Na John McGrath, Ke kuhihewa, Nowemapa 8, 2021
ʻOiai ʻaʻole ʻae nā alakaʻi o ka honua i ka hoʻololi kūpono ma COP26, ua lilo ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Glasgow i wahi o nā kūʻē a me nā hahau, hōʻike ʻo John McGrath.
Ua ʻike ʻia ke kakahiaka anuanu a me ke anuanu o Nowemapa 4 i nā limahana GMB bin ma Glasgow e hoʻomau ana i kā lākou hoʻopaʻapaʻa no ka uku ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a me nā kūlana hana. Ua hoʻomaka lākou i kā lākou hana i kēlā me kēia lā ma 7 am ma Anderson Center Depot ma ke alanui Argyle.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ray Robertson, ka mea hana bin lōʻihi me ka ʻakaʻaka, "Ua ʻelemakule wau no ka hele ʻana ma ʻaneʻi." Ua hui pū ʻia ʻo Robertson e nā hoa hana he ʻumikūmālua e hoʻolālā nei e hoʻolilo i ka lā picketing ma ke alahele. "Ke ʻimi nei mākou i ke ʻano o kā mākou mālama ʻia ʻana no nā makahiki he 15-20 i hala iho nei," wahi āna.
"ʻAʻohe mea hoʻopukapuka, ʻaʻohe ʻoihana, ʻaʻohe kaʻa hou - ʻaʻohe mea e pono ai nā kāne. He 50 mau kanaka e hana ana i keia depot, i keia manawa he 10-15 paha. ʻAʻole lākou e pani i kekahi a i kēia manawa ke hana nei nā sweepers i ʻekolu manawa i ka hana. ʻO mākou nā kāne bin uku haʻahaʻa loa ma Scotland. mau. A i nā makahiki ʻelua i hala iho nei, ua hoʻohana lākou iā Covid ma ke ʻano he kumu. 'ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke hana i kēia manawa ma muli o Covid' wahi a lākou. Akā ʻoi aku ka waiwai o nā pōpoki momona, a ʻaʻohe mea e manaʻo i ka poʻe hana pahu.
Ke hoʻomau nei i ke komohana ma ke alanui ʻo Argyle, e lilo i alanui Stabcross, ua pani ʻia ke alanui i nā kaʻa i kēia pule. He 10 kapuaʻi ka pā kila e hoʻoikaika i ke alanui a me nā pūʻulu o nā mākaʻi semi-militarized i ʻaʻahu ʻia i nā ʻaʻahu melemele fluorescent a me nā puʻupuʻu ʻeleʻele i hui pū ʻia i ʻeono i waenakonu o ke kahua. Me he mea lā, ʻaʻole haʻalele ka mākaʻi o Glasgow i kekahi mea.
Ma lalo o ke ala, ʻo ka Scottish Event Campus (SEC), kahi e kamaʻilio ʻia ai nā kamaʻilio, hiki ke kiʻi wale ʻia me nā ala kūikawā. Ke hele nei kahi huakaʻi o nā ʻoihana ʻoihana a me nā luna aupuni mai nā wahi a puni o ka honua i nā ʻīpuka palekana e hoʻomālamalama ana i kā lākou hōʻoia.
Ma waho o nā ʻīpuka, ʻākoakoa ka poʻe kūʻē a hōʻikeʻike, ʻoiai ʻaʻole i ka nui o nā helu. Noho ʻia kahi hui o nā mea hoʻolaha XR e ʻike ʻia e kiaʻi. Ma hope o lākou he pūʻulu o nā haumāna ʻōpio e pili ana me Fridays for the Future i huakaʻi mai Iapana. ʻEiwa o lākou a hāʻawi lākou i ka megaphone i kekahi manawa ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania, i kekahi manawa ma ka ʻōlelo Kepanī.
"ʻO ka ʻehā o ka lā o COP26 a ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike i kekahi mea kūpono. Ua loaʻa i nā ʻāina kūkulu. ʻAʻole lākou e hana i kekahi mea. ʻO nā ʻāina e ulu nei ka pilikia ma muli o ko lākou manaʻo ʻole. ʻO ka manawa kēia e koi ai mākou i ka poʻe nona ka mana - Iapana, ʻAmelika, UK - e piʻi i luna a hana i kekahi mea. ʻO ka manawa kēia no ka poʻe mana e uku i nā uku no ka luku a me ka hoʻohana ʻana a lākou i hana ai a puni ka honua.
