My theory is that the hot air from this blog is what’s causing the earth to heat up.

The measures and methods to reduce the impacts should not just focus on splashing money, but to really come with measures which are practical and have high potential to be implemented.

Climate Change is a phenomenon which has started many many years ago, so in essence, we owe to ourselves to ensure that our future generation can enjoy the same environment we have privilege to have. Sustainable technologies, with focus on reducing their carbon footprint will be a way to go. For the developed countries to agree on a emissions reduction strategy is a way forward.

Gone a those days when we used to think Climate Change as fairy-tale, some of the impact of Climate Change are being felt now, unfortunately the hardest hit continent will be AFRICA.

The effects of Climate Change will be disastrous if we don’t take action now, major alternatives should be sought, so that we don’t deplete our non-renewable resources. Alternatives to reduce carbon emissions to the atmosphere are available, it’s just that many governments should start prioritizing issues of Climate Change like never before, good leadership and management in the initiatives should be ensured, so that all efforts invested in these drive bears fruits. The road to having a positive impact on Climate Change is a long one, commitment and funding, will do.

We have not had them yet, but the bloggers blaming overpopulation for all our ills are surley going to show up.

You are a numbers cruncher (Rebel Accountant). Maybe you can answer the question whether our global ecological problem is overpopulation or overconsumption in an article on Though Leader.

I suggested elswhere that overpopulation and overconsumption can both be overcome if we immediately steralise everyone who overuses the planets natrual resources, or contributes to more than their fair share of pollution.

That immediately excludes people living on less than one or two dollars a day, they don’t overconsume.

I beleive the overpopulation argument is merely a ruse to take our attention away from the real issues such as climate change.

The overpopulation argument appeals to certain people, i.e blame someone else. They easily understand that high birth rates are the problem, stop that, problem solved! – Huh?

If highly populated and highly industrialised Germany can convert to 100% renewable energy by 2050 why can’t South Africa? We have more sunshine and coast line than Germany will ever have?

Germany to be using 100% renewable energy by 2050:

Germany is/was employing 30 000 coal miners and
30 000 nuclear workers, with their decision to go 100% renewable, the renewable energy sector is now employing between 120 000 and 270 000 people (estimates vary) and the number is growing daily.

Could’nt we do with some extra jobs in SA as well?

“The fine print on foreign aid comes with many conditions that makes everything worse for the people and better off for the corporations and countries that funded the aid to begin with – the issue is not with aid. It is with the evil intentions that have always been behind it….”

“for every dollar [Africa] receives in aid they still lose two because of unfair trade.” said Max Lawson.

Africans will use anything to squeeze money out of the rest of the world without lifting a finger themselves.
