Ammonia NH3 scandal.CO2-free fuel suppressed by Big Oil.

80 years ago I could have taken a bus in Belgium that use CO2-free fuel, made from Green Gas Ammonia, and cheaper at present prices than gasoline. A car has been driven across America  on NH3 with its motor slightly adapted, the safe clean fuel has been used for tractors, locomotives and even NASA JETS.

GREEN GAS  NH3, is made by the same century old process used to make fertilizer..Just AIR plus WATER plus electricity. Now finally a new way to make Green Gas called SSAS has been found, which costs even less and is suited to wind turbine and off peak solar energy.

The oil and gas companies get billions every year in direct tax gifts from government, on top of their immense profits, and pay nothing to offset severe worldwide contamination and runaway climate change.

I`m not a moralistic person but last month I scrapped my old car.. Now I`m walking a lot and I live on a mountain. I really need transport, but how can I justify to my children if we take part in pushing the fragile world climate over the edge?

But WHY do we have  to use planet destroying technology when a C02 free alternative has existed all along.? Why can no venture company get backing to produce the fuel, when the technology is simple and proven and even the distribution system already exists (for the fertilizer Ammonia)?

Because these corporate climate mega criminals have set it up that way. Of course. For nearly a century they have suppressed Green Gas NH3. When will they be prosecuted, pilloried , ostracised  and brought to justice?..Okay I haven`t got much proof…

For example.. The company GreenNH3 (which sells green gas at 50c a liter) reports on its efforts to publicise the product on a CBC show…   After going through the interview process the man and woman said, they wanted us on the show, but could not, since our product (technology) had been vetoed by one of the Dragons who (he) was heavy invested in oil.  check it out  here

How come the oil industry in Nth America gets a 2.5 billion yearly tax gift while Green Gas supporters don`t even get their petitions answered?  Another wonder of  predator Capitalism!

At +5 C, Africa will burn..100s of millions will be underwater,

“If developed countries don’t increase their reduction targets to 40 percent by 2020 without offsets, they are risking five [degrees] C of warming and a planetary emergency,” said Asad Rehman, head of the International Climate programme at Friends of the Earth.

representatives of civil society reminded delegates time and again. And it is likely even worse than that. Human civilisation has arisen and thrived during a time of little change in global temperature. The current temperature increase of 0.8 degrees C is only about half of what is now guaranteed even if all emissions ended today.

Even a 1.5 to 2.0 C temperature rise puts humanity effectively on a new planet, with a different climate than we have prospered in. Additional warming not only further threatens that prosperity it bring us far too close to the nightmare scenario of runaway climate change that will threaten our very survival, experts warn.

No developed country is close to the 40-percent cut that the science says is needed by 2020 to stay below two degrees C. ………………….READ here  

African Agriculture and Food Supply at Risk
By Julio Godoy

BONN, Jun 18, 2011 (IPS) – Climate change and global warming are likely to have dramatically negative effects on African agriculture and food supply by reducing river runoffs and water recharge, especially in semi-arid zones such as Southern Africa, two new reports say.

CLIMATE CHANGE
Putting Children in Harm’s Way

RIFT VALLEY, Jun 17, 2011 (IPS) – It is late afternoon and the lone figure of nine-year-old Nancy Chepkemboi trudges home. She is soaked to the bone and this now happens on a regular basis because of the unusually frequent and high rains, placing her at risk of contracting pneumonia. And possibly even malaria. Puddles of standing water are a common feature in these regions, and are responsible for the highest malaria infection rates.

According to the ministry of health, malaria is the number one killer of children under the age of five. Almost 34,000 Kenyan children die from malaria annually. And they are at higher risk for contracting malaria during the rainy seasons.

Climatically Kenya is experiencing two extremes. Due to climate change, there has been no rain in most parts of the country. The drought in the northeastern region has been labeled a national disaster. But in the Rift Valley and in Western Kenya the rains have been heavier than expected. And there is more to come.   Read here 

 

Bankers 36% pay rise. Banqueros ladrones!

La crisis financiera finalmente ha terminado! O al menos en lo que respecta a los sueldos que los grandes banqueros del mundo se conceden. El diario británicoFinancial Times  solicitó a la consultora especializada Equilar un informe para analizar los sueldos de los mayores ejecutivos de los 15 bancos que, en buena medida, fueron responsables por la debacle económica que azotó a los ciudadanos de prácticamente todo el mundo (claro, excepto a los de la propia élite) y cuyos efectos persisten en numerosas economías nacionales. El resultado fue confirmar que el salario de dichos ejecutivos aumentó, en promedio, un 36%, alcanzando los 9.7 millones de dólares anuales.

Iceland/Islandia: WE WONT PAY BANKS. Revolution!.

Its first pledge was to break all its promises, making the party almost impossible to attack, then it promised a polar bear to the zoo and a drug-free parliament within 10 years.

