THE CORN EXCHANGE, BRIGHTON DOME - Leo Perrin is the Youth Project Lead at the Cleaner Ocean Foundation - a not for profit R&D organisation. This is an amateur video of a short presentation given on the 13th of June 2024 about the 'green hydrogen' powered Elizabeth Swann - a zero carbon trimaran around 44 meters in length. Bristling with state of the art tech. This talk (only his second) was given at the launch of the 'Sussex Bay' re-wilding project, a brilliant initiative to conserve around 100 miles of the Sussex southern coastline, supported by many authorities and like minded concerns.
UNDERTAKER POLICIES - There were some 8 million deaths globally in 2018 from cancer caused by air pollution. It is worse than Covid19 at 5,078,234 so far in two years (@ November 2021). Thus air pollution from diesel and petrol vehicle exhausts is 3 times more dangerous than Covid19. But the particulate and smog problems are not receiving the attention it deserves. Perhaps now that Russia has shown us the folly of allowing unregulated profiteering from fossil fuels, by playground bullies, Europe and the US may want to start taking renewable energy more seriously. For sure Ukraine is awake to the problem.
In June 2022, the cost of filling a car with petrol reached £100, while in the States, diesel topped $5 dollars a gallon. Could this be the death knell for fossil fuel vehicles? Unfortunately not yet, even though those bumbling clods in Whitehall have failed us yet again in the forward planning department. Because we still have no infrastructure to support cheaper EVs. The good news is that the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen (our hero), is putting €300 billion euros on the table, in the hope of reducing dependency on Imperialist Russia.
They say "all is fair in love and war." Well, the world is at war. It is those suffering from climate warming, against those causing global change. In which case it is fair play to call a spade a spade, name names and review the media, with comment where appropriate. If they thought they could get away with sitting on their hands as they watch people die in far off lands, and then blame it on the others (also doing little), they were wrong. Their children and great grandchildren will make sure of that!
SARGASSUM PLAGUE - The expansion of macro algae into the equatorial Atlantic, demonstrates that migrating from one ocean to another is a distinct possibility. This is due to global warming and changing weather patterns, allied to fertilizer leaching.
ARMAGEDDON - FINANCIAL TIMES 17 JULY 2020 - Heat waves and forest fires. The consequences of failing to act when you have the opportunity, is that it is too late when the planet reacts to being abused, by torching your homes. What you can hope for is that the politicians who allowed the situation to go unchecked, are the ones who get roasted first when the crops fail - and they are forced to consider other sources of protein, and are in need of accommodation that is not a crematorium by another name. British Columbia, Europe and London are already feeling the heat from the G20's arsonist policies. Signs from above that man has upset the balance of the natural world. Is this the beginning of the end? Whatever happens, we are going to need more fire engines and firefighters. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
The fossil fools continue with senile policies borne of geriatric investments, that were thought to be safe by generations of voters who were told that car exhausts did not cause lung cancer, and that the world was not warming from CO2. But they used to say the world was flat! Scientists who said otherwise were branded heretics, and persecuted. Today, everyone knows the world is round, and most people know humans are causing global warming. We urgently need to amend the Rome Statute to include ECOCIDE. Such that the UN's International Criminal Court can prosecute offenders.
Countries that thumb their noses at climate change, such as to increase harmful pollution, might have to face criminal prosecution via the International Criminal Court, and the tenets of the Rome Statute of 1998. Whereby it is a criminal offence to cause hurt to another human, from your actions or failure to act to prevent harm.
GLOBAL WARMING - The cause of much famine is man-made is global warming. As our climate heats up, the artic ice melts causing ocean levels to rise and agricultural land to become deserts. The most influential world leaders, of the G7 and G20 are fully aware of the consequences of failing to act in sufficient time to prevent Geographical Genocide. According to the 1948 Convention, Genocide is a crime. Any person or state advocating policies that do not seek to reduce climate warming, are therefore criminals; logically. The excuse that their economy might suffer, is no excuse when it comes to (in effect) murdering other groups of human beings. There must be zero tolerance. It is the insatiable lust for economic growth that has caused the deaths of millions of displaced persons and those who died of lung cancer. The agendas of guilty nations are not that dissimilar to those pursued by Nazi Germany and must be constrained for the protection of our most vulnerable groups, such as the Island Nations.
