Capitalism vs. the Climate., NEXT COP-OUT CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE IN EGYPT, OPEN LETTER, The Future of Mankind

Dear Delegate,

When it comes to climate change the verbal diarrhoea,    must be stopped. Picture of the Earth

Is is no longer up to scientists to bear the mental burden on the climate?

No, it’s up to the decision-makers, and the more action levers we have, the stronger this charge must be.

It’s now a race against time and it is critical that business leaders and states embrace it.

“States are in the process of bending the emissions curve downwards.” but their reduction must be much (much) more radical.

Nearly half of humanity is living in the danger zone – now.

Many ecosystems are at the point of no return – now.

Unchecked carbon pollution is forcing the world’s most vulnerable on a frog march to destruction – now.”

Half measures are no longer an option.

Secretary General António Guterres

“This is the defining issue of our time, nobody has the right to sacrifice international action on climate change for any reason,”

Its just over 100 days since the UN climate action summit in Glasgow, COP26, and no doubt you have seen the second in a series of three reports from the the UN’s top climate scientists, a damning indictment of failed global leadership on climate.

Prioritise climate or face catastrophe.

The world is now about 1.2C warmer than it was in the 19th Century – and the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen by 50%.

Scientists believe at least 550 species could be lost this century if action is not taken.

Current global problems such as inflation, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the high prices of energy and food are distracting governments, but the core problem remains the same no one wants to pay.

This is the main problem no one wants to pay.

Climate finance is critical to addressing climate change because large-scale investments are required to significantly reduce emissions, notably in sectors that emit large quantities of greenhouse gases. Climate finance is equally important for adaptation, for which significant financial resources will be similarly required to allow societies and economies to adapt to the adverse effects and reduce the impacts of climate change.

Developing nations are calling for payments for “loss and damage” – the impacts faced now.

An option for making payments was excluded from the Bonn climate talks, after pushback from wealthier nations who feared they would be forced to pay compensation for decades.

Financial institutions might be  taking an increasing number of mitigation actions to prepare for a low-carbon future, the biggest investment opportunity of this generation but financial system governance bodies need to incentivize opportunities to invest in adaptation and resilience.

There are many papers of reference on this subject, most are so complicated that one would need a life time to read them.

Mobilizing all sources of finance toward adaptation and resilience requires all of us to have the opportunity to invest, because  there are limitations on public balance sheets to finance the level of investment needed to meet adaptation and resilience needs.

Integrating climate considerations—both risks and opportunities—will be fundamentally important for aligning the financial system toward low-carbon, climate-resilient investments, and ensuring there is at least as much attention given to investment in adaptation and resilience as to mitigation.

Promoting greater use of blended finance approaches will drive  Finance Today for the Climate Resilient Society of Tomorrow.

So here again are a few suggestion to spread the cost, to create a preputial fund to tackle the problem in both fair and transparent way.

APPLY A 0.05%  WORLD AID COMMISSION ON ALL TRANSACTIONS THAT ARE FOR PROFIT FOR PROFIT SAKE.

IE.  ALL FOREGINE EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS OVER 50,000$, ON ALL SOVEREIGHTY WEALTH FUNDS ACQUISITIONS ,  ALL GAMBLING WINS OVER 500$.

THE UNITED NATIONS TO ISSUE GREEN BOND ON THE STOCK MARKET WITH GUARANTEED RETURNS BACK BY THE CENTRAL BANKS OF THE WORLD . THESE BONDS ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR  ENTER TO A LOTTO TYPE WEEKLY  DRAW.

Currently, 17 million people are estimated to be facing food insecurity in east Africa because of drought.

Some scientists believe world leaders have left it too late and no matter what is agreed at COP27, 1.5C will not be achieved.

Instead of slowing down the decarbonization of the global economy, now is the time to accelerate the energy transition to a renewable energy future, declaring fossil fuels a “dead end for our planet, for humanity, and yes, for economies,” and calling for developed countries, multilateral Development Banks, private financiers, and others to form coalitions to help major emerging economies end the use of  verbal green.

