It is hard to get an overview but in this spirit we go to the Torres Strait Islands, New Zealand, Panama and Belgium. A clear message comes through that indigenous people have a much deeper interest in preserving their mangroves, forests and livelihoods. It is not just about carbon sequestration for them. However, valuing the carbon in living forests as opposed to dead wood may tip the balance in  all our favour. The COP 26 signatories including Australia must be held accountable.On carbon credits:  "Research has(link is external) repeatedly(link is external) shown(link is external) that land under stewardship of Indigenous peoples tends to have far better conservation outcomes — This is a powerful reason to strengthen, not weaken, Indigenous land rights. Also, saying that the only way forward for offsets is corporate control and that Indigenous peoples are going to suffer is problematic. How? This perspective depicts Indigenous peoples as helpless by diminishing their agency and autonomy. It’s also deeply cynical, implying that humanity has learned nothing from the entire history of the conservation movement and is doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.  The fact is, high-quality carbon offsets are necessarily built upon the full and informed participation of Indigenous peoples and local communities, who have much to gain from the financial and technical benefits that carbon offset projects can provide. A major feature — indeed, much of the point — of carbon offsets is restorative justice: a wholesale transfer of wealth aimed at rewarding those who protect nature for everyone’s benefit by acknowledging their control of their lands.

It was daring for the ABC. Geoff Thompson's Background Briefing is well worth a listen, though 3CR has been reporting on this movement for ages.  We are looking for social tipping points when the majority of people understand that direct action is needed.  Nature understands the tipping points of hot house gasses, the Antarctic Ice shelf just crumbles..... and you know the rest.PODCAST :  https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/backgroundbriefing/inside-the-climate-activists-plan-to-shut-down-australia/101324992  In search of what climate action works, I quote from Erica Chernoweth's study on how Non Violent Action has more lasting effects than Violent revolution, especially if we all get behind it. Then I go to the Sydney Climate Rally of August 7th. The harsh new anti protest laws and imminent opening of new gas wells are upermost in our minds.Paddy Gibson talks about the hopes of the Gommeroi people that the new government will stop the Santos Gas project in the Pilliga. Yet Santos is attempting to overide their Native title to establish  850 gas wells in the Pilliga Forest.Paul Keating and Abigail Boyd voice the massive opposition from unions and civil society groups to the new police powers over protesters and Rilka speaks about how harshly they had been applied to Blockade Australia. Then we hear from David Spratt talking to Nick Breeze about climate risk. He says that the IPCC is giving policy makers the wrong message.   For him the only question is "What is the worst that can happen and what do we need to do to prevent it? Breaking news : Paul Gilding's comments on changing our focus from reducing emissions to slowing the RATE of warming by cancelling methane."Much of the climate debate and its central arguments were formed in the 1990s when we perceived we had decades to get things under control. The context has now dramatically changed. The 2020s already see unprecedented heatwaves, wildfires, floods, emerging food crises and related geopolitical conflict – and yet this process has just begun. Every fraction of a degree of warming now brings us closer to climate tipping points that if breached, could lead to a runaway process we cannot control. We are teetering on that edge.Therefore, we need to reset the debate to have a laser focus on the immediate rate of warming and everything that influences it.This will not be easy. History shows that most large-scale global change happens with many distributed actions. Rather than ‘death by a thousand cuts’, it’s more like ‘life by a thousand little victories.’ Thus, most arguments about the merits of different possible actions on climate change, end up with the same conclusion – we need an ‘all of the above’ strategy. We see no silver bullets or amazing heroes, just all of us, and all that we do.Sometimes, though very rarely, an idea comes along which is not like that. A single action that could literally change the course of history.I believe slashing methane emissions urgently, with large reductions this decade, is such an action. Methane is a climate weapon of mass destruction if we don’t act, but a silver bullet if we do. It will not stop climate change - not even close - but it might buy us the time to do so. Success in rapid methane reduction could be the singular difference between achieving some level of messy but manageable global change vs the descent into chaos and economic collapse.However, we will only take this action if we shift our mindset and focus from the ‘level of emissions’ to the ‘rate of warming’.It’s a hard argument to make because of the deeply entrenched focus and momentum on emissions reduction – towards which all progress is then seen as additive. As a result, everyone agrees methane is important, but its singular power to change the path we are on is not yet recognised.Let me be very clear - my key argument is not ‘methane vs CO2’, it is ‘warming vs emissions.’ They’re connected, but very different. And it’s the difference that defines the importance.If we are to reduce the existential risk of runaway climate change, we must slow the 'rate of warming' in less than 10 years. Even drastic reductions in CO2 emissions - while essential and urgent for different reasons - will simply not get us there. Firstly, because CO2 warms the climate slowly (and thus cutting it reduces the rate of warming slowly) and secondly because cutting fossil fuel use also reduces the aerosol pollution which currently has a temporary ‘cooling’ effect.Given all the above, we can see that slowing the ‘rate of warming' is our single most critical task and urgent methane reduction is the most viable way to achieve it.We must therefore throw everything at this task – including faster elimination of fossil fuels, especially gas, and a dramatic focus on food and agriculture, particularly livestock. And we must deliver this change in less than 10 years.It’s a tall order. The good news is that, while not easy, it’s completely doable. Everything we require is available - we just need to decide. As with fossil fuels, the incumbent players will argue it’s complicated and difficult, bad for jobs and the economy, that ‘sure we need to change, just not so fast!’.They are completely wrong. The science is clear that the path we are on – unprecedented climate events, geopolitical chaos, food crises and the risk of runaway warming - is immeasurably and incomparably worse than anything we can do to slow it down.If you want to understand the detail behind this argument, I explored it all in a recent discussion paper at the University of Cambridge. It covers the emergency nature of the task, the actions available and the economic opportunities that result. In particular, I explain why a focus on food and agriculture – particularly livestock – should now be our priority task.This detail matters, but don’t let it distract you from the simplicity of the idea. The path we are on today is accelerating climate change with the risk of runaway warming and global economic chaos. We can choose a different path, but only if we slash methane emissions to slow the rate of warming. The future may well be determined by our decision."~ Paul Gilding, 15 August 2022PDF:https://www.paulgilding.com/s/CC-emissions-v-warming-20220815-FINAL.pdfDiscussion paper:https://www.cisl.cam.ac.uk/resources/publications/methane-markets-and-food-how-climate-emergency-will-drive-urgent-focus Source:https://www.paulgilding.com/cockatoo-chronicles/shifting-focus-from-emissions-to-warming