Frankly, we are not amused. Current pledges from world leaders are roughly one third of what is needed to keep the planet under 1.5 degrees temperature rise. Hence, we need to pull out all the lobbying stops before COP27 in Egypt. So that world leaders get the message, that it's no longer a strategy, to stand by and watch 7-8 million humans die each year from lung cancer and respiratory diseases - business as usual - blah, blah, blah. It is butchery and an extremely painful death at that, on a far bigger scale than the mass-murders in concentration camps, during WWII. With 300,000,000 million and more lives at stake, to 2050, based on current statistics.
We are a small concern without a significant budget to be able to address global warming via technology, but will endeavour to name and shame - giving those identified an opportunity to respond to any allegation, to ensure fair and balanced reporting. Any failure to respond, will undoubtedly be taken as an admission by the voting public. Please see the Glasgow Climate Pact, as being some slight improvement on COP21. We are extremely concerned that with India and China unrepentant, indeed, admitting to increasing the use of coal, that their leaders are not being prosecuted in the International Criminal Court.
THE DIRTIEST DOZEN - WORLD'S WORST HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATORS & DENIERS PROOF: THERE IS NO CURE FOR COMPLACENCY
It is widely reported that the 'climate' big deal in 2021 was FLOP 26. Postponed from 2020, it finally got an airing in November 2021. Just in time to spoil Christmas for next generations - as many of the big players cried off, seeking to extend targets to 2060-2070, all the while sentencing people less fortunate to inhumane treatment, followed by a slow death. Are these world leaders any better than the Nazis who gassed people inconvenient to their agendas? We think not! What is a modern day Nazi?
One bright ray of hope for all climate campaigners, is Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. If every world leader would act similarly and commit transparently, we may make the targets to save the planet. Even so Canada is still a major polluter and exporter of fossil fuel - hence - fossil fools, operating on geriatric policies.
If we don't act now to curb climate change we can kiss goodbye to the planet as we know it. That is what the scientific community has been warning us about for years. But, our leaders are still acting deaf and dumb, as investment senility sets in. Carrying on, business as usual, as they rake in the cash. Yet the technology exists, and all they need to do is enact policy changes to alleviate human suffering.
RISING SEA LEVELS - As the G20 keep pumping carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the Earth's atmosphere, our ice caps are melting, making sea levels rise. Continuing with their economies such as to make life impossible for island nations is illegal, according to the Genocide Convention and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
This prompted yet more protests in London in August and September 2020 from Extinction Rebellion, and motorway madness in 2021 from Insulate Britain - and who can blame them after COP-OUT25. Protestors also chanted outside the event venue in Glasgow. We would urge activists to enter the world of politics, to unseat the geriatrics and fight them from within.
Here's hoping for something better in November 2022, and that will soon be upon us - with signs of climate pain in the form of energy shortages, petrol electricity and coal (with China begging Australia for more). When we should be pushing for green hydrogen, solar and wind power. But there we are. And did we mention the timber and copper shortages, with prices in the UK almost doubling in 12 months. See our reforestation formula.
CONSERVATIVE CORRUPTION - Wow! How many Tory MPs are on the make with other jobs and consultancy engagements, when they are supposed to be representing their constituents, not claiming expenses for time they are working for other clients - and allowances for rents, while renting out their properties as landlords. In our view, that must constitute fraud. Not only are these MPs not working for the electorate who are paying taxes for their services, but the role they are supposed to fill, is not being done. This goes a long way to explaining how some MPs are so rich, and fossil fuel giants have been allowed to continue "business as usual" for so long. See pre COP26 September 2021 cabinet reshuffle. Hopefully, the trimming and pruning may yield climate benefits in 2022, once the corruption dust settles.
POLICY CHANGES - International policies need to change to accelerate green technology, to make up for lost time.
We have just 10 years to try and reverse the global warming trend. There will be 9 years remaining after that event - and we all know how slow to react the UN is! But following Donald the Trumpeter, and now with a clown in 10 Downing Street, what chance have we? Maybe it's time for a vote of no-confidence, and a special election. It's not funny Boris. You had no business masquerading as a politician. But then it is the fault of the voter, for falling for his promises - that turned out to be untrue.

