Izinhlangano Ezingama-500 Ziphakamisa Isixazululo Esingaqondakali Sesimo Sezulu

NguDavid Swanson, World BEYOND War, Okthoba 27, 2021

Ngesenzo esimangalisayo somlingo we-epistemic, izinhlangano zezemvelo nokuthula ezingama-500 kanye nabantu abacishe babe ngu-25,000 bagunyaze isicelo ezokwethulwa engqungqutheleni yesimo sezulu ye-COP26 - isicelo esihlongoza isixazululo esingangeza ngendlela emangalisayo emizamweni yokuvikela isimo sezulu soMhlaba, kodwa isisombululo esingenakwenzeka kumalungu amaningi omhlaba. homo sapiens izinhlobo ukuze wazi.

Lokhu kubonakala kuyisimangalo esiyinqaba, kodwa sihlolwe ngokuqinile kunesikhungo samandla enuzi, inkulumo ka-Colin Powell, noma u-96% wezithembiso zomkhankaso wokhetho. Izithombe ezilandelayo zenza umbukiso wamaslayidi engiwethule kuma-webinars amaningi kunalokho engingakwazi ukubala - futhi cishe eziningi ngendlela engingakwazi ukuhlala ngiphapheme ngayo. Kokunye, kutholakala okufanayo: akekho owake wayazi ngale nkinga.

Inkinga wukungafakwa kwamasosha ezivumelwaneni zesimo sezulu. Ngiqala ngokubeka lokhu kumongo wezinto eziningi amasosha akhishiwe kuzo:

Bese ngikhombisa abantu isicelo:

Ngize ngibeke ukucekelwa phansi kwesimo sezulu kwamasosha esimweni ukucekelwa phansi kwemvelo jikelele yamasosha:

Impi namalungiselelo empi akuyona nje umgodi lapho izigidigidi zamaRandi ezingase zisetshenziselwe ukuvimbela ukulimala kwemvelo zilahlwa, futhi indlela yokuvimbela ukubambisana okudingekayo, kodwa futhi imbangela enkulu eqondile yalokho kulimala kwemvelo.

Iningi lezingosi ze-“Superfund” e-US ngezamanje noma zangaphambili ezihlobene nezempi, izingosi ezikhethwe yi-US Environmental Protection Agency lapho imfucuza eyingozi kakhulu isongela impilo yabantu kanye nemvelo.

Amasosha ase-US aphakathi kwabangcolisi abathathu abakhulu bemizila yamanzi yase-US. Ilahle ubuthi obungamakhilogremu angu-63,335,653 emigwaqeni yamanzi kusukela ngo-2010-2014, okuhlanganisa amakhemikhali e-carcinogenic nama-radioactive, uphethiloli we-rocket, kanye nendle enobuthi.

Izikhali ezibulalayo kakhulu ezishiywe yimpi amabhomu agqitshwayo namabhomu ahlangene. Umbiko ka-1993 woMnyango Wezifundazwe wase-United States wabiza amabhomu agqitshwayo “mhlawumbe ukungcola okunobuthi nokusakazeke kakhulu okubhekene nesintu.” Izigidi zamahektha eYurophu, eNyakatho Afrika, nase-Asia zivinjelwe ngenxa yamashumi ezigidi zamabhomu agqitshwayo namabhomu ayiqoqo ashiywe yimpi.

Phakathi kuka-2001 no-2019, amasosha ase-US kukhishwe Amathani ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1.2 zamagesi abamba ukushisa, cishe lokho okukhishwa yizo zonke izimoto e-US ngonyaka.

UMnyango Wezokuvikela WaseMelika ungumthengi omkhulu kawoyela wesikhungo ($17B/ngonyaka) emhlabeni, futhi ungowomhlaba omkhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni. umnikazi womhlaba enezisekelo zamasosha angaphandle angama-800 emazweni angama-80. Amasosha ase-US asebenzisa i-petroleum eningi kunezizwe eziningi.

Ngokwesilinganiso esithile, amasosha ase-US esetshenziswa Imiphongolo yama-1.2 yezigidi zamafutha e-Iraq ngenyanga eyodwa ye-2008. Okunye ukulinganiselwa kwamasosha e-2003 ukuthi izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zokusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli wase-US Army kwenzeke ezimotweni ezaziletha uphethiloli enkundleni yempi.

Ngaphezu kwezingxenye ezintathu kwezine zokusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli kwezempi yase-US okwezindiza nezindiza ezinophephela emhlane; ingxenye engaphezu kwengxenye ingeyoMbutho Wasemoyeni. Indiza yebhomu engu-B-52 endizayo ihora elingu-1 ikhipha amagesi abamba ukushisa njengoba kwenza umshayeli wemoto ovamile eminyakeni engu-7.

Amaphesenti angaba ngu-30 kuye kwangama-40 okukhishwa kwegesi ebamba ukushisa yezempi yase-US ihlobene nezisekelo zayo, lapho inokunikezwa okukhulu futhi okuyinhlekelele.

