New Report: Who prevents the climate treaty?

January 27, 2012 admin Thoughts

From 28 November to 9 December 2011 will take place in Durban, South Africa, the 17th International climate conference There is a network of industries, which earn billions of fossil fuels. This network is investing in the prevention of ambitious climate protection targets in key countries and the UN process is blocked! In the financial sector, we have already seen more than clear how the government led by the nose ring on the banks by the financial crisis.Now playing on very similar in climate protection.

Five days before the start of the ground-breaking climate talks in Durban, South Africa, Greenpeace today released a new report: “Who is holding us back? How carbon-intensive industry is preventing effective climate legislation “. The report exposed the lobbying network that keeps especially the historically largest polluters, the U.S., from a climate protection agreement.

The strategy of the oil-and coal-industry network

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development is aggressively the interests of those companies which harm billions of people by preventing ambitious climate protection goals. Strategically set at the WBCSD and the industry lobbyists in Japan, Canada, Australia, the EU and especially in the United States. Except for the U.S., these countries include all of the first Kyoto Protocol Parties had to implement by ratifying first mandatory national reduction targets. Kyoto tilts need, the petroleum industry and the coal-power industry is no longer afraid of limitations. That is their strategic goal for Durban. And this must be prevented! Because if Obama would be used for binding climate protection laws that need to globally operating oil and coal companies are afraid clear limitations.

BASF

forefront of preventing climate change

BASF is one of the companies that veil in public with very tricky constructions, that they are working actively in the back around his absence. 61 500 U.S. dollar has given BASF in the midterm elections in 2010 in the United States to those candidates who did not want a climate bill in the U.S.. This is an outrage!
The companies are working very tricky. Industry associations and so-called, think tanks organize 'lobbying strategies and pseudo-facts. Public campaigns to discredit the climate research complement this. Company representatives are always at times been back on government positions and then change after a few years in the industry.

The institutions of the United States by a powerful lobbying network levered

In recent years, and it is mainly the U.S., Royal Dutch Shell, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Edison Electric Institute, PG & E, Southern Company, ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP and ConocoPhillips, which is all under the have made top 20 lobbying groups in the United States. Between 2003 and 2008 the number of lobbyists against the climate in the U.S. has tripled! As the company is operating in other industrialized countries in the report displayed very clearly.

prevent damage of the people

90 percent of the people demand a more rigorous climate. How long can the European governments still keep this industry through a network of ambitious climate change target? How long can Obama and the U.S. Congress of Deputies and the Senate nor of Shell, Koch & Co put under pressure? Subsidies in the billions of dollars flow from governments in the fossil industries! How long will we let this crime against nature and humanity have fallen? In Durban, must be the influence of climate on the Government concluded sinners. Under German Basic Law is the Chancellor of damage committed by the German people to hold. The increased frequency of extreme weather caused by climate change are those damages. Throughout the Constitution there is no article in the state of the global climate protection is required. With the latter must by now be concluded in Durban

Throughout the Basic Law, there is no article in which the protection of environmentally harmful industries is required before consistent climate protection measures. With the latter must by now be concluded in Durban

In the parliamentary debate today has analyzed the Chancellor, that the Kyoto Protocol in Durban will probably not be extended. From an air-Chancellor, I expect more because: What do you want to do personally for an extension of the Kyoto Protocol in Durban, Ms Merkel
