Japan Hosts Intl Scientists After Grim IPCC Report: ""Japan is committed to exercising its leadership in negotiations for a new international framework for 2020 and beyond"

"Rising greenhouse-gas emissions will "significantly" boost the risk of floods, with Europe and Asia particularly exposed, the draft says. 

Temperature increase was also leading to the decline of renewable water resources, while the rising sea level was seen to displace "hundreds of millions" of coastal dwellers by 2100, according to the draft report."

Act Now | SEIA Protect Californian's Rights for Solar

Act Now | SEIA 

The utility regulators are trying to put the kibosh on and sunset the pay back period for solar.

People that bought solar panels, expecting to get credit for their solar for the life of their system, might only get paid back for 10 or even 5 years of the electricity they generate that they don't use.

This is BS. Please sign and help resist, and protect citizen rights for fair use of solar.

GREAT Quotes: IEA executive director: “We welcome a renewables target for 2030” on Environmental Expert

IEA executive director: “We welcome a renewables target for 2030” on Environmental Expert 

Great quotes: “Putin cannot turn off the wind energy tap!” And Portugal’s secretary of state for energy Artur Trindade said his country at times gets up to 90% of its power from wind energy....without an issue. What do you think happens? He asked the audience. The answer is “nothing!” No-one notices, nothing changes.

European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) president Andrew Garrad said “Putin cannot turn off the wind energy tap.” His group's new report details how wind energy can
avoid fossil fuel imports today, calling for renewable energy targets for 2030 and stressed the energy
security wind energy brings. Yes, it does. 100% renewable, clean free, local energy source no-one can turn off.

Protect us from new ozone threatening Man-Made Gases

We have to fix the exemptions and loopholes in the Montreal Protocol.

While not as damaging 'yet' as the original ozone depleting chemicals, the sources are not yet known. And obviously industry cannot be trusted to police themselves. Someone is producing them, it has harmful effects, and they need to be busted and to stop making and releasing them.

"OSLO, March 9 (Reuters) - Scientists have detected four new man-made gases that damage the Earth's protective ozone layer, despite bans on almost all production of similar gases under a 1987 treaty, a study showed on Sunday...."

Dalai Lama prays for Senate to help ‘dispel misery of the world’ | OnPolitics 

Let's hope so. Or at least help dispel their contributing to the misery of the world. Read: No Keystone XL, no Trans-Pacific Partnership, no more letting Monsanto run amuck, increasing taxes on Wall Street and decreasing our ATM withdrawl fees; Yes to raising the minimum wage, completing immigration reform, etc. etc.

Gotta love the Dalai Lama.

"Our mind is central and precedes our deeds. Speak or act with your
pure mind and happiness will follow you like a shadow that never
leaves,” the Dalai Lama said, as he translated his words into English.
“May there be joy in the world with bountiful harvest and spiritual
wealth..."

The prayer ends with a call to “dispel the misery of the world.”

Video of Rain-Soaked Great March for Climate Action - Day 1

Great Climate March Kicked OFF Yesterday!

This was the most fun I've had in awhile. 17.5 miles to walk the first leg, in really furry weather. At least 50 will walk the entire route to arrive in Washington D.C. in November 2014. Mission: "The goal of the Great March for Climate Action is to change the heart and mind of the American people, our elected leaders and people across the world to act NOW to address the climate crisis."
