In Unqabile kwaye uchithachithekile, U-Nick Buxton kunye no-Ben Hayes baqokelele uvavanyo olungapheliyo lwesidalwa esihlileyo. Incwadana yemibhalo engezantsi yile “Njani Amandla oMkhosi kunye neeNkampani baLibumba njani iHlabathi eliTshintshe ngeMozulu.” Ngamafutshane, uMlawuli oManyeneyo weMfazwe yeArhente eqondayo ngokungathandabuzekiyo uqonda umngxuma okuyo, kwaye ukonyusa izinga lokumba, ngelixa enyusa iqonga lee-PR kwi "ukumba" "njengokuzibandakanya ngamandla kumalinge aluhlaza okusisindisa okusindisa sonke ngokutyebisa ngokutyebileyo, ngokuthantamisa umhlaba, nangokwenza umhlaba ungabi nakushukuma."
Abanegalelo kule ncwadi bajongana nengcinga yokuba ukusinda kwilizwe elitshintshileyo elinokutshintsha kwemozulu akunxulumene nokusinda kwihlabathi esinalo ngoku. Ukuthintela isidingo sokuguqula ezona zonakaliso zonakalisayo ngoku, bacebisa ukuba ayisiyiyo indlela ebambekayo yokwenza izinto ezizayo. Ngapha koko, iyaziphazamisa iingxaki ezizayo. Ubunkunkqele bokulawulwa kobukapitali kunye nokulwa emkhosini ziingxaki ekufuneka ziqwalaselwe ngoku nangakumbi njengoko imeko yendalo isiwa. Imfazwe kunye nobungxowankulu beentlekele abuveliswa ziimeko zokusingqongileyo okanye zoqoqosho okanye zeembaleki. Ingxaki yemozulu inokuthi ivelise umanyano olukhulu ekuhlaleni kunye neendlela ezinokuzinza ukuba ngaba zizinto esikhetha ukuziphendula.
Ukudityaniswa komkhosi kunye nokuhlanjwa kwemikhosi kufuneka kugcinwe amandla kunye nenyaniso. Injongo yamandla ka-Wal-Mart ehlaziyiweyo isethwe ukuba ifikelelwe ngokwenene malunga ne-300 iminyaka. Imikhosi yase-US ecinga ngokuluhlaza iquka ukuhamba kwezixhobo zenyukliya ezingekho eluhlaza kunye “neendlela ezizezinye” eziphantsi kwezo zisongelayo njengokukhokelela kutyalo-mali olukhulu kwizixhobo zenyukliya. I-Exxon Mobil ngoku inayo ioyile eyongeziweyo enokuphila indawo enobuntu, kwaye i-Exxon Mobil ijolise ekufumaneni ngaphezulu. Iimfazwe zommeli zedabi elidlulileyo zibhubhise ubumbano lwentlalo ngelixa zibulala izigidi ze-20, zilimaza izigidi ze-60, kwaye zenza abantu be-15 yezigidi baba ngamakhaya. U-Rex Tillerson, omnye wababekwi "nabantu abadala" abagcina uTrump, uthe imeko zezolimo azikho ngxaki nakanye, kuba abantu banokutshintsha nje iindawo zokufuya izilimo ezahlukeneyo. Izazinzulu azivumelani naye. Ukulandela i-BP gusher kwi-Gulf yaseMexico, iinkampani zeinshurensi bezibonelela nge-inshurensi yomngcipheko ophindaphindayo, oko kuthetha ukubonelelwa kweenkonzo zolwalamano loluntu ukuthengisa umfanekiso obubuxoki kodwa okhoyo wequmrhu emva kokudalwa kwentlekele eyaziwayo.