He mau manawa ma hope mai ua puka mai kahi pūʻulu o nā mea hana US me kahi hae 30-foot e heluhelu ana: "No New Federal Fossil Fuels". He hui hui pū ʻia lākou me ka liʻiliʻi o nā hui like like ʻole i nā mokuʻāina ʻo ʻAmelika ʻAmelika ʻo Texas a me Louisiana. Kāhea ka poʻe kūʻē i kēia ʻāpana o ka ʻāina ʻo "ka wahi ʻālana" a kuhikuhi i nā ʻino hou a me ka nāwaliwali o nā kaiāulu ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele e noho ana i loko o nā malu o nā mea hoʻolaʻa aila. I kēia makahiki ua ʻike ʻia kahi ʻino ʻino i lawe mai i 5 kapuaʻi o ka ua i Port Arthur, Louisiana. “Ke piʻi nei ke kai a pēlā pū mākou!” oli like lakou.
Ke kūʻē nei lākou i ka haʻalele ʻana o Joe Biden a me kona nele i ke alakaʻi. Ua hōʻea ʻo Biden i Glasgow me ka lima ʻole a ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke kiʻi i kāna bila Build Back Better i koho ʻia ma o ka ʻaha kūkā ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka hapa nui o nā ʻano mea ʻona e nā conservatives i kāna hui ponoʻī. E like me Boris Johnson, ua hōʻole pinepine ʻo Biden i ka pāpā ʻana i ka fracking.
ʻO kekahi o ka poʻe kūʻē US e paʻa ana i ka hae ʻo Miguel Esroto, he mea kākoʻo ma ke komohana o Texas me kahi hui i kapa ʻia ʻo Earthworks. Hoʻopili ʻia ʻo ia i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻaila ma kona mokuʻāina. Ke hoʻonui nei ka hoʻokele ʻo Biden i ka hana ʻaila ma ka Permian Basin, kahi e uhi ai i 86,000 mau mile square ma ka palena ʻo Texas-New Mexico a he 4 miliona mau pahu kinoea i puhi ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā.
Hōʻike ʻo Esroto ua ʻae ka hoʻokele Biden i ka hoʻolimalima ʻana i nā hoʻolimalima hou ma ka ʻāina ma kahi ʻoi aku ma mua o kāna mea mua, ʻo Donald Trump. Ua ʻae ke Keʻena Kalaiaina o ʻAmelika ma kahi o 2,500 mau ʻae e wili i nā ʻāina ākea a me nā ʻāina i nā mahina 6 mua o 2021.
ʻOiai ma Glasgow, ua lawe ʻo Biden i ka manawa e haʻalele ai i ka hiki ʻole o ke aupuni US ke hoʻolauna i ke kānāwai aniau ma ka hoʻouka ʻana iā Kina, ka mea i hele kokoke i ka ʻaha kūkā, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua hana ʻo Pelekikena Xi Jinping i "hewa nui". Hōʻike kāna mau ʻōlelo i ke ʻano o ka poʻe kālai'āina o ʻAmelika a me ʻEulopa a me nā mea hoʻolaha o ke Komohana e kau i ke kuleana hope loa no ka lanakila ʻana i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau ma Kina.
“He mea hoohihia ia!” counters Esroto. "Inā makemake mākou e kuhikuhi i nā manamana lima, pono mākou e hoʻomaka me ka Permian Basin. Ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana i ka huhū ma nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe, pono nā kamaʻāina ʻAmelika e nānā i kahi e loaʻa ai iā mākou ka mana, kahi e hiki ai iā mākou ke hāʻawi. Hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaka i ke kuhikuhi manamana lima inā ʻaʻole mākou e hana i kēia pae kiʻekiʻe o ka hana ʻaila a me ke kinoea. Loaʻa iā mākou kahi misionari maopopo: hoʻololi i ka ikehu hou, hoʻopau i ka hana ʻaila a me ke kinoea a pale i ko mākou mau kaiāulu mai ka ʻoihana wahie fossil. Pono mākou e paʻa i kēlā!"
