I-Charlottesville Divests ezivela kwiZixhobo kunye neeFossil Fuels

World BEYOND War -Juni 3, 2019

Ngobusuku kaJuni 3, i-2019, iBhunga leSixeko laseCharlottesville, Va., Livotele ukuhlula imali kwi-budget yayo yokusebenza kubathengisi beempahla kunye nabakhiqizi bezinto ezimbi. Nantsi isisombululo njengoko sidluliselwe yiBhunga leSixeko: PDF. Isixeko sele senze isinyathelo esifanayo kunye nekhredithi yomhlala-phantsi ngeli lizayo ekwindla.

Isiphakamiso sokwenza oku saziswa kwisixeko ngo-Matshi ngumbutho wamaqela obizwa ngokuba yi-Divest Cville, eya kwiintlanganiso zebhunga zedolophu (khangela iividiyo), egcinwe nganiso, wabhala iileta, zenziwe iiflaya, zathenga iintengiso, zenziwe iimpendulo kwizichaso ezinokwenzeka, wadibana noNondyebo weSixeko, waza wabonisa isikhalazo.

UDavid Swanson, uMlawuli oLawulayo World BEYOND War, enye yemibutho ebandakanyekayo, yathi ukudibanisa izixhobo kunye neentsimbi zezinto ezimbiweyo kwakungekho nje umcimbi wokubeka uluhlu lwezityalo ezimbi kakhulu, kodwa isinyathelo esithathwe ngokuzithandela ukugqamisa uxhulumaniso phakathi kwamashishini amabini.

Iinjongo eziphambili emva kweemfazwe kukuba umnqweno wokulawula izixhobo ezisetyha umhlaba, ingakumbi ioli kunye negesi. Enyanisweni, ukuqaliswa kweemfazwe ngeentlanga ezicebileyo kumahlwempu akuhambelani nokuphulwa kwamalungelo oluntu okanye ukungabikho kwentando yesininzi okanye ukusongelwa kobugqugquzela, kodwa luhambelana ngokuthe ngqo ubukho beoli.

I-Cest Divest yenza le meko elandelayo:

Iinkampani zezixhobo zase-US supply izixhobo ezibulalayo kubuzwilakhe obunobundlobongela kwihlabathi liphela, kwaye iinkampani uCharlottesville kungoku nje inemali yoluntu etyalwe ku-Boeing nase-Honeywell, abangababoneleli abakhulu bemfazwe eyoyikisayo yase-Saudi Arabia kubantu base-Yemen.

Ulawulo lolawulo lwangoku luye lwachazela utshintsho lwemozulu, lugqithiselwa ukuhoxisa i-US kummandla wemozulu wehlabathi, uzame ukukhusela isayensi yemozulu, kwaye yasebenza ukuqinisa umveliso kunye nokusetyenziswa kwamafutha afudumeleyo okufudumeza ukufudumala, ngaloo ndlela umthwalo owela kwisixeko , urhulumente, urhulumente kunye noorhulumente baseburhulumenteni ukuba bathathe inkokheli yemozulu ngenxa yobomi bemihlali kunye nempilo yeemeko zendawo neendawo.

I-Militarism yintloko negalelo kutshintsho lwemozulu, kwaye iSixeko saseCharlottesville sele sisekho bongozwa I-Congress ye-US ukutyalombela ngaphantsi kwezempi kunye nokunye ekukhuseleni iimfuno zabantu kunye nezendalo.

Ukuqhubela phambili kwikhosi yangoku yenguqu yemozulu kuya kubangela ukunyuka kwamaqondo okushisa kwe-4.5ºF ngo-2050, kwaye indleko yoqoqosho lwehlabathi I $ 32 iidola ezigidi.

