Global Warming: Global Climate Justice Alliance launched by Kofi Annan

Former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has launched a global alliance for climate justice at the first meeting of the Global Humanitarian Forum.

The two-day meeting in Geneva aimed to address the "human face of climate change" and to bring together different actors that don't normally work side by side to discuss how best to adapt.

Some 300 luminaries from the world of politics, business, diplomacy and development took part in the discussions and identified a number of solutions that will be fed into discussions leading up to the critical post-Kyoto climate conference in Copenhagen in December 2009.

"Climate change is very real and is happening now. We will build a global alliance for climate justice and it must be at the heart of Copenhagen," said Annan at the first high-level meeting of his new humanitarian forum.

"As an international community, we must recognise that the polluter must pay and not the poor and vulnerable."

Annan said communities needed to be empowered with the knowledge and tools to deal with the worst effects of climate change.

"We cannot allow the extra cost of adapting to climate change to be siphoned off from the ongoing poverty challenge. We should act immediately to provide them with additional funding and appropriate technical assistance," he said.

  • LOL... my first reaction: "how much money is he going to make off this?"....

    Answer: "We should act immediately to provide them with additional funding and appropriate technical assistance," he said. "

    Hey, if IPCC says it's so, the discussion is over, right?

  • There are plenty of reasons why there are climate changes....

    One is the natural structure of the Earth,
    Second is the Physical changes of the Earth and the Environment,
    Third is the fact that many chemicals affect the Environment and the Sea,
    Fourth is the truth that Pollutants destroy the natural aspect of the our own planet...

    I can not believed that a Coal-fired Power Plant is one source of the acid rain that produces heavy rains that causes floods and earth quakes.

  • Scentist have temprature sensors strategically placed around the world (@all four corners if you will) and the earth has cooled 1 degree over the last ten years.
    So when al gore quits using 12,000 kw units per month at his home in TN. that he is only there 20% of the time and flying his gulf stream five jet around the world, Then we will know there is global warming! By the way al has only made 110 million dollars with this propaganda.

    WAKE UP PEOPLE ! QUIT DRINKING THE KOOL-AID

    i'm saddened that, since you're running into some disagreement here, you're going to take your baseball and go home: game over.

    @Rosyjane has some gaps in her edudation [ie, acid rain causes earthquakes...] and you're not going to stick around to try to help her? very sad.

    and, you silly goose, if you leave here, it's just one less person to try to find holes in MY arguments on the subject.... which means, maybe more people will discover some truth in MY writings and not be able to see any in yours, because your writings won't be here.

    and that is.... sorry.... really dumb. get your butt back here. [especially because i use the same argument you do.... " trying to defend logic and reason when people just dont get it."

    so now you know a lot more about how _I_ feel...