ʻO ka mōʻaukala, ua hoʻopuka ʻo US i ʻelua mau manawa i ka nui o ka CO2 e like me Kina me ka liʻiliʻi o ka heluna kanaka. ʻO ka US ke kuleana no ka 25% o nā hoʻokuʻu CO2 honua i hui pū ʻia.
I ke awakea, ma kahi o 200 ka poʻe e hui pū me ka poʻe nūpepa a me kahi hui kīwī kokoke i nā ʻanuʻu o ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike Aliʻi ʻo Glasgow e hoʻolohe i nā mea hoʻolaha kūʻē kaua: Stop the War Coalition, Veterans for Peace, World Beyond War, CODEPINK a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka hele ʻana i ka hanana ka mea alakaʻi mua o ka Scottish Labor Party, ʻo Richard Leonard.
ʻO Sheila J Babauta, he ʻelele i koho ʻia mai nā mokupuni ʻo Mariana i hoʻomalu ʻia e ʻAmelika, e kamaʻilio ana i ka lehulehu,
"Ua hele au ma kahi o 20,000 mau mile e hiki ai ma ʻaneʻi ma Scotland. Ma koʻu ʻāina hānau, loaʻa iā mākou kekahi o kā mākou Mokupuni i hoʻohana wale ʻia no nā hana kaua a me nā kumu aʻo. ʻAʻole hiki i ko mākou poʻe kamaʻāina ke komo i kēia mokupuni no kahi kokoke i 100 makahiki. Ua ʻawaʻawa ka pūʻali koa i ko mākou wai a ua pepehi i kā mākou mau holoholona moana a me nā holoholona hihiu.
Ua wehewehe ʻo Babauta i ka lehulehu ua haʻalele nā mokulele i hoʻolei i nā pōkā atomika ma Hiroshima a me Nagasaki mai nā mokupuni ʻo Marina. “Pēlā ka pilina o nā mokupuni i ka pūʻali koa US. ʻO ka manawa kēia e decarbonise! ʻO ka manawa kēia e decolonise! A ʻo ka manawa kēia e hoʻokaʻawale ai!
Hoʻonaʻauao ʻo Stuart Parkinson of Scientists for Global Responsibility i ka lehulehu i ka nui o ka wāwae kalapona pūʻali koa. Wahi a ka noiʻi ʻana o Parkinson, i ka makahiki i hala ua hoʻokuʻu ka pūʻali koa UK i 11 miliona tons o CO2, ʻo ia ka mea like me ka pau ʻana o 6 miliona mau kaʻa. ʻO ka US, ka mea i loaʻa i nā kapuaʻi kalapona pūʻali koa nui loa, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma kahi o 20 mau manawa i ka makahiki i hala. ʻO ka hana pūʻali koa e pili ana i ka 5% o nā hoʻokuʻu honua a ʻaʻole ia e pili i nā hopena o ke kaua (ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana i ka ulu lāʻau, ke kūkulu hou ʻana i nā kūlanakauhale i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ke aniani a me ke aniani, a pēlā aku).
E like me ka mea e pili ana, kuhikuhi ʻo Parkinson i ka lawe ʻole ʻana o ke kālā no ia mau papahana:
"Ma ka waihona kālā o ke aupuni UK i kekahi mau lā i hala aku nei, ua hoʻokaʻawale lākou ma mua o 7 mau manawa hou aku i ka pūʻali koa e like me kā lākou i hana ai i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hoʻoiho kalapona ma ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa."
Ke nīnau nei kēia i ka nīnau he aha ka mea a mākou e kūkulu nei ke "kūkulu hou i ka maikaʻi"?
Hoʻokahi hola ma hope mai, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o kēia nīnau e David Boys ma ka COP26 Coalition i kēlā me kēia pō ma Adelaide Place Baptist Church ma ke alanui ʻo Bath. ʻO Boys ka Hope Kakauolelo Nui o ka hui kalepa Public Services International (PSI). Ua hui ka COP26 Coalition i kēlā me kēia pō mai ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ka ʻaha kūkā a ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hanana o ka pō Poaha i ka hana o nā uniona kālepa i ka pale ʻana i ka pōʻino o ke aniau.
