Ibhalwe nguTamra Testerman, Izindaba zeTaos, Januwari 6, 2022
UJean Stevens unguthisha waseTaos Municipal Schools osethathe umhlalaphansi, owayenguSolwazi Womlando Wezobuciko e-UNM-Taos, umqondisi weTaos Environmental Film Festival kanye nomholi nomeluleki ku-Climate Reality Project. Unentshisekelo yokuqedwa kwezikhali zenuzi. Ngesikhathi sobhubhane waqhubeka nokushaya insimbi, eya ezingqungqutheleni futhi exhumana nabaholi benhlangano emhlabeni jikelele. Uthe: "Ngiyethemba ukuthi ubuhlakani bokuthula kuzoba wucingo oluhamba phambili ngo-2022."
Ngobusuku bangaphambi konyaka omusha, uTempo wathintana noStevens wabuza ngalokho okufeziwe ngo-2021 mayelana nokuthula ngaphandle kwezikhali zenuzi, nokuthi yini okufanele acabange ngayo ngo-2022.
Okufeziwe ngo-2021
Ngomhla zingama-22 kuJanawari, 2021, i-United Nations' Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons yagunyazwa ngabasayini abangu-86 kanye neziqinisekiso ezingu-56. ISivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi siyakwenqabela ukudluliswa kwezikhali futhi sinqabela abasayinileyo ekuvumeleni noma iyiphi idivayisi yeziqhumane zenuzi ukuthi imiswe, ifakwe noma isetshenziswe endaweni yabo. Iningi labantu emhlabeni lifuna kuqedwe izikhali zenuzi, njengoba kuboniswa izinhlolo-vo ezihlukahlukene. Nakhu okufeziwe njengoba kuphawulwe Umkhankaso Wamazwe Ngamazwe Wokuqeda Izikhali Zenuzi [ICAN]. Izikhungo zezezimali eziyikhulu namashumi amabili nesikhombisa ziye zayeka ukutshala izimali ezinkampanini ezikhiqiza izikhali zenuzi ngo-2021, izikhungo eziningi zisho ukuqala kokusebenza kwesivumelwano kanye nobungozi bombono ongemuhle womphakathi njengezizathu zoshintsho kuzinqubomgomo zabo zokutshala imali.
I-Norway neJalimane bamemezele ukuthi bazothamela Umhlangano Wesithembiso SeSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi [TPNW] Umhlangano Wokuqala Wamazwe Amaqembu njengababukeli, okuwenza abe yizifundazwe zokuqala ze-NATO (futhi endabeni yaseJalimane, izwe elibamba izikhali zenuzi) ukwephula ingcindezi yamazwe ahlomile ngezikhali zenuzi ngokumelene nesivumelwano. Amaqembu amasha ayisishiyagalombili ajoyine isivumelwano, kanti ezinye izifundazwe eziningi zisekude kakhulu nenqubo yazo yasekhaya. IDolobha laseNew York licele uhulumeni wase-US ukuthi ajoyine lesi sivumelwano - kanye nakumphathi wawo ukuthi ahlukanise izimali zempesheni yomphakathi ezinkampanini eziboshelwe izikhali zenuzi.
Njengoba sincike ku-2022, libukeka kanjani ikusasa?
Ekupheleni kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi, ngenxa yezingxoxo noNobhala Jikelele uGorbachev noMongameli uReagan, izikhali zenuzi ezingaphezu kuka-50,000 zacekelwa phansi. Kusele izikhali zenuzi eziyi-14,000 emhlabeni, ezinye zicushwe yizinwele, ezingacekela phansi iplanethi yethu izikhathi eziningi futhi ezicishe zenzeke ngenxa yezingozi ezinjengalena eyenzeka ngo-September 26, 1983 eduze kwaseMoscow naseCaribbean ngomkhumbi-ngwenya waseSoviet. Ngo-Okthoba 27, 1962 ngesikhathi seCuban Missile Crisis. Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi singawahlakaza kalula amabhomu enuzi nge-UN kanye nethimba lamazwe amaningi lososayensi nongoti benuzi. Sidinga kuphela intando yokwenza kanjalo.
