The effects of climate change are expected to be greatest in the developing countries in terms of loss of life and relative effects on investment and the economy.

Tuvalu, 2004-12-28: Two years ago the government announced they might sue the United States and Australia because they have rejected the Kyoto protocol on global warming.

Inuits: The US position on global warming is threatening their existence as a people.

...what just happened, hitting Maldives, for example, does clearly underscore the necessity and the urgency to move beyond the problems of definitions, of hesitations, of uncertainty, and try to build the capacity of these vulnerable island countries to be able to cope with these disasters...The world should be ashamed of itself.

The technologies are out there to create sustainable energy sources, materials, and more, that can prevent or mitigate the worst results of global warming. High-tech fixes to actually living alongside rising oceans may prove a lot more elusive.

The answers are achievable, but will require a difficult and significant shift in moral beliefs, life styles, laws, and leadership. Making people change how they think and behave is the most difficult part of the solution and may make this particular solution impossible to achieve. Also, time is not on our side so we must begin now.

Frieda Berryhill: Nuclear Power (;-/) :: Solar Power! (:->)

Current

. . News Ticker . . .

The cover story of the latest issue of Green Pages details how the Florida Greens are working with other anti-nuclear activists to prevent the licensing of three new reactors. With a pro-nuclear President in the White House, it’s critical that Greens work with activists around the country to defeat the idea that the answer to climate change is additional nuclear reactors.

In From Hopenhagen to Nopenhagen Brian Tokar of the Institute for Social Ecology states “After the 2007 climate summit in Bali, Indonesia, the Bush administration tried to initiate an alternate track of negotiations on climate policy that involved only a select handful of the more compliant countries … Now that the Obama administration has adopted essentially the same approach …”

Also included are articles on the upcoming mid-term elections and obituaries for Bob Long and Dennis Brutus. As always; read, comment, distribute.

About the logo on the cover illustration

With radiating waves, a skull and crossbones and a running person, a new ionizing radiation warning symbol is being introduced to supplement the traditional international symbol for radiation, the three cornered trefoil.

The new symbol is being launched today by the IAEA and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to help reduce needless deaths and serious injuries from accidental exposure to large radioactive sources. It will serve as a supplementary warning to the trefoil, which has no intuitive meaning and little recognition beyond those educated in its significance.
