Charter of Climate Change Rights and Responsibility:
|
CACOR is pleased to post our Charter of Climate Change Rights and Responsibility that we would like to see enacted into legislation in all jurisdictions. Please help by urging municipal counsellors and MPs and MLAs to support this initiative. We believe the Charter is self-explanatory but the ideas embedded within the Charter are drawn from insights CACOR drew from the Pathways Project (see postings on the website as well).
|
Similarly, we have launched the call for the adoption of this Charter with a set of 7 initial companion recommendations also drawn from Pathways insights except for the biological ones. Please note we intend to advocate for further recommendations as seem useful. Your ideas for future recommendations are welcome. But for now, there is much to do to ask your friends and organizations and networks you know to post this Charter everywhere so more Canadians become familiar with it. If adopted, it would provide a framework to prevent future governments from inaction. Please consider both documents carefully.

Yesterday’s presentation Dr. Jack Alpert – Imagining a Sustainable Civilization.. – CACOR Zoom 2022-02-16 (canadiancor.com) brings a key issue to my mind. Oft-quoted is the notion that we cannot solve problems with the same thinking that caused the problems. While Jack’s calculations are no doubt sound, they are based on sustaining exactly the sort of civilization we have at present. Perhaps by …

Iceland was one of the first countries to move to 100% renewable electricity, in part because it was able to tap into geothermal energy from its unique volcano-filled geology. In many other places, that energy isn’t as readily available. But new technology could make geothermal power accessible anywhere—and the company is aiming for one specific use case: putting the geothermal …