“ʻO wai ka mea i lohe e pili ana i Build Back Better?” Nīnau nā keikikāne i ka lehulehu i piha i ka hale pule. “Lohe kekahi no ia mea? ʻAʻole mākou makemake e mālama i nā mea i loaʻa iā mākou. ʻO ka mea i loaʻa iā mākou he pōʻino. Pono mākou e kūkulu i kahi mea hou!"
Hoʻopuka hou ka poʻe haʻiʻōlelo o ka pō Poʻa i ka huaʻōlelo “he hoʻololi pono”. Hoʻomaikaʻi kekahi i ka huaʻōlelo iā Tony Mazzochi i make o ka Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers International Union, ʻo kekahi e hoʻāʻo e hoʻoponopono hou iā ia, e kapa ʻia he "hoʻololi hoʻoponopono". Wahi a Boys,
"Ke haʻi aku ʻoe i kekahi ua hoʻoweliweli ʻia kāu hana a ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hānai i kou ʻohana, ʻaʻole ia ka ʻōlelo maikaʻi loa. Pono kēlā poʻe i kā mākou kōkua no ka mea ʻaʻole maʻalahi kēia hoʻololi. Pono mākou e ho'ōki i ka ʻai ʻana, pono mākou e hoʻōki i ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mea ʻaʻole pono mākou no ka Pentagon, pono mākou e hoʻololi i kā mākou hana. Akā ʻo ka mea e pono ai mākou he lawelawe aupuni ikaika, hoʻomaka ma ka home a hoʻoneʻe. "
ʻO ka poʻe unionists mai Scotland, ʻAmelika ʻAmelika, a me Uganda e pili ana i ka lehulehu i ke koʻikoʻi o ka democratizing i ka hoʻokele waiwai a me ke koi ʻana i ka lehulehu o kā lākou lawe ʻana a me nā pono hana.
Ke hoʻolālā nei ʻo Scotland i kēia manawa e hoʻonui i ka nui o nā kaʻa i loaʻa i ka lehulehu a ua ʻike ka ʻāina i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka freak-out i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ke kūkākūkā ʻana i nā alahao. Ua hoʻopōʻino ka wā neoliberal i nā lāhui a puni ka honua me ka nui o ka privatization o nā waiwai aupuni. Wahi a Boys, he mea paʻakikī loa ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka ikehu:
"Ke komo nei mākou i ka hoʻōki ʻana i ka privatization ikehu, neʻe ka pūʻali koa. Ke hoʻoweliweli mākou e hoʻōki i ka privatization, a mākou i hana ai i kēia manawa ma Nigeria, hele mai ka pūʻali koa a hopu paha i nā alakaʻi uniona a pepehi paha i nā alakaʻi uniona, a hoʻōki i ke anuanu. Lawe ʻo ia i nā ʻoihana ikehu a hana i kāna makemake. A he hōʻailona wale nō kēlā, ʻano, o ka mea e hana nei me ka ikehu. No ka mea, ʻike mākou ʻo ia ka aila nui, a me ke kinoea nui, a me ka lanahu nui i hoʻolilo i nā piliona i nā makahiki he 30 i hala e kākoʻo i ka hōʻole ʻana i ke aniau a mālama i ke kūlana quo.
"ʻO ka ʻōnaehana i loaʻa iā mākou i kēia manawa e ka WTO, World Bank, IMF, a me ka pūʻali koa-ʻoihana. Ma ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i ko mākou wahi e noho ai mākou e kūkulu ai i kahi neʻe nui e hiki ai ke hoʻōki i ka mea i kēia manawa ʻoihana globalization e holo ʻia nei e kahi liʻiliʻi o nā multinationals".
ʻO ka hui honua a me nā multinational? ʻAʻole anei nā alakaʻi o ka honua e hoʻoholo a kāhea i nā pana? Mai nīnau iā lākou. Ua haʻalele lākou iā Glasgow no ka hapa nui. Ma ka Pōʻalima, hele pū nā haumāna o Glasgow me Greta Thunberg me nā limahana hana pahu. ʻO ka Pōʻaono, Nowemapa 6 ka lā o ka hana a me ka manaʻolana, ikaika ka poʻe koho ma ʻaneʻi a ma UK.
ʻO ke mele e pani ana i ke anaina ma ka hale pule i ka pō Poʻahā, ʻo ia ke mele "ʻO ka lāhui, lokahi, ʻaʻole e pio!" ʻAʻohe hopena ʻē aʻe.
