More about Germanwatch,
Wikipedia says (en.wikipedia.org):
Germanwatch is a
non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Bonn, Germany. It seeks to
influence public policy on trade, the environment, and relations between
countries in the industrialized north and underdeveloped south… Particular
areas of interest include trade in food and agricultural policy, climate
change, and corporate accountability.
I note: Germanwatch “seeks to influence public policy on …
the environment…” and “Particular areas of interest… climate change.”
On its main page, Germanwatch
has 1 image that says (germanwatch.org):
We are facing two
major climate challenges. First: To avoid unmanageable levels of climate change
– through climate protection. Second: To tackle the inevitable effects of
climate change – through adaptation. Germanwatch works on both, equitable and
efficient solutions.
There,
Germanwatch mentions “adaptation” and “climate protection” – but not “removal”
or at least reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that industry and agriculture
inevitably produce?! Germanwatch talks about “the inevitable effects
of climate change” but not the origins of such avoidable causes!
Why is that?
More specifically, why does not Germanwatch discuss how Conventional
or Chemical Agriculture (CA) generates so much greenhouse gases – it is the
GHGs that generate so much climate change because of the greenhouse effect – high above Earth, the
atmosphere traps the gases escaping from Earth, forming a layer that behaves
like the top of a worldwide greenhouse, trapping heat emanating from below.
(“Greenhouse Effect” from climate.nasa.gov)
I
see that Germanwatch, like I like to say, is “slipping on the job”!
The
more the world applies chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the more GHGs are
generated and the more the world suffers from the floods & droughts &
bad weather that climate change brings. CA is good – and bad!
Thus, the Life & Death Question is: How can CA be
avoided to avoid climate change? Asking as a friend!
Asking “Which Countries Are Most Threatened By And
Vulnerable To Climate Change?” (Iberdrola, iberdrola.com),
Iberdrola answers its own
question: 10 countries listed – #1: Japan, #2: Philippines, #3: Germany, #4:
Madagascar, #5: India, #6: Sri Lanka, #7: Kenya, #8: Ruanda, #9: Canada, and #10:
Fuji
My
beloved country the Philippines is #2, the 2nd country most
endangered by climate change!
I
have been writing about climate change since at least 05 June 2013 (see “Climate
Change Scientist, Leader & Evangelist” (Frank
A Hilario, blogspot.com). The person I was writing
about was UPLB Chancellor Rex Victor Cruz,
one of the members of the Intergovernmental
Panel for Climate Change that won the Nobel
Peace Prize in 2007. I was hoping he would steer UPLB towards what would
later be known as “Regenerative Agriculture” – he did not. I am hoping I will,
to not fail the Filipinos!@517
