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.