Isithombe esingenhla sikopishwe ku-Stuart Parkinson of Scientists for Global Responsibility. Ngimbuzile ukuthi kungani ohulumeni bengalusukumeli lolu daba, wangiphendula ngokuthi bamatasatasa nezinhlaka ezingezona ezomphakathi, impendulo egeja umbuzo wokuthi kungani lolu daba kufanele luhlukaniswe ngalezo zindawo ezimbili njengoba sineplanethi eyodwa kuphela. .

Nakhu isizindalwazi sezinsiza kulokhu kanye nezihloko eziningi.

Umbiko we-Pentagon okhishwe ngo-2018 uchaza kabanzi ubuthi bamakhemikhali emanzini ezisekelweni zamasosha nasemiphakathini ezungezile emhlabeni jikelele. Lo mbiko ukhomba ukuba khona kwamakhemikhali e-PFOS ne-PFOA emanzini okuphuza emazingeni aziwa ukuthi ayingozi empilweni yabantu futhi axhumene nomdlavuza kanye nokukhubazeka kokuzalwa. Okungenani izisekelo ezingama-401 zaziwa ngokuthi zinamanzi angcolile. Amakhemikhali e-PFOA kanye ne-PFOS asetshenziswa ezintweni ezivimbela umlilo ngesikhathi sokuqeqeshwa komlilo okujwayelekile ezisekelweni zamasosha ase-US emhlabeni jikelele.

Nakhu umzamo wokudala ukuqwashisa ngomlingo.

Ukuhlangana kwemigwaqo!

Ukuphatha inkinga njengekhambi layo ngeke kusisindise.

Khona-ke kukhona enye inkinga.

Ngasekuqaleni konyaka, uMongameli waseMelika uBiden uhlongoze ukusebenzisa imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-1.2 ekusizeni isimo sezulu emazweni ampofu. Ngo-2019, ngokusho USAID, uhulumeni wase-US unikeze amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-33 zosizo lwezomnotho kanye namaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-14 kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi “usizo” lwezempi. Izinto ezingeyona into etheni ekusatshalalisweni kwalokhu kuphangwa kubandakanya amalungelo abantu besifazane kanye nokuziphatha kwemvelo.

Biden futhi ehlongozwayo ukuze uhulumeni wase-US asebenzise ama- $ 14 billion kusimo sezulu, okuqhathanisa okungathandeki neze $ 20 billion ihambisa minyaka yonke kwizinsizakusebenza zikaphethiloli, kungabalwa uxhaso lwemfuyo, ungalokothi ukhathalele imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama- $ 1,250 uhulumeni wase-US uyachitha unyaka nonyaka ngezimpi nokulungiselela impi.

Esinye isiqhathaniso ongeke usibone kumabonakude wakho ukuthi phakathi kwezikweletu ezimbili ezinkulu kakhulu zokusebenzisa imali emlandweni waphakade, i-Infrastructure Extravaganza kanye noMthethosivivinywa weBuild Back Better Reconciliation Bill, obuzosebenzisa imali ehlangene yamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-450 ngonyaka (noma obungayithola ngaphambili. ngokugetshengwa), uma kuqhathaniswa naleyo $1,250 billion ngonyaka ngezempi.

UMongameli uphinde wathi ufuna ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi e-US ngamaphesenti angama-50 kuye kwangama-52 ngonyaka ka-2030. Lokho kuzwakala kuncono kakhulu kunalutho, akunjalo? Kodwa i ukuphrinta okuhle ayitholakali emithonjeni yezindaba yase-US imibiko kubandakanya nokuthi empeleni usho ukwehlisa amazinga ka-2005 ngamaphesenti angama-50 kuye kwangama-52 ngonyaka ka-2030. Futhi umbhalo oshodayo izishoshovu zezemvelo ezikwaziyo kusukela kokuhlangenwe nakho kwangaphambilini ukuze uphikise kufaka phakathi izinqubo ezinobuthi ezinjengalezi ezingabaliwe ekubalweni noma yikuphi ukukhishwa kwempahla evela kwamanye amazwe noma evela kumikhumbi yamazwe ngamazwe kanye ukuhamba kwezindiza noma ukushiswa kwe-biomass (lokho kuluhlaza!), kanye nokushiywa ngaphandle kwezihibe zempendulo ezingabikezelwa, kanye nesakhiwo esibalweni izinzuzo zobuchwepheshe obucatshangwayo besikhathi esizayo obusekela isimo sezulu. Bese kuba nezinto ngisho izinhlangano ezilwela imvelo zijwayele ukuthula. Lokhu kuvame ukuhlanganisa imfuyo. Cishe njalo zihlanganisa impi, ngokuvamile engafakwa ezivumelwaneni zesimo sezulu ngisho nasezingxoxweni mayelana nezivumelwano zesimo sezulu.

Kuningi esingakwenza, kuhlanganise nokutshelana ngenkinga naphezu kokungakwazi ukwazi ngayo.

Singakwazi ngisho nokushaya imithetho yokukhipha uxhaso kuzo zombili izikhali namafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi, ukufundisa abantu mayelana nokuxhumana phakathi kwakho kokubili phakathi nenqubo, ngaphambi kokuba zonke izinkumbulo zisulwe ngokushesha:
