Accountability, Badge & Credo (ABC) strategy to save the Planet from Climate Genocide & Climate Doom

Environment

A 3-fold Accountability, Badge and Credo (ABC) strategy may be the last chance for Humanity to circumvent Mainstream media and Establishment lying, obfuscation and inaction in relation to the worsening Climate Emergency that threatens Climate Catastrophe this century and a Climate Holocaust and Climate Genocide involving the deaths of 10 billion non-Europeans..

Informed humanitarians are well aware of the appalling gap between public perception (informed by the lying, holocaust-denying Mainstream media and Establishments of the Western Murdochracies) and the horrendous and un-reported realities of the ongoing Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Genocides (post-invasion excess deaths 0.3 million, 2.3 million and 3-7 million, respectively; refugees totalling 7 million, 6 million and 4 million, respectively – Genocides as defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention (see “Pro-Zionist Western genocide denial “: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/298... ).

Unfortunately the same kind of Mainstream and Establishment lying, holocaust-ignoring and obfuscation means that the First World is also ignoring the consequences of its greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution profligacy. There is a dreadful fear - especially among scientists - that the politicians at the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference later this year will not meet the challenge to halt and reverse man-made global warming.

The World is experiencing the beginnings of a 21st century Climate Holocaust and Climate Genocide that will very likely see the deaths of 10 billion people (nearly all non-Europeans, and including 2 billion Indians and a a Muslim Holocaust of 3 billion Muslims) due to First World greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution and unaddressed man-made global warming (see “Climate Disruption, Climate Emergency, Climate Genocide & Penultimate Bengali Holocaust through Sea Level Rise “: http://sites.google.com/site/yarrav... ) .

Already 16 million people die avoidably each year from deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease (9.5 million being under-5 year old infants) – and this carnage is being increasingly impacted by man-made climate change. There are already about a million essentially Climate Refugees in Darfur (Sudan), Bangladesh, India and Myanmar. The annual avoidable death toll is expected to average 100 million per year if Dr James Lovelock’s dire predictions come true of fewer than 1 billion people surviving this century (see Gaia Vince (2009), “One last chance to save mankind“, New Scientist, 23 January 2009: http://www.newscientist.com/article... ).

Massive climatic disruption has already occurred involving Arctic and Antarctic sea ice melting, glacier melting, increased temperatures, increased forest fire intensity and extent, increased hurricane intensity, mass species extinctions, worsening droughts and floods, increased sea level and increasing Climate Refugee populations (for details see John Holdren (2008), “The Science of Climatic Disruption” (power point lecture): http://www.usclimateaction.org/user... ; Gideon Polya (2009), “Global warming, climate emergency” U3A course notes: http://sites.google.com/site/yarrav... ; and “Climate criminal Australia threatens planet. Australia’s pro-coal Emissions Trading Scheme”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/303... ).

Yet Governments (especially of major polluter countries such as Australia) are resolutely and irresponsibly ignoring the science in favour of pro-fossil fuel lobbyists.

The following Letter is being variously sent around the world to environmentalists, media and governments outlining how a 3-fold Accountability, Badge and Credo (ABC) strategy can save the Planet from a man-made global warming Climate Catastrophe.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Accountability, Badge and Credo (ABC) protocol & ICC prosecutions may yet save Bangladesh, Island States, Man and the Biosphere.

The World is acutely threatened by man-made global warming (e.g. Island States severely threatened by increasing sea levels and increased hurricane intensity; massive global climatic disruption has already occurred) and many scientists now doubt that we can avoid further damaging temperature increases to over 2C above that in 1900. According to top UK climate scientist Dr James Lovelock FRS fewer than 1 billion people (mostly European) will survive the century due to First World profligacy and unaddressed man-made climate change – this translating to 10 billion deaths (mostly of non-Europeans, 3 billion Muslims, 2 billion Indians) in an already-commenced Climate Holocaust and Climate Genocide.

However resolute global action via an Accountability, Badge and Credo (ABC) protocol may yet save Man and the Biosphere (see “How to Save the Planet. Accountability, Badge & Credo (ABC) Protocol” published in the ethical, pro-Humanity, pro-Planet, Vancouver-based Media With Conscience News (MWC News): http://mwcnews.net/content/view/305... .

In short, the Accountability, Badge and Credo (ABC) protocol involves (A) Accountability of greenhouse gas (GHG)-polluting climate criminals imposing GHG pollution on all peoples and species (e.g. by naming via an electronic Climate Doomsday Book or virtual Climate Doomsday Monument of bad and good guys; by using a Green Credentialling or Green Certification system to identify products, people, companies and countries we can support and those we must boycott; and by international and intra-national sanctions, boycotts, green tariffs, reparations demands, civil actions and criminal prosecutions); (B) a Badge that activists can wear with a simple core pictorial or word message (e.g. “Climate Emergency” or “Climate Emergency Network”) or a core numerical message (e.g. “300” or “350” to indicate the urgent need to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentration to about 300 parts per million (ppm) or to less than 350 ppm, respectively); and (C) a Credo or core statement of beliefs e.g. “We believe in a safe and sustainable existence for all peoples and all species on our warming-threatened Planet and that this requires a rapid reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration to about 300 parts per million”.

What we urgently need to do globally is (1) Change of societal philosophy to one of scientific risk management and biological sustainability with complete cessation of species extinctions and zero tolerance for lying; (2) Urgent reduction of atmospheric CO2 to a safe level of about 300 ppm as recommended by leading climate and biological scientists; and (3) Rapid switch to the best non-carbon and renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal, wave, tide and hydro options that are currently roughly the same market price as coal burning-based power) and to energy efficiency, public transport, needs-based production, re-afforestation and return of carbon as biochar to soils coupled with correspondingly rapid cessation of fossil fuel burning, deforestation, methanogenic livestock production and population growth (see "Climate Emergency Facts and Required Actions" of Melbourne-based Yarra Valley Climate Action Group: http://sites.google.com/site/yarrav... ).

Please send this Accountability, Badge and Credo (ABC) protocol to everyone you can.

Nations at Risk from worsening Climatic Disruption – notably in Africa, the Americas and Asia (from drought, floods, mega-delta submergence and increased storm intensity) and Island States (from salinization, submergence and increased hurricane intensity) – should take action over worsening Climate Genocide through the International Criminal Court against greedy climate criminal nations such as Australia, which is a world-leading coal exporter and GHG polluter – thus “annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution” in units of “tonnes CO2-equivalent per person per year” (2005-2008 data) is 2.2 (India), 6.7 (the World), 11 (Europe), 27 (the US) and 30 (Australia; or 54 if Australia’s huge, world-leading Exported CO2 pollution is included). Former UK Chief Scientist Professor David King (Oxford University) urges a decrease of World annual per capita GHG pollution (6.7) to that of India (2.2) (see “Formal complaint to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court re Australian Government involvement in Aboriginal Genocide, Iraqi Genocide, Afghan Genocide and Climate Genocide”, 2008: http://climateemergency.blogspot.co... ).
Yours sincerely,