CLIMATE ACTION RADIO SHOWAUGUST 15TH 2022Produced by Vivien Langford RECALIBRATING THE MILITARY TO DISARM THE CLIMATE HYPERTHREAT  AND ITS FOSSIL ALLIES GUESTSEskimo Joe - Song "Say Something" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtWeAspTz0gThe Singing Revolution - Music from Estonia - https://singingrevolution.com/ Dr Elizabeth Boulton, a former army major in the ADF has published Plan E with the US Marine Corps University in Virginia. Her expertise in logistics and experience in East Timor and Iraq has shown her the flaws in our preparation for threats of a conventional nature. She calls for a Climate Emergency Peace Treaty to give us time to focus on the hyperthreat that makes present day conflicts pale in comparison.  She is shocked that there is no plan to disarm the climate hyperthreat. Armies of the world are sent to protect the supply lines for oil, coal and gas yet these are at the core of  the hyperthreat. Police are used to intimidate and imprison protestors blockading the system that is overheating the earth. This is outdated thinking and dangerous.  Governments, financiers, military and intelligence services are rocketing our ecosystems to "hothouse Earth". However, what is presently legal will soon become criminal ecocide. Imagine  an oil well being dismantled by workers and attacked by mercenaries from the black market in Oil.Or imagine  a forest with  Indigenous protectors being terrorised by illegal loggers. Or fisheries or water supplies that need to be conserved for the common good. Or miners opening up an illegal coal mine. It's hard to imagine it now, but calling in the troops to protect this work might be necessary if all other peaceful negotiations fail. There is a lot of compassion for veterans traumatised by what they have done and seen and this plan  re deploys them in building and land regeneration.  Mobilising the 18 million people displaced by climate chaos would give them jobs as earth citizens. Dr Boulton's  fast and furious plan is that Global security forces will be deployed to help us survive.Related news articles: Alumna Dr Elizabeth Boulton addresses the ‘hyperthreat’ of climate change, UNSW Canberra, 26 July 2022 Climate Change Isn’t a Threat Multiplier.

CLIMATE ACTION RADIO SHOWJULY 25TH 2022Produced by Vivien Langford THE STATE OF THE ENVIRONMENT REPORT "We are living like aliens in this country" Richard Swain  As the State of the Environment report says " caring for Country is far more than environmental management – it is caring for Country as if land and seas are kin." Richard Swain, who features in a film set in the Kosciusko National Park, says there is a real yearning among some Australians to be connected to country. He invites us all to care for country. One place to start is getting rid of feral horses on the NSW side of the Alpine Park Region. Victoria has made progress to protect the fragile Bogong high plains from feral horses whereas NSW protects them under the 2018 Wild Horses Heritage Act .  He is the Indigenous Ambassador for the Invasive Species Council.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhtc-pnUjUw&t=21shttps://www.riverguide.com.au/about.htmlhttps://invasives.org.au/our-work/climate-change/ https://www.frontyardfilms.com.au/wherethewaterstarts/https://reclaimkosci.org.au/Christine Milne is the other Ambassador for the Invasive Species Council as well as for the Global Greens. She is working for an integrated regional and global response to invasive species in the Asia Pacific area.She says the climate movement has been focussed on the Energy Transition with less attention to the biodiversity loss which is also driving emissions.https://invasives.org.au/how-to-help/take-action/stand-up-for-kosciuszko/ Peg Putt co ordinates the Forest Biomass and Climate working group. She tells us about the destruction of richly biodiverse forests in the US Southern States. The forestry Industry worth $300 Billion in the US is positioning itself as offering climate solutions through the burning of wood pellets for electricity. Environment groups accuse The Nature Conservancy of promoting this as a  "false climate solution".The European Union's 2020 climate and energy program classifies wood pellets as a carbon-neutral form of renewable energy, and European companies have invested billions to convert coal plants to plants that can burn wood pellets.Peg explains the whole of landscape solutions needed to prevent logging fro energy causing more destruction here. As the SOE says " Human activities associated with intensified land use over the past 250 years have substantially depleted soil organic carbon (Figure 21) and contributed to global climate change. Australia is listed as number 3 (behind China and the United States) among countries with the highest loss of soil organic carbonContact Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek. (02) 9379 [email protected]. Ask her to delete wood pellets from the list of renewable enrgy sources allowed as offsets etc.2.