We need to tackle the issue in a less confrontational way. Either everybody wins, or everybody losses.

It’s not so much that climate will end the human race or life on earth as we know it.

The result will be mass migration, wars, and barbarism.

All human support appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.

THE BEADY EYE’S OPEN LETTER : TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND: I can’t see a rationale of not staying in the EU beyond furthering the rich while making the lives of the poor more miserable.

Brexit v EU - Negotiations., Brexit.

Dear English friends.

Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of english people"

Don’t read this if you’re easily offended. It’s about Brexit the UK but I’m not

even sure what that means any more.

On 23rd June 2016, you were asked a ludicrously banal binary question.

To leave the EU or stay in it? Two boxes, one tick. There was no manifesto. The two scenarios were not fully explained.

You were told nothing about what would happen if you opted to leave. If you were told, I don’t believe people would have voted for it because without EU money huge parts of Britain are unsustainable sovereign or not.

Even with a majority vote on an advisory referendum peddled on lies, this does not represent democracy where 16 – 18-year-olds weren’t allowed to vote on the single biggest issue to affect their future.

And you tell me this was a democratic vote?

But people bought it. Because clowns were saying – like Trump – what people *really* wanted to say but were too bound up by social mores to do so.

As far as I can see Brexit has made it ok to be racist, xenophobic, misogynistic and has given many millions license to say appalling things to complete strangers on Twitter.

But this is making Britain Great Again, isn’t it??

Of course, not all people who voted to Leave are racist. That’s like saying everybody who voted to Remain is passionate, whole-heartedly in favour of every single thing the EU does. Brexit has given racists license to spread their hate.

After two years of table banging about Project Fear and how facts explaining the dire economic, social and legal consequences of leaving the EU were all a hoax, no one in the fifth-wealthiest country in the whole world of sane mind should be compleating that an act of colossal self-harm really is an appropriate reaction.

Why?

Because now if you plough on with Article 50 to its terrible, dystopian conclusion, you won’t be able to live, work, love or study in Europe in quite the same way ever again.

The referendum was won not by UKIP but by populist papers appealing to prejudices and rage. They exploited people living in communities who were suffering under Osborne’s austerity.

And now you are being told BY EXPERTS that these communities – the communities who voted most strongly to leave – will suffer the most after Brexit.

Cop on.

I believe that instead of leaving, you need to negotiate a new Treaty with the EU.

You don’t need a divorce from the EU. You need medication and a helluva lot of counselling. But leaving – like this – because of such lies, with no plan, not enough civil servants to cope with the workload and a dire lack of trained negotiators, will mean you are likely to be fucked for lack of a better word.

Today there is a monumental effort on the part of the press to convince people that triggering Article 50 is the point of no return. It isn’t. And here’s why.

There is a European election in May next year and both France and Germany are running scared of the far right not to mention member state both would benefit greatly as has been offered to withdraw and stay in and fight your quarter for reforms.

Thanks to the Good Law Project, there is a chance that a truly democratic vote *could* succeed. If you really care about democracy and everything that brings, now’s your chance to prove it.

Demand a peoples vote.

Up to now the political architecture of Britain insulates those imposing austerity from the wrath of those on the receiving end. A refashioned British society, making it less like the rest of Western Europe, is akin to setting your house on fire and then revelling in the community spirit as neighbours come running to help extinguish the blaze.

A perverse sense of community.

16 million British voters are being fucked over. Their views – in this amazingly democratic referendum – don’t matter. The views of the 48% have been fucked right off.

This will only be a “done deal” if people don’t put up a fight for something better.

It’s about politics abandoning vulnerable people.”

You want something more than just economics.

I only hope that, as Brexit goes tits up and when the current generation dies out, the young have a chance of salvaging a decent life from this appalling mess your political leaders are creating – a slow bleed, broken monument to another age.

