest power the rich and powerful possess, cannot be allowed to prevail. The reckless way a few people with wealth and power maintain a "golden" silence, one that protects their greed, gluttony and hoarding, is dangerous and cannot longer be endured because a good enough future for our children and coming generations is being mortgaged and threatened by these leading elders in my not-so-great generation.

Regardless of whether or not other human beings choose to accept the "answers" to one question, I believe we must ask ourselves, "Can we teach one another to live within limits?"

It is necessary, I suppose, for human beings to recognize and affirm human limits

and Earth's limitations

To do otherwise and, by so doing, choose willfully and foolishly to ignore the practical requirements of biophysical reality runs the risk of putting life as we know it and our planetary home as a fit place for human habitation in peril, even in these early years of Century XXI.

20-20-20 by 2020 will be too little too late anyway. We must act now.

Indeed, totally agree. Nonetheless, it is the most ambitious, viable proposal on the international radar screen. It is something that can be tightened once in place, as the implications of abrupt climate change continue to emerge.

Hi Glen,
Nicely said - fingers crossed your members sign this action - it is imperative that the likes of Poland and Italy do not scupper this agreement. We're surprised that Poland, who has only been in the EU a short time, can exert so much influence. To be honest, if they're not happy with the agreement, they should leave the EU - in fact, don't they get EU subsidies as well? Makes a mockery of the whole climate agenda.

Great work as always,

Regards,
Mark & Denise.

Hi

I did do it yesterday, after the climate march.
And I have forwarded it to about 8 friends, who might get up off their bottoms to do it.
Sorry it has not been well taken up.

Let's hope it gets a better level of activity now.
And thank you very much for circulating, and arranging these protests for those of us too thick, too ignorant or too busy to keep abreast of these issues ourselves. Your work is much appreciated.

Best wishes

Sarah Clayton

Received response from Italy. None from Poland yet.

Please stop Italy and Poland from trying to stop what they are trying to do about Global Warming. It will put our Earth and its people in jeopardy.

On climate change obstructionism at Poznan.......

This response is so predictable, so duplicitous, so pathetic, so immoral, so dunderheaded.

Too many current leaders appear to be saying that the environmental 'strategy' of delay and denial is as necessary and justifiable today as invading Iraq was in 2003.

Only a tale told by an idiot could match the one we are seeing played out on the world's stage in this first decade of Century XXI.

It has always been a pleasure to learn and comment on “Global Warming” “Green” “CSR” and “Green Jobs”. I personally believe that “Nature is Health”, if we contribute towards nature then it indirectly helps us. I would like people to get more aware of these terms and how it helps everyone. After researching a lot on various sites and blogs, I have found one such site named as “JustMeans” where any individual and company can debate and share their thoughts and idea towards “Green” and “CSR”. JustMeans is very well designed, informative, refreshing and the most important easy to use, the best usability. You will find many blogs, reports, companies, news, green jobs etc only on Justmeans, I personally prefer JustMeans site because of the easy usability and most important many experts from energy, environmental and social industries and individuals in these sectors share this site to express their thoughts and debate on the same; they are using this site at large. If you would like to discuss and learn more on the topics of Green Jobs, Corporate Social Responsibility, Development, Energy and the Environment, Ethical Consumption, Politics and Governance, Social Investment, Social Media and Sustainable Business, then please do visit JustMeans site. I thank you for highlighting this issue on your blog.