She has represented communities challenging mining giants, proponents of environmentally harmful development and holding Governments to account for the environment. She has delivered environmental legal services to rural, remote and regional communities and First Nations communities across NSW.You can find the footage and audio of Sue speaking in support of Abigail Boyd’s disallowance motion in the NSW Parliament at this link - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Aw3o0V1T5qG-D9kwjqqA__IVuwLPFAXE/view?usp=sharing Blockade Australia -  Members interviewed  in a safe location and also in their week of Non Violent Disruptive Climate Action in Sydney June 2022 Aunty Caroline Kirk - First Nations Ngemba Elder arrested at the B.A Camp Tom Hume  - Singing Petition for Dovetale:   https://dovetalemusic.bandcamp.com/releases As nurses and teachers were on strike outside, inside the NSW parliament they were consolidating the police state.Forty eminent and alarmed civil society groups  such as the Human Rights Law Centre, the MUA, Environmental Defenders Office and 350.ORG had petitioned the parliament in the accepted way. However, the government and opposition ignored their pleas and  voted against a disallowance motion to their harsh new anti protest laws.No wonder then  that non violent disruptive action seems to be the only way to stop our system fuelling more climate disruption. We interview some of the Blockade Australia people  who have come from all over the country to Sydney, where colonisation began and where the extractive and destructive system is most clearly seen.One person, whose own life has been disrupted by the Lismore floods, Mali,  said as a man swore and shouted at her, and she was locked into a car blocking a tunnel,  "To this man I would say I stand with you. It is for you, it is for your family that we do this. It's for everyone, people we love, that we take this stand. It is for all of us that we need our life support systems."Meanwhile climate events are disrupting the traffic, with flooded roads and landslides on rail tracks. What would it take for the parliament to send its hellicopters and dog squads to arrest the real climate criminals?To charge them with disrupting the traffic. To charge them with the massive costs they are inflicting on our homes and crops. To connect their profitable coal oil and gas export, their landclearing and  their global supply chains  with the over  heated  oceans turbo charging the flooding rains?Blockadia is making this thinkable, when will it be possible?https://theconversation.com/blockadia-helped-cancel-the-keystone-xl-pipeline-and-could-change-mainstream-environmentalism-155276We talk to the blockaders and to Sue Higginson lawyer and member of NSW Parliament.You can read Sue's  full speech in parliament (above) As there were so few MPs in the room and they can not have been moved by her words we are broadcasting it to a larger audience.

On display were 5B Mavericks. Mr Albanese was enthusiastic because they were very close to his electorate, employed many people and had expanded to USA, India and Chile. We asked them what 5B stood for and it turned out to be for the Five Billion Years of sun power ahead of us. The Mavericks are solar arrays the size of a roof. they can be folded up and deployed elsewhere and their inventors are Chris Mc Grath and Eden Tehan. Since the election many are expecting a great acceleration of clean energy and John Grimes says that the targets taken to the election could be more than doubled by 2030.Then we go to Port Augusta  and Whyalla with Kurt Johnson who found there was such a boom for workers there he could hardly find a room for the night. There is a Renewable Energy Park there with wind , solar, ocean and energy storage.https://www.dpenergy.com/projects/port-augusta-renewable-energy-park/It's not a simple story however, and locals are somewhat resigned to big promises, booms and setbacks.  One problem may be the difficulty of finding skilled workers and here is Kurt's article investigating that : https://reneweconomy.com.au/could-a-skills-shortage-stall-the-renewable-energy-revolution/He talks about the Sundrop  Farm which uses solar power to desalinate the sea water from St Vincent's Gulf and grow acres of tomatoes.https://reneweconomy.com.au/good-taste-and-food-security-how-sundrop-rewrote-rules-of-tomato-crops/ - https://www.sundropfarms.com/our-facilities/TRAININGThe Smart  Energy Council already has certificate courses: https://smartenergy.org.au/training/https://nswliberal.org.au/Shared-Content/News/2021/New-Training-For-Renewable-Jobs-Revolutionhttps://www.premier.vic.gov.au/ensuring-women-are-part-clean-energy-revolutionWe have our ears out to report on other training opportunities to turbo charge this energy transition, so please let us know by calling 3CR -   (03) 94198377 - In France they do not have a Minister for Climate Change but a Minister for Energy Transition which sounds much more determined, and we hope to interview her soon. https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/news/three-women-to-steer-frances-new-super-green-ministry/