Setting aside the lowlights of English history  — the slave trade, colonial barbarity the global economy is now in the throes of negotiating a wrenching transition to technological economies  — with no hours contracts jobs replacing full-time positions and robots substituting for human labour this is no time to be hight and mighty.

With virtually every public agency struggling to do more with less while attending to additional problems wealthy Britons remain among the world’s most comfortable people, enjoying lavish homes, private medical care, top-notch schools and restaurants run by chefs from Paris and Tokyo.

When one looks from the outside in here is a country with a vast deficit problem, with its debt growing, spending billions on worthless Aircraft Carriers, Trident missiles while many measures of social well-being — are being ignored

The poor, the elderly, the disabled and the jobless are increasingly prone to Kafka-esque tangles with the bureaucracy to keep public support.

It not just that your democracy will be bankrupted, you will see the rats of profit abandoning the sinking ship depressing growth for years to come.

Remember that London bankers concocted a financial crisis, multiplying their wealth through reckless gambling; then London politicians used budget deficits as an excuse to cut spending on the poor while handing tax cuts to corporations.

Perhaps this is the real reason you are now looking down the barrel of a social crisis called Brexit.

Finally:

Will a peoples vote solve the impasse?

Only if the question to decide is set by a Citizens assemble and not by any political party.

THE BEADY EYE OPEN LETTER TO THE ENGLISH RFU.

18 Sunday Nov 2018

Posted by bobdillon33@gmail.com in Beady Eyes: Open Letters.

Rugby., Sportsmanship.

 

(Two-minute read)

I know that there are more important things happening in the UK at the moment.

However recently at Twickenham, both the English and New Zeland teams along with thousands of spectators stood in silence for a minute in honour of the 100-anniversary commemorations of the end of world war one.

At the end of the minute while NewZealand the visiting team prepared to perform their haka the BBC TELEVISION MATCH COMMENTATOR alluded to how the English supporters would react to the traditional Haka.

(The haka is a type of ancient Māori war dance traditionally used on the battlefield, as well as when groups came together in peace.)Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of the haka"

What took place was what can only be described as a display of ignorance to behold.

Some of us remember when there was some respect shown for a penalty attempt but to chant down a cultural tradition with a slave song ” Sweet Chariots” (even if described by the commentator as a spiritual song) is the high of bad manner.

Believe it or not, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot doesn’t have its origins in a pitcher of beer and a soiled rugby jersey.

Its beginnings were as a hymn written and sung by American slaves,

It’s difficult not to ask just how the familiar refrain ended up as one of the most recognisable anthems traditionally sung at ENGLISH INTERNATIONALS rugby matches.

Originally composed, it is believed, by a slave named Wallace Wallis in the 19th century, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot is regarded as a “negro spiritual”, a Christian hymn that combined spiritual belief with the hardships of daily life as a slave in the United States. As a result, the lyrics “Sweet chariot/Coming for to carry me home,” symbolise less victory over an opponent, and more the sweet release of death.

The differences between an early 20th-century recording of the song and a typical rugby match version are stark.

One is pleading and spiritual, something that wouldn’t feel out of place in a Coen Brothers film, while the other is noticeably more celebratory.

The British appropriating of the song for rugby matches appears to stem from a 1988 game between Twickenham and Ireland when a group of schoolboys from the private Douai School in Berkshire began singing the song to the black player Chris Oti after he scored a hat-trick. It is unknown whether there was any racial intent to the choice of song, but the anthem was quickly picked up by other members in the crowd.

