Seven Years Left to Reverse the CO2 Emissions Curve

"We Have Seven Years Left to Reverse the CO2 Emissions Curve"

Rajendra Pachauri, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change president and Nobel Laureate, says in an interview with Le Monde's Laurence Caramel and Stephane Foucart that humanity has only seven years to reverse the present greenhouse gas emissions trend before we cross a threshold of "serious danger."

The New Geography of Trade: North America Doesn't Exist

By Laura Carlsen

Fourteen years after implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, a majority of the population in all three countries believes the agreement has had a net negative effect on their nation and it turns out that the North American Free Trade Agreement is a misnomer in every one of its terms-it wasn't an agreement, it isn't free trade, and North America doesn't exist. So now what?

A Summit That's Hard to Swallow

James Chapman, of The Daily Mail: "Just two days ago, Gordon Brown was urging us all to stop wasting food and combat rising prices and a global shortage of provisions. But yesterday the Prime Minister and other world leaders sat down to an 18-course gastronomic extravaganza at a G8 summit in Japan, which is focusing on the food crisis. The dinner, and a six-course lunch, at the summit of leading industrialised nations on the island of Hokkaido, included delicacies such as caviar, milkfed lamb, sea urchin and tuna, with champagne and wines flown in from Europe and the US."

https://www.truthout.org/article/a-summit-thats-hard-swallow



A Worthless Gust of Hot Air

The Independent UK: "The leaders of the world's eight largest economies committed themselves to 'avoiding the most serious consequences of climate change'. They also set themselves a goal of halving global emissions by the middle of the century. It is hard to fault the target. But how is it going to be achieved? There is no detail in the communique; no medium-term targets; no commitment to agreeing a legally binding successor to the Kyoto protocol at Copenhagen next year. There is not even agreement on the date from which CO2 cuts will be measured. By far the biggest problem, though, is the lack of detail on the method. These leaders can set all the long-term goals they like, but without realistic means of achieving them, any document they produce will simply be a gust of hot air."

The Anti-Climate Summit

Foreign Policy in Focus columnist Walden Bello writes: "The G8 position is a giant step backward. It may have effectively undermined the prospects for an effective global climate strategy for the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol that is expected to be finalized at the crucial UN meeting in Copenhagen in December 2009."

Längere Laufzeiten bringen Extraprofit

8. Juli 2008

Zur anhaltenden Debatte um längere Laufzeiten für Atomkraftwerke erklärt der Bundesgeschäftsführer Dietmar Bartsch:

Längere Laufzeiten für Atomkraftwerke bringen weder Sicherheit in der Energieversorgung noch günstigere Preise für die Verbraucher. Längere Laufzeiten bedeuten Extraprofite für die Energiekonzerne und eine weitere Belastung der künftigen Generation mit radioaktiven Abfällen. Die Endlagerung ist nicht geklärt, weder in Gorleben noch anderswo. Darüber hinaus tragen sie nicht relevant zur notwendigen Verringerung des Kohlendioxid-Ausstoßes bei. Die Brennelemente durchlaufen unzählige Produktionsschritte, bei denen erhebliche Mengen an Klimagasen anfallen. Bei der Forderung um längere Laufzeiten oder gar den Bau neuer Atomkraftwerke handelt es sich um den durchsichtigen Versuch, die aktuelle Preisdebatte für eine langfristige Verankerung des Irrweges immer neuer fossiler Großkraftwerke zu nutzen. Von Uranimporten ist Deutschland ebenso abhängig wie von Öl- und Gasimporten. Im Überfluss sind die Uranvorkommen auch nicht vorhanden. Nach dem "Ölschock" könnte der "Uranschock" kommen, vor allem aber bergen AKWs ein tausendfach größeres Gefahrenpotential. DIE LINKE lehnt die permanent von Unionspolitikern geforderte Verlängerung der Laufzeiten von Atomkraftwerken ab. Nach dem vereinbarten Atomkonsens wird das letzte deutsche Atomkraftwerk erst 2021 abgeschaltet. Eine Verlängerung der Laufzeiten wäre ein Weg zurück in die Vergangenheit. Bleibt abzuwarten, ob die SPD dem Druck des Koalitionspartners stand hält oder wie gewöhnlich einknickt. DIE LINKE will neben der gebotenen Verbrauchsreduzierung an dem Erfolg versprechenden Kurswechsel hin zu erneuerbaren Energien festhalten. Werden diese genauso gefördert wie über 40 Jahre lang die AKWs, besteht für die Energieversorgung kaum Gefahr. Schon heute zeigt sich, dass "Ökostrom" mit dem zunehmenden Ausbau billiger wird. Dieser Prozess wird sich mit dem weiteren Ausbau und der Effizienzsteigerung fortsetzen. Darüber hinaus handelt es sich bei erneuerbaren Energien um eine dezentrale Technologie, die in jeder Kommune in Eigenverantwortung genutzt werden kann - ein Dorn im Auge der Macht der großen Energiekonzerne. Niedrigere Energiepreise sind durch längere Laufzeiten der Atomkraftwerke nicht zu erwarten, weil sich der Strompreis an der Leipziger Börse am Preis der teuersten Stromproduktion orientiert. Die Großkonzernen haben bislang nichts von ihren Extragewinnen aus den längst abgeschriebenen Kernkraftwerken an die Verbraucher weitergeben, warum sollten sie das künftig tun?