Amafu amnyama akha ezweni lethu Lomlingo. Kunesidingo sokuthi wonke umuntu, kuzo zonke izinkolo, ahlangane ukuze kube nokuthula kuMama wethu oyigugu. Sonke sisengozini enkulu njengoba isabelomali samasosha/izimboni/nuke siqhubeka nokukhula kanye nokuhlukahluka kwe-COVID nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Sesifikile isikhathi sokuthi labo abakholelwa ezimfundisweni zikaFrancis oNgcwele bathathe uhambo olusuka eChimayo baye eSanta Fe; idolobha eliqanjwe ngoSanta Francis, egameni lokuthula kanye nokuqedwa kwezikhali zenuzi emhlabathini ongcwele waseNew Mexico kanye neplanethi yethu.
Isikhathi sesifikile sokuba sonke sivukele isivumelwano sikaFaustian esenziwe esikhangisweni sakamuva seTaos News yiLos Alamos Laboratory, esasithi, “Ukutshala imali ekufundeni nasemandleni abantu.” Njengoba kubikiwe i-Los Alamos Study Group, ngaphezu kwamaphesenti angu-80 omsebenzi we-Los Alamos National Lab uwukuthuthukisa izikhali zenuzi nocwaningo.
Ochwepheshe abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi siphila esikhathini esiyingozi kakhulu kunangeMpi Yomshoshaphansi. Njengoba owayenguNobhala Wezokuvikela uWilliam Perry ephawulile, ama-ICBM “angezinye zezikhali eziyingozi kakhulu emhlabeni ngoba umongameli angaba nemizuzu nje embalwa ukuze anqume ukuthi uzokwethula yini lapho exwayisa ngokuhlasela kwenyukliya, okwandisa amathuba okuba ngengozi impi yenuzi esekelwe ku-alamu engamanga. I-Bulletin of Atomic Scientists ehlonishwayo iye yabeka “iwashi layo lembubhiso” imizuzwana eyikhulu kuya phakathi kwamabili, okuwuphawu lwendlela isintu esiye sasondelana ngayo nempi yenuzi. Futhi ucwaningo olwenziwa yi-International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War and Physicians for Social Responsibility lubonise ukuthi ukusetshenziswa ngisho nengxenye yezikhali zenuzi ezikhona manje emhlabeni kungase kubangele indlala yomhlaba wonke engabeka ukuphila kwezigidi zezigidi engozini.”
I-Dalai Lama, kanye nabanye abaholi bezomoya emhlabeni wonke, bakhulume egameni lokuvinjelwa ngokuphelele kwezikhali zenuzi. Izingane namuhla kufanele zibe nekusasa elingenakho ukushabalala okukhulu ngenxa ye-athomu ye-Ice Age. Izindleko zamanje zomhlaba ziyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-72.6 zamaRandi ezikhali zenuzi. Zonke izimpilo zethu kuMama Womhlaba zisengcupheni ngenxa yobuhlanya bokunikeza osonkontileka bokuvikela imali kunezikole, izibhedlela, amapulazi esimeme kanye nokuthola izixazululo zokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu.
Kufanele sonke siphakamise amazwi ethu mayelana neSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi nokusekelwa, ngeminikelo uma kungenzeka, i-ICAN (Umkhankaso Wamazwe Ngamazwe Wokuqeda Izikhali Zenuzi). Izikole kulo lonke elase-USA, nakwamanye amazwe, kufanele zifake izincwadi namafilimu ohlelweni lwezifundo lwazo futhi kufanele sikuhlole, ngokujulile, kanye nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Khumbula, asisoze sayinqoba impi yenuzi!