Then there is another rumour that the song has its rugby-related origins in the Sixties, where rugby fans began to chant the song accompanied by rude hand gestures.
Neither theory has been explicitly confirmed. 
The modern British interpretation of this tune, as sung at Twickenham, has “home” as a metaphor for victory not as a metaphor of disrespect.
They say that Rugby Union, unlike Rugby League, is the game of gentlemen with Rugby League the game of the working classes who by the way in there recent accounter with NewZeland paid the rendering of the Haka the cultural respect it deserved. 
IF THE ENGLISH RFU HAVE ANY DUTY TO THE GAME IT SHOULD IF NOT ABLE TO BAD THE SINGING OF WHAT IS A “RACIST” SONG TO AT LEAST REQUEST THE PUBLIC ATTENDING AN INTERNATIONAL MATCH AS A MARK OF RESPECT TO THE VISITING TEAM TO REFRAME CHANTING IT AS A WEAPON OF SUPPRESSION.    
I feel kind of sad to see a Nation that once promoted good manners be encouraged by its national broadcasting station to display such uncouth tribal ignorance.    
I feel like the story of American chattel slavery and this incredible cultural tradition, built up within a community of people who were victims and often seen as incapable of standing up for themselves, is such a powerful story that I want the whole world to know about it.
But apparently, not everyone does.”Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of the swing low swing chariot"

THE BEADY EYE’S: OPEN LETTER TO WORLD LEADERS.

20 Monday Mar 2017

Posted by bobdillon33@gmail.com in Beady Eyes: Open Letters., World Leaders

Artificial Intelligence., Big Data, Capitalism and Greed, Inequility, New World Organisation to vet Technology, Visions of the future.

Seeing green such a cool idea for a painting :):

20/March/2017.

Dear Sirs and Madams.

I am soon to be seventy, so I thought, looking at the state of the world I would write you all a short note.

I fully appreciate that like your predecessors you are all very busy with False News, Conflicts, Famines, Economics and the like, so I will try to keep this short and to the point, as it is gloomy reading.

If like me you look honestly at ourselves (no matter what colour, religion, G8, United Nations resolution, or cultural heritage) the world is going wrong.

In the meantime:

Technology to wipe out civilization is getting cheaper by the day, while we turn back the evolution clock by pumping 8 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year wiping out 50,000 species each year in collective denial.

Looking back from the moon human activities on earth do not show up.

By 2030 there will be 50% more of us – 6 million a month.

One- fifth of the present day population live in the ” rich world” consuming 86% of the world’s goods while over half the people on earth are trying to live on 2-5$ a day.

This is not going to change.

The last decade has led us down the path of disillusionment, with democracy been eroded by Artificial intelligence which is on the threshold of destroy the livelihoods of thousands.

Capitalism continued unabated to privatize the planet, with Corporate globalization Algorithms, Sovereign Wealth Funds, Data Farming, Machine learning,without any regulation.

September 11 has now been turned into a convenient excuse for any anti-people legislation denying civil liberties worldwide. The Arab Spring is a quad mire > The Palestine Question a dark cul-de-sac > Nato a war machine> The United nations a begging gum shield between the west and the rest> Chine a supermarket> Climate Change a trading commodity> Football a religion> Austerity a goal> Economic growth an aspiration that no one know how to achieve.

Governments everywhere are betraying the mandates that brought them into power.

We left with what if anything can be done to stop the rot.

It’s easy to say, that humanity will have to set aside the deep divisions it has maintained for thousands of years and find a new spirit of co-operation. Stop spending billions on arms and start spending on removing Inequalities of opportunity.

You don’t have to look far to see why we have terrorism. Poverty and lack of education spawns it.

If you have got this far I fully understand that you are not in a position to change the world but with some vision you could support the establishment of a New World Organisation to vet all technology to ensure that it comply to human core values.

This Organisation has to be totally independent of all Political pressure, Capitalist greed, and be self financing by charging a vetting fee.

Without such an Organisation we are looking at a greater disaster than Climate Change, Current conflicts, Brexit, or Donald Trump.

A digital divide world whether it is run by Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Amazon, will result in unattainable aspirations, fueled by social media.

There will be no self correct.

As smart-phones proliferate and more people have access to the internet it will be impossible to ignore the world voters wishes.

I thank you in anticipation of your support. Please feel free to forward this letter.

Robert de Mayo Dillon.
