Fossil divestments trend is killing coal.
Posted Fri, 06 Feb 2015 09:55:00 GMT by Paul RobinsonHow will governments approach the UN Paris Summit on 30th November, as campaigns worldwide build into asset-threatening divestment of funds and we all begin to accept this has to be the end of fossil fuels. Or it will be the end of the Earth as we know it as far as temperatures are concerned!

Is it penguin or human? Important MPA Antarctic swim-bid.
Posted Tue, 03 Feb 2015 16:20:01 GMT by Paul RobinsonMany levers have been tried in establishing conservation aims. This series of really cold swims will test to see if the Antarctic can be maintained as a pollution and overfishing-free zone. That is certainly the way it should remain, but greed can always be counted as a major factor in human affairs.

Jaime la belle Paris, mais sacre bleu!
Posted Tue, 09 Dec 2014 17:14:00 GMT by Dave ArmstrongAre we picking on Paris? No, this is a simple look at the lively discussion surrounding wood fires and vehicular transport in a typical city these days. Two people arguing about their responsibilities towards their capital and its people. This is the way we need to approach city life - by reason, not by dictate.

International Day of Persons with Disabilities, 3rd December.
Posted Tue, 02 Dec 2014 18:55:00 GMT by JW DoweyHow much can we use the disabled to usher in new technology and to fill a great gap in society? To fulfil their hopes and improve economies in every nation, many more people can be employed despite any negative attitudes. The result will be a fairer society and less stress for all of us who fear disease or accident that could, at the moment, end our working lives.

South American problems/climate change in Lima today
Posted Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:15:00 GMT by Paul RobinsonSome biodiversity with macaws in the inclusive story and a lovely woolly alpaca here, but the emphasis in South America is on Lima and the key decisions that should be made there this week. Optimism is reported, but how can we be optimistic when there is so much to do, in so many regions, as global warming provides us all with floods, sudden storms and worse !

A future for the Aral Sea is hopefully assured.
Posted Tue, 04 Nov 2014 12:20:46 GMT by Dave ArmstrongAfter such a long time, the Aral Sea area is about to be rehabilitated, but the large area of the 4th largest inland sea in the world will never be returned to its natural watery state. The partners and donors are rewarding the patience and planning of Uzbekistans President Islam Karimov and his First Deputy Prime Minister Rustam Azimov.
A future for the Aral Sea is hopefully assured.
Climate: what does the UN want?
Posted Mon, 03 Nov 2014 09:15:00 GMT by Paul RobinsonThe UN wants big changes, which it will find difficult to implement. We all agree however with the basic need to follow the logical path towards lowering temperatures and climate risks. There is only one group stopping this inevitable progress, a bit like those who often prevented the progress of the industrial revolution. They did not succeed, so let us all make sure our industrial evolution for the future succeeds quickly! The alternatives are non-existent.

United Nations Day, October 24th 2014
Posted Thu, 23 Oct 2014 20:35:00 GMT by Paul RobinsonHow to celebrate UN Day? We suggest it is entirely up to you. Sit down and read uplifting material; worry about progress in one part of the world; get up and volunteer in any way you think right; object to one aspect of the organisation just as everybody else seems to do; whatever --- enjoy the chance it gives you to be universal!

Global Warmings final warning.
Posted Mon, 15 Sep 2014 11:59:00 GMT by JW DoweyThe NYC Climate Summit is building up pressure. This press release is a significant document, alongside all the crushing evidence of an out-of-control climate, involving many prominent people who want the politicians to make their own impact. Its from 160 leading environmentalists from 44 countries, and, believe me, we all approve of the action.

There is a songster we have missed. He sings far beneath the ice in the dark of a polar winter, so maybe its about time we listened to the incredible songs that this whale concocts every winter, every month and possibly each day!
You can deny climate change as much as you like. The evidence contradicts you. Any logical study takes account of scientific data which can be reproduced. That is the difference between media reports and the global warming reality. Here we have an up-to-date report on the state of one nation, with many others also recognising and acting on how to combat climate change in a coordinated global response.
IUCN must be listened to, unless you are one of those who disregards any science on the grounds that it could be fake. Acting is the opposite to disinterest, but what can we do to counter the actions of great industries or the governments of large populations of people? The answer seems bland, but it proves individuals are always important.