Njengoko utshintsho lwemozulu lusenza imeko yemozulu ibe mandundu, ukutshintsha kwemozulu kudala amandla amakhulu, nto leyo ebangela utshintsho olukhulu lwemozulu, oluthi luvule izinto ezingafikelelekiyo zangaphambili zefossil, ezinokusetyenziselwa ukudala utshintsho olukhulu lwemozulu kunye nokusetyenziswa kwamandla, kunye nokungqubana kwemikhosi. ngowona msebenzisi wamandla makhulu akhoyo-umkhosi ubeka inqanaba lokusetyenziswa kwamandla eliqinisekisa ukutshintsha kwemozulu ngakumbi, nto leyo ifundiswa ngumkhosi oqhuba umkhosi njenge "sizathu" sokulwa. Ndiqinisekile ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba i-Mentally Deranged Dotard yethu kwi-Chief ayifumananga indlela yayo yokuphuma kwezi zinto zinenqwelomoya kunye ne-smartphone nokuba yayifuna, eya kuthi ilandele ukuvuma kwayo ukuba ikhona.
Inxalenye yokuphikwa kokutshintsha kwemozulu ziziphumo zokuchasana notshintsho lwemozulu. Kwaye eyona nto ilunge kakhulu ngokugcina iingxaki zingabonakali. Kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, abameli base-UK kwi-EU bacebisa ukuba ukuhlangula ababalekayo kwiMeditera kuphela kukhuthaza ababaleki ngakumbi. Endaweni yokunceda ababaleki, owona mveliso mkhulu ukhule uphuma kwiingxinano zakutsha nje zokubaleka kwiimfazwe eziqhutywa ziNtshona kwaye yimikhosi, uthango, oonogada kunye nezixhobo. Abantu bagcinwa apho baya kufela khona. Iikhamera zigcinwa apho zingaboni khona. Le yinxalenye yebali lokutshutshiswa kohlanga okwangoku e-Yemen. Elinye icandelo kukuthandabuza ukujongana nendlala okanye ubhubhane wezifo xa ziye zaveliswa yimfazwe yedrone “ephumelelayo” kunye nemfazwe ebanzi ngentsebenziswano ethandekayo nobukumkani obunobuhlobo. Kwaye ukuba Ingxaki yingxaki enkulu yezorhwebo yeoyile enkulu eyenzekayo phakathi kwamalungu afumileyo osisigxina e-UN “Security” Council ye-UN kunye noozwilakhe abazizityebi ngeoyile.
Elinye icandelo lokuphika kwemozulu, elityalwe kakhulu ngabantu abafanayo ekubandezelweni kwimozulu, kukuqikelela ukuba utshintsho lwemozulu (ngoku evunyiweyo njengokwenyani) lunokusonjululwa ngobuhlanya obunje ngokugcwalisa isibhakabhaka nge-asidi yesibabule. Kuba izazinzulu zeHarvard ezityala obu buhlakani “be-geo-engineering” azizange zizame kwiiplanethi ezininzi ezingafezekanga, uninzi lwenzululwazi olungachazwanga lucebisa ukuba kububulumko kakhulu ukuba singazami ukuzijonga, kodwa endaweni yoko sithintele uvavanyo lobunjineli be-geo -Nokujolisa ekunciphiseni ukutshatyalaliswa okuqhubekayo kwemozulu.
Kutheni le nto singazive ezi zinto ziphikisayo? Nantsi inxenye yempendulo. Ulondolozo lweNdalo luluhlu lomkhosi wase-US "njengeQabane ekuLondolozeni." IBhunga lezoKhuselo lweziXhobo zeSizwe "liqabane" kwezomkhosi. I-Conservation International inceda abathengisi bezinto eziluhlaza eluhlaza, kwaye yabhengezwa ziintatheli bezazisa njengabameli bakaLokheed Martin owacela ngokungagungqiyo kwikhava yokuzibhubhisa. Igqiza laseSierra liphulukene nomzamo wobumbano endiyinxalenye yawo xa yafumanisa ukuba umbutho obandakanyeka kumlo ochasene nokubulawa kuka-drone. Xa ndacela abameli bemibutho yendalo esingqongileyo ukuba bathathe inxaxheba kwinkomfa kwinyanga ephelileyo malunga nemfazwe kunye nokusingqongileyo, iGreenpeace yandinika ukwala ngokupheleleyo okungekho ngqiqweni, ngelixa i-350.org yavuma ukuba isayine, emva koko yaphuma, emva koko yavuma ukuza, emva koko yabizwa ukuba iyagula .