We do not have the right to rob our neighbors to make up for our mistakes, neither does our neighbor have any right to tell us how to live, so long as we aren’t infringing on their rights. Freedom to make bad decisions is inherent in the freedom to make good ones. If we are only free to make good decisions, we are not really free...

Congress Studies How People Track Your Online Use

Joelle Tessler, of The Associated Press: "Executives from major Internet players - Microsoft Corp., Google Inc. and Facebook Inc. - are due for a grilling about online privacy in a Senate committee Wednesday, but the company likely to get the most scrutiny is a small Silicon Valley startup called NebuAd Inc. NebuAd has drawn fierce criticism from privacy advocates in recent weeks for working with Internet service providers to track the online behavior of their customers and then serve up targeted banner ads based on that behavior. According to Ari Schwartz, vice president of the Center for Democracy & Technology, a civil liberties group, NebuAd's business model raises many of the same concerns as an earlier generation of 'adware' companies."

The Iraqi Oil Ministry's New Fave Five

Nick Turse, TomDispatch.com, writes: "According to recent reports, the proposed Iraqi service contracts, which may be paid off in cash or crude oil, will be worth $500 million each. That is roughly what the Pentagon paid out on June 18 alone - the day before the Times broke its story about Big Oil's return to Iraq - for natural gas and aviation fuel. Over half the total amount, in excess of $268 million, was handed over to one of the oil giants set to benefit from the Iraq deal: BP (formerly British Petroleum). Only days earlier, two of the other majors from the coterie of potential no-bid contractors, ExxonMobil and Chevron, nabbed contracts from the DoD - in ExxonMobil's...

Iraq's Complicated Oil Fields

Spencer Ackerman, of The Washington Independent: "In mid-June, Iraq's oil minister, Husain Shahristani, announced that he would grant no-bid development contracts for Iraq's oil fields to Western oil giants. Exxon, Shell, BP and Total stood to earn billions off the deals, since Iraq possesses nearly as much potential oil reserve -- and perhaps even more -- as Saudi Arabia, the nation with the world's most oil. Within days, The New York Times reported that a team of US State Department advisers urged Shahristani and other ministry officials to grant the contracts to the oil barons."

All the evidence suggests that an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear sites would be a disaster for the greater Middle East, for the world economy and for western security. It would not even benefit Israel, which is adequately protected by its own nuclear deterrent.

Living forever by bombardment

Every time some Middle Eastern country tries to obtain nuclear weapons, Israel will bomb it. Bomb - and bombard. Beyond the problematic assumption that we are allowed to do what others are not allowed, and what is secure in our hands is dangerous in the hands of others, this kind of conduct will lead to disaster.

No doubt, the U.S. navy will be hard at work provoking Iran and the tension caused will enable the U.S. to demand more 'protection money' from the Arab states.
