The Resource
Nexus: Food, Water and Sanitation, Energy
THURSDAY, 28
August, 10:00 AM, TRUSTEESHIP COUNCIL CHAMBER
Food, water
and sanitation, and energy are the “resource nexus” at the core of sustainable
development and the overarching goal of poverty eradication. The resource nexus
is intimately linked with sustainable consumption and production patterns. This
relationship, when mismanaged, aggravates resource scarcity and can lead to
conflict. This session will explore how to achieve equitable access to food,
water and sanitation, and sustainable energy, and address the growing
rural-urban divide.

The solution to climate change
ReplyDeletereplacement for fossil fuel powered electrical generation
D.Baker @silenced_not
Urgent action required, appears to be the consensus of the most learned climate change advocates!
The collective wisdom acquired through trial and error test applications of alleged solutions, has been enlightening, and sobering as agenda driven rhetoric failed time after time to deliver a replacement technology for the fossil fuel powered electrical generating facilities, which are the primary sources.of GHG the alleged culprits inducing global climatic destabilization!
Most recently 2 documents have corroborated a much maligned document I wrote!
In My Opinion! lnkd.in/ifM2au@Inc
* Leaked Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) the report says that agricultural output may drop by as much as two percent every decade for the rest of this century, compared to what it would have been without the effects of climate change. Demand for food is reportedly expected to rise 14 percent each decade during that time, exacerbating the food supply issue.

"To Those Influencing Environmental Policy But Opposed to Nuclear Power"
http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/11/03/to-those-influencing-environmental-policy-but-opposed-to-nuclear-power/?_r=0
Unfortunately building conventional nuclear facilities is not realistic due to the costs associated with safety issues.
This leaves you with one option other than Geo-engineering "A New Nuclear Technology"!
Geo-engineering is the newest subsidy for the fossil fuel industry and is wrought with unknown risks and dangers and therefore not an option.
The New Nuclear Technology I propose is as follows:
Human Excrement + Nuclear Waste = Hydrogen

You've tried everything else first and these have failed adding to the urgency of action required!
