Occupy Corporatism

The UN International Energy Agency (IEA) stated in a recent report on climate change that computer predictions claim the global temperature will rise to 9.54 degrees Fahrenheit within this century.
The IEA says that governments across the globe must adhere to UN specifications on CO2 emissions to stave off extreme weather and the worst provided by the statistical assumptions in their computer models.
Recommendations include:
• Enacting UN energy policies in every nation
• Limit construction of coal and nuclear plants
• Restrict methane emissions from power plants and oil and natural gas extraction
• Phase out fossil fuel subsidies from governments to corporations
• Implement carbon taxing in every country
Alarmist conversations have shifted from stopping climate change to learning to live with it. Adaptation is the new solution being presented to the public in what the UN refers to as “managing the unavoidable.”
Just as Al Gore pointed out in his book “The Future”, scientists are clamoring around the idea that reduction is futile so the public must adapt to climate change or die.
The immediate necessity of governmental and UN intervention on behalf of the planet is evidenced in studies such as was recently published by the UCLA.
This research claims that by 2050, because of CO2 emissions, snowfall in California will slow down substantially. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villarairgosa remarked that the AdoptLA framework initiative would develop solutions to combat this problem preemptively.
The study states that less snow will coincide with flooding of the area. These predictions are based on computer models that work on the data inputted.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has announced that he will champion a $20 billion dollar project to combat climate change and the threat of rising sea levels with the construction of flood gates and levees.
Bloomberg said : “Whether you believe climate change is real or not is beside the point. The bottom line is: We can’t run the risk.”
The document outlines the assessment made by Bloomberg’s office on how to properly combat climate change which includes:
• Rewriting existing building codes
• Structuring public transportation, hospitals, water treatment plants and communities to meet the challenges of global warming
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee is in accord with Bloomberg to create digital cities that are climate change friendly. Construction will withstand extreme weather, reroute power during outages, be protected from flooding and assist residents in transportation out of devastated or affected areas.
Bloomberg and Lee have attended a summit to discuss these schemes for their cities that will bring together residents in conjunction with learning to live sustainable lives.
Rosina Bierbaum, presidential science adviser of the National Climate Assessment (NCA) said: “It’s quite striking how much is going on at the municipal level. Communities have to operate in real time. Everybody is struggling with a climate that is no longer the climate of the past.”
Bierbaum asserts that: “Many of the other developed countries have gone way ahead of us in preparing for climate change. In many ways, the US may be playing catch-up.”
Bloomberg is also beta-testing a program in Staten Island and Manhattan wherein certain apartment buildings and 3,500 homes are required to save their food scraps for composting.
By late this year, the initiative will become mandated throughout cities in New York; just as this scheme is required in San Francisco and Seattle.
Eric Goldstein, lawyer for the Natural resources Defense Council said : “New York City, because of its density, faces logistical challenges on many fronts, and so when the city concludes that food waste composting is workable and economically and environmentally sound, that’s a decision that other municipalities will give weight to.”
City officials say that residents spend $100 million annually to dispose of food waste. This scheme will save money and create fertilizer that is viewed as “an aggressive step into recycling food waste.”
