A strong statement from AOSIS: “The goalpost has been moved even further to the continued detriment of Small Island Developing States”

Petchary's Blog

The Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), of which Jamaica is a member, tweeted its concerns on the US$100 billion climate finance goal, expressing deep disappointment, and indeed, impatience, noting:

The delay in meeting the US$100 billion #climatefinance goal is a major blow to #SIDS and the developing world. Devastating #climatechange impacts are not waiting, this is about survival.

Ambition must be realised now, before we’re faced with an existential cost beyond our reach.

@AOSISChair on Twitter

They shared this Statement from Ambassador Aubrey Webson, AOSIS Chair:

We now have a climate finance plan, but the US$100 billion goal is still elusive and only likely to be met in 2023. While we appreciate the efforts of the UK COP26 Presidency, Canada, and Germany in leading this initiative for transparency, this is a major blow to the developing world. The goalpost has been moved even further to the continued detriment…

The climate emergency: a last chance to act? – The Lancet

The world is not on track to meet the 1·5°C limit on warming, nor the 2015 Paris Agreement limit of well below 2°C. Global greenhouse gas emissions dipped by 6·4% in 2020, but have since rebounded, and country-level nationally determined contributions fall far short of the necessary targets, with few exceptions. Australia, Brazil, China, Russia, and the USA have the greatest greenhouse gas emissions. Each remains beholden to fossil fuel companies through government subsidies and excess consumption and, in Australia’s case, continually increasing exports of coal. Brazil’s emissions are linked to loss of the Amazon rainforest through clearance for agriculture, which is also causing biodiversity loss of a global magnitude and destroying Indigenous communities. Targets and declarations are futile on their own; it is actions that are needed. Source: The climate emergency: a last chance to act? – The Lancet

Veggie Burger

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Equal Measures: Veggie Burger! For a quarter-pounder without all the fat, substitute red meat for black beans instead. Sound crazy? Actually, I conducted a little taste test on my husband recently. By using mashed black beans, onion, green pepper, egg, and bread crumbs, it seemed more like a meatloaf than a burger. It kinda did. The texture was the same and they fried up real nice in the iron skillet. By the time we added lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle, we practically did a double-take on the finished product. Go all out and slide it between a brioche bun. The veggie burger definitely crossed the finish line at the dinner table. Now that’s delicious.

VEGGIE BURGER

Ingredients:

16-ounce can organic black beans, drained and rinsed well

1/2 green pepper

1/2 yellow onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 egg

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon cumin

Darcy Ribeiro

Vivaldi translation: 2015 – ”Today, the Amazon offers itself to Brazil as its great expansion area, to which inevitably millions of Brazilians are already moving and will continue to move in the future. The forest has been attacked all over its shore and also from within in a powerful demographic movement, driven by economic and ecological factors. More than half of the original population of caboclos in the Amazon has already been displaced from their seats, thrown in the cities of Belém and Manaus. Thus, all the ancient adaptive wisdom that this population had learned from the Indians to live in the forest is lost. ”

Darcy Ribeiro. THE BRAZIL CABOCLO .

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Hoje, a Amazônia se oferece ao Brasil como sua grande área de expansão, para a qual inevitavelmente milhões de brasileiros já estão se transladando e continuarão a se transladar no futuro. A floresta vem sendo atacada em toda a sua orla e também desde dentro num movimento demográfico poderoso, movido por fatores econômicos e ecológicos. Mais de metade da população original de caboclos da Amazônia já foi desalojada de seus assentos, jogados nas cidades de Belém e Manaus. Perde-se, assim, toda a sabedoria adptativa milenar que essa população havia aprendido dos índios para viver na floresta. “

Florbela Espanca

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

É vão o amor, o ódio, ou o desdém;

Inútil o desejo e o sentimento…

Lançar um grande amor aos pés d’alguem

O mesmo é que lançar flores ao vento!

Todos somos no mundo ” Pedro Sem”,

Uma alegria é feita dum tormento,

Um riso é sempre o eco dum lamento,

Sabe-se lá  um beijo donde vem!..

A mais nobre ilusão morre…desfaz-se…

Uma saudade morta em nós renasce

Que no mesmo momento é já perdida…

Amar-te a vida inteira eu não podia…

A gente esquece sempre o bem dum dia.

Que queres, ò meu Amor, se é isto a Vida!..

Florbela Espanca. A VIDA.