What chance have we as a species? We doubt the G7 ever will be able to change, meaning COP 26 will be FLOP26, leading to FLOP27. Countries that condone immoral earnings and coal burning, are nothing less than Climate Nazis.

Politicians are more worried about economic growth, but continuous growth is suicide when you only have one planet to provide food for a blossoming population. We cannot continue to grow economies where the planet (land and sea) have already over-reached sustainable capacity. We reached the safe limits for exploitation of Earth using fossil fuels many years ago. Hence, the rise in global temperature continues unchecked because of lunatic empire builders and oil cartels, all betting on continued reliance on fossil fuels, with cooperation from corrupt politicians, bought with party contributions, allegedly!
BITCOIN MINING SCAMS & BOGUS TRADING - In our view, there is no such thing as perpetual motion, including in the world of money. It is utter nonsense to suggest that money can be made, without someone somewhere actually producing something. The suggestion that we can all be $millionaires by operating supercomputers that warm the planet without regulation is crazy and immoral. If all we need do is invest $180 dollars, as has been supported by the likes of Elon Musk, to become wealthy, without lifting a finger. Then who is farming our crops, building our homes and making our vehicles? Real workers who provide real services should be rewarded with security, against cyber-climate criminals and leaching scammers. The energy used in relation to rewards is set to derail COP26 and follow on conference negotiations. Like unregulated stock market trading, Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies must be outlawed to help combat global warming and destabilization of sustainable economies.
Oil megalomaniacs are living in denial. Banks are peddling fake money the planet cannot afford, based on promises they cannot keep. At least when we had the gold standard, countries had tangible limits. No gold, no paper money. Gold coins were "repayable to the bearer on demand." We need a $Food Dollar, to replace the gold of old. And crypto-currencies must be outlawed. They are eroding the very fabric of society with get rich quick, without working for it. These are immoral earnings.
We must do all in our power to retrace our footsteps to reduce atmospheric and ocean temperatures. We need more trees, zero carbon cars, zero carbon shipping and sustainable homes - meaning economic restructuring of planet earth and politicians who understand about good housekeeping. No more promises of Wealth creation. We need Health creation. The Health of the Planet, for healthy humans.
HOW DO WE MAKE THE PLANET SAFE AGAIN ?
The fact is that because we have left it so long, it may be too late to recover. Why? We may have reached the point of no return with so many species lost. WE ARE NEXT.
This is because our growing population needs feeding and to earn a living in a modern world that uses fossil fuels for just about everything - with several layers of financial burdens and then more taxes - adding to your carbon footprint. Even agriculture relies on diesel and fertilizers derived from fossil fuels.
That is why we are turning to the ocean to feed ourselves, and aquaculture - having drained our fisheries. Knowing this, we need to act now. NOT TOMORROW, RIGHT NOW. The urgency of the situation gives us the right to be offensive, if world leaders will not budge to save the future for our grandchildren.
Since 1995 members of the United Nations have been playing politics rather than taking binding action to prevent warming of the planet, in the full knowledge that human use of fossil fuels was/is to blame. From local councils to international councils, the rot is set in. Our politicians are responsible for the deaths of millions of animals and hundreds of thousands of humans in not acting to control greenhouse gas build up. They are Climate Criminals.
MELT DOWN - There is no point declaring a climate emergency and continuing to build conventional housing like there is no tomorrow. That is what is happening in Britain at the moment - a Great British foul up!
Human activities are releasing nearly 10 Gegatons of Carbon (about 36 Billion tons of CO2) into the atmosphere every year, driving atmospheric CO2 concentrations to 400 parts per million (ppm) from their pre-industrial levels of 280 ppm. This increase in CO2 and other greenhouse gases concentrations traps additional energy in the earth's climate system.
EMERGENCY ACTIONS: SIX STEPS TOWARD A COOLER PLANET
Six suggested steps toward reversing global warming include building carbon neutral housing, driving clean cars and changing to renewable energy. The hardest change to make is political, concerning policies and policy making to ensure that local authorities stop empire building, thus increasing their carbon footprints. If all local councils act the same, which they do, they are to blame for the planet getting hotter. National leaders simply must take control of their countries, not allow the wishes of the people and future generations to be ignored.
