Green IPO Watch

Biofuels from food in destroyed natural habitats is unethical and ecologically unsustainableTAKE ACTION! Kenya has recently approved plans to destroy some 20,000 acres of the globally important and ecologically sensitive Tana Delta for sugar and biofuel production [search]. Covering 130,000 hectares, these wetlands' diverse riverine vegetation -- forests, swamps, dunes, beaches and ocean -- will be forever altered by widespread vast fields of toxic, monoculture sugar cane and biofuel mill. The project threatens 350 species including birds, lions, hippos, nesting turtles, elephants, sharks, reptiles and the Tana red colobus, one of 25 primates facing extinction globally. Biofuel production worldwide continues to destroy crucial natural ecosystems [search] required for local and global sustainability. While hailed as a climate change remedy, this destruction of natural habitats for biofuel production almost always releases more carbon than saved. Using food such as sugar for fuel has raised food prices, leading to riots globally, including in Kenya. Please respectfully request the project be permanently cancelled. TAKE ACTION!

  • Amazon River Found to Be Key to Tropical Ocean Carbon Sink (Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:21:06 -0600)  

    Amazon rainforests linked to rivers, oceans and the atmosphereInteresting new findings suggest the Amazon River powers tropical ocean's carbon sinks [ark | more\ark] by transporting nutrients well beyond the continental shelf, pushing carbon capture into the deep ocean. Fed from river transported iron and phosphorus, organisms called diazotrophs pull nitrogen and carbon from the air and make organic solids that sink to the ocean floor. This major river fed tropical ocean carbon sink [search] is thought to be more than enough to offset ocean respiration.

    This is yet another startling demonstration of the Earth's cycling of nutrients and energy -- between forests, water, oceans and the atmosphere -- which makes all life possible. Each of these ecosystems is being dismantled to meet exponential human growth without even understanding how they work or interact with the others, threatening the operation of the Earth System [search] -- Gaia if you will. The most urgent task of all human history is to understand how Gaia works even as we work urgently and boldly to maintain her threatened ecosystem processes and patterns. Our and all being depends upon success for our future being.

  • Welcome Calls for a Climate Change New Deal (Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:30:43 -0600)  

    Time for a Climate Change New DealA new report entitled A New Green Deal, issued by the New Economics Foundation, calls for sufficient and long-overdue policies [ark] to truly address related climate change, food and energy prices, and economic and financial crises. They recommend every home generate its own power, taxing oil and gas firms' windfall profits to pay for massive renewable energy investments and other green transformations, and pricing of carbon including through taxes. We have already noted Al Gore's proposal (albeit somewhat belated) to transition to 100% renewable energy in ten years [search]. At last think tanks and public intellectuals are starting to think in terms of bold, ambitious policies adequate to sufficiently address the looming civilization breakers.

    After these various proposals are harmonized by a global group of elders, we need to carry out truthful persuasive communication campaigns to get the public and governments onboard. Such doable and clearly widely beneficial proposals (except perhaps to certain sectors of the elite) are welcome and must be pursued with all haste. However, the New Economics Foundation does themselves a disservice with their carefully hedged dire warning that "new analysis suggests that from the end of July 2008 there is only 100 months, or less, to stabilise concentrations of greenhouse gases [ark] in the atmosphere before we hit a potential point of no return." In fact this is a prediction, and no one knows for sure. We are just as likely to have already passed that point -- and this looming climate tipping point is an actual point, with nothing potential about it.

    • “Smart Investors Should Look at Ethanol Before They Catch Ethanol Fever” (By Russell Hasan, www.altenews.com) - With growing concern over global warming caused by pollution, a need for independence from foreign oil shipped from the politically unstable Middle East, and a rising price of oil, there has come a blossoming grasp of the need for renewable energy and the dire consequences of a failure to develop alternative resources. Coverage of these issues in the media, and the promotion of ethanol as a solution to replace oil-based gasoline, has pushed ethanol into the public spotlight and spurred an ethanol investment craze. Ethanol is one of the hottest things on Wall Street, and investors are pouring money in at a feverish pace. Unfortunately, the ethanol hype seems to have distorted investors’ tendency to invest based on hard facts and economic data. Click here