Umlinganiselo weminyaka emihlanu yeqondo lokushisa eVirginia yaqala ngokubaluleka kunye nokuzinzileyo Nyusa kwi-1970 yokuqala, ephakama ukusuka kwi-54.6 degrees Fahrenheit ize ifike kwii-56.2 degrees F kwi-2012, kwaye indawo yasePiedmont ibone ukunyuka kwamaqondo okuphakama kwizinga le-0.53 kwiiyure ezili-10 ngamnye, apho izinga laseVirginia liya kutshisa njengeSouth Carolina ngo-2050 kunye nakwiNorth Florida nge2100;

Abezoqoqosho kwiYunivesithi yaseMassachusetts eAmherst ziweyo ukuba imali yenkcitho yemali yinkqubo yezoqoqosho kunokuba iprogram yokudala imisebenzi, kwaye utyalo-mali kwamanye amacandelo luncedo.

Ukufunda ngeSatellite bonisa iitafile zamanzi ziyehla kwihlabathi liphela, kwaye ngaphezulu kwesithili esinye kwezintathu e-United States zinokujongana nomngcipheko "ophezulu" okanye "ogqithileyo" wokunqongophala kwamanzi ngenxa yotshintsho lwemozulu phakathi kwinkulungwane yama-21, ngelixa isixhenxe kwishumi Izibalo ezingama-3,100 zinokujongana nomngcipheko "wokunye" wokunqongophala kwamanzi amatsha.

Iimfazwe zivame ukulwa nezixhobo ezenziwe nge-US ezisetyenziswe ngamacala amabini. Imizekelo ibandakanya iimfazwe zase-US Siriya, Irakh, Libhiya, i Iran-Iraq imfazwe, i WaseMexico imfazwe yezilwanyana, KweMfazwe Yehlabathi II, nabanye abaninzi.

Amaza ashushu ngoku unobangela Ukufa okungakumbi eUnited States kunezinye iindwendwe zemozulu (iziphepho, izikhukula, umbane, i-blizzards, i-tornados, njl.) zidibanisene, kwaye ngokugqithiseleyo ngaphezu kwazo zonke ukufa kwabantu besigebengu. Abantu abalinganiselwa ku-150 eUnited States baya kufa ngenxa yokushisa okukhulu kwimihla yonke yentsasa ngo-2040, kunye nokufa kwe-30,000 echaphazelekayo ngonyaka.

Urhulumente wengingqi utyalomali kwiinkampani ezivelisa izixhobo zemfazwe zixhasa ngokupheleleyo inkcitho yemfazwe yombutho kwiinkampani ezifanayo, ezininzi zazo zixhomekeke kuburhulumente karhulumente njengomthengi wabo oyintloko.

Phakathi kwe-1948 kunye ne-2006 "iziganeko ezinqabileyo ezinqabileyo" zanda i-25% eVirginia, neempembelelo ezingalunganga kwezolimo, umgangatho oqikelelweyo wokuqhubeka, kunye neqondo lokulwandle jikelele kuvuka umyinge ubuncinane ubuncinane beenyawo ngasekupheleni kwekhulu, kunye Kuvuka ecaleni kolwandle lwaseVirginia phakathi kwezona zikhawulezileyo kwihlabathi.

Iikhampani zeArms ezinokuthi uCharlottesville angazibophelela ekutyala imali ekuveliseni izixhobo ezilethwe eCharlottesville ngo-Agasti 2017.

Ukukhutshwa kwamatye e-fossil kufuneka kukhutshwe ngu-45% nge-2030 kwaye ku-zero yi-2050 ukuze ukubamba ukufudumala kwi-2.7 ºF (1.5 ºC) ekujoliswe kuyo kwisivumelwano seParis.

Ukutshintsha kwemozulu kuyingozi enkulu kwimpilo, ukhuseleko kunye nenhlalakahle yabantu baseCharlottesville, kunye ne-American Academy ye-Pediatrics iye yaxwayisa ukuba utshintsho lwemozulu lubeka ingozi kwimpilo yabantu nokhuseleko, kunye nabantwana abasengozini, iifowuni Ukusilela ukuthatha "inyathelo elikhawulezileyo, elithathayo" isenzo sokungekho sikweni kubo bonke abantwana.

Isantya sokudubula kwamanzi eMelika sisona sikhulu kunazo zonke kwilizwe eliphuhlisiweyo, njengabavelisi bombundu abaqhubekayo ukufumana inzuzo enkulu kwigazi elingafuneki ukutyalula idola likawonkewonke.
