Environmental Parliament
The inaugural debates of Easter Sunday 12th of April, 2009 reached Consensus on the top five issues facing the planet, the people and the environment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We convened, debated and agreed that the top issues facing all of us are: 1) Deforestation 2) Despeciation 3) Human caused climate change 4) Oceans & water 5) Energy & Carbon Economies
Consensus - Geo action and further debate is centered around these subcategories: a) Habitat destruction - deforestation - despeciation. b) Agriculture & Soil erosion, salinization, desertification, loss of fertility. c) Overpopulation and increased per capita impact on the environment. d) Water management e) Buildup of Toxins in the environment f) Ocean acidity, warming, salinity, carbon sinks, pollution & overfishing. g) Earth's photosynthesis and energy. h) Human caused climate change reversal.
On May 10th we will debate Agriculture and Soil depletion, loss of fertility, salinization, desertification, sustainability in food production and aquaculture-permaculture and one straw revolution.
On May 17th we shall debate the Deforestation and Despeciation. The loss of Habitat and resultant ecosystem changes.Measures to reverse it and costs of stopping it. Brazil's example vs Indonesia's method of timber harvest. Tropical rainforests to northern rainforests.
On May 24th we will debate Energy and Earth's Photosynthesis. Debate about the Fossil fuel economy and impacts to local habitat, species, animals and peoples. Positive and negative outcomes. From Niger delta to Equador and the Amazonas oil patches. After the debate we will show in a special screening the film ''Crude''.
On May 31st we will debate the Carbon Trading Schemes, the Clean Coal energy and the UK carbon economy basis of the new budget promoting clean coal energy generation. The presentation of the first Clean coal factory of Vatenfall will be discussed.
