Talk – COP17: Tipping point for the international climate talks (Reading)

COP17: Tipping point for the international climate talks.
The Kyoto Protocol ends in 2012. The UN climate talks in Durban starting late November 2011 could be our last chance to save the current international climate deal. Industrialised countries are pushing to replace it with a voluntary system for reduction of emissions. A new fund to deliver finance needed by countries affected by climate change is in danger of being given to the World Bank for loans instead of grants or reparations.

Sarah Reader, climate justice campaigner for World Development Movement, will update us on the recent G20 talks and the upcoming UN climate talks and suggest actions we can take. She will be joined by activist John Halladay of Greenpeace.

Venue: RISC 35-39 London St, Reading RG1 4PS
Free event.

    It is to be hoped that COP17 delegates will find some time to read “CFACT nuclear physicist calls on UN to conduct due diligence in Durban” Dr. Kemm, a qualified physicist, speaks out against the UN’s Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Change (CACC) nonsense (http://us1.campaign-archive1.com/?u=87b74a936c723115dfa298cf3&id=05c1f0a60d&e=4c1c38a620).

    Anyone who researches the claims made by the power-hungry, the politicians, envirnmental activists and the renewable energy industrialists recognises very quickly that the scare-mongering propaganda coming out of the UN’s IPCC and other politically motivated organisations is based upon seriously flawed pseudo-scientific analyses.

    After the UN’s COP15 Catastrophe in Copenhagen and its COP16 Caper in Cancun I eagerly anticipate a COP17 “Disaster in Durban” putting an end to this series of Climate-change Official Propoganda (COP) extravaganzas.

    Maybe then due attention can be paid to helping the world’s poor and deprived peoples to adapt to whatever changes in the different global climates Mother Nature decides to throw pour way. Billions have been wasted in order to promote the politically driven CACC propaganda, resources that should and could have been used to improve the living conditions of the truly deprived.

    Of course that would mean no more shindigs in places like Copenhagen, Cancun and Durban, but surely a small sacrifice for our politicians and their hangers-on to make for the good of the world’s less fortunate.