The party’s only advertisement was in a newspaper personal column, saying: “The Best Party wishes to meet good people aged between 18 and 90.” Its 10-point plan had 13 points. And the party’s campaign video featured candidates singing Tina Turner’s Simply the Best, with the chorus: “We are the best, the bestest of parties, best for Reykjavik, best city of every week.” It works in Icelandic.

Iceland was ripe for change, having effectively gone bust thanks to the cronyism of a cluster of politicians and bankers who thought that they could turn an island of fishermen with a population of 318,000 into a financial superpower.

In less than four years, the most rapid expansion of a banking system in history saw three privatised banks develop assets 10 times the size of the country’s GDP. It was the Icarus economy. Property prices tripled, the stock market multiplied nine times, and people borrowed heavily – often in foreign currencies – to cash in on the boom. The crash was fast, hard and painful, worsened by the collapse of the krona as the state, unable to bail out the banks, refused to pay foreign creditors.

The strategy looks smart now, compared with events in Greece and Ireland, but the country was angry and frightened. Voters wanted change, and the Best Party caught the mood, capturing Reykjavik with 34.7% of the vote. “No one has to be afraid of the Best Party,” said Jón in his acceptance speech. “Because it is the best party. If it wasn’t, it would be called the Worst Party or the Bad Party. We would never work with a party like that.”

Demonstrators respond with stones to the police attack, the square is covered with the white powder that gas bombs leave behind, but people still there, while others are re-concentrating on the streets around the square and are trying to move back on the square.

15:29 (2+GMT) Police attacks en mass in Athens, tear gas and stand grenade everywhere in Syntagma. Stones against the police and against the Hotel Great Bretagnia.  Earlier in Gianneana (NW Greece) demonstrators attempted to occupy the prefecture, they managed it for a while, but then riot police attacked to them, clashes followed.

15:15 (2+GMT) Tension at Syntagma Sq continues. At Akadimias st. police threw a lot of tear gas a few minutes ago. Clashes between riot cops and demonstrators in front of the Ministry of Economic, a lot of petrol bombs and tear gas were thrown. People are back outside parliament and they’ re preparing for a stand-off. In front of the parliament anarchists and fascists are next to each other chanting slogans, the situation was really tense, after some clashes fascists were kicked out of the area.

Monday, June 13, 2011

222 1024x659 #616| Pick a point, go there, stay there: on Wednesday June 15th we encircle and we block parliament

 

The map above pins the three blockade points that have been called by the Syntagma Assembly for Wednesday, June 15th at 7 a.m. These are Syntagma Square, the Panathenean Stadium and the metro stop “Euagelismos”. The General Strike demonstration will start at 11 a.m. at the Archeological Museum (on Patision Ave, by the Polytechnic) and will also head to Syntagma square.

The 15th of June is not the day of just another demonstration, and it’s not just another action. It has to be the first day of us taking back our lives, us striking back at this unprecedented assault by state, capital and the crypto-fascism of national consensus.

Words have little value at this point – everyone to the streets!

#615 | The popular assembly of Syntagma square calls for the blockade of Parliament – the new IMF agreement shall not pass

Sunday, June 12, 2011

Last night (June 11th) the popular assembly of Syntagma square announced a call to blockade the Greek parliament ahead of the voting of the so-called Mid-term agreement between the Greek government and the troika (IMF/ECB/EU). The new agreement includes wild tax increases, the further slashing of wages and pensions and the lay-off of approximately more 100,000 civil servants in the next few years.

The call-out for the blockade below is one of the most important acts we have seen by the Syntagma assembly so far. June 15th is gearing up to become a historical day in Greece, a crucial chance to block off the charge-ahead of neoliberalism here.

Don’t be a spectator to this – translate and disseminate the text below; organise a gathering where you are, or come join us at Syntagma. This is the struggle for and of our lives.

Greek original

24 hours in the streets!

We give our own RESPONSE to the MIDTERM AGREEMENT

June 15th, we encircle Parliament

Now that the government is trying to vote in the mid-term agreement, we encircle Parliament, we gather and we stay at Syntagma.

All together, we continue and strengthen the mobilisations that began on May 25th. Our first stop is the General Strike of June 15th. We won’t stop until they withdraw it.

We support by all means the General Strike and we demonstrate peacefully. On June 15th, we do not work  and we do not consume. We coordinate with all citizens who want to express their disagreement to the mid-term agreement, with the strikers and their unions, with the popular assemblies, with mobilisations and occupations across the country. We call artists to support the mobilisation, to take to the streets with us and to give it their own touch. We will have three big meeting points:

Everyone on Wednesday June 15th, at 7 am:

1. In front of Parliament

2. At the metro stop Euagelismos

3. At the Panathenaic Stadium (on Vasileos Konstantinou Avenue)

Until June 15th we will be going all over Athens to make sure that the call of the Popular Assembly of Syntagma is spread everywhere. We give a meeting of struggle for the day of the voting in of the Mid-term agreement.

Let’s make our own voice heard loudly:

THE MID-TERM AGREEMENT        SHALL NOT PASS

Popular Assembly of Syntagma Square June 11th, 2011
