![]() Global Green New Deal-Environmentally-Focused Investment Historic Opportunity for 21st Century Prosperity and Job Generation London, 22 October at 12.30pm, Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), Nobel House, 17 Smith Square, London, SW1P 3JR 2008 may prove to be a watershed year with food and fuel crises swiftly followed by a financial one. Faced with the Great Depression President Franklin D Roosevelt rapidly adopted his famous recovery-focused New Deal. It set the stage for the biggest economic growth the world has seen. Today we need similar vision, urgent action and strong political engagement to direct financial flows and manage markets to deal with the even greater global challenges of our time. These range from climate change; poverty; job creation for the 1.3 billion people under or unemployed and accelerating natural resource scarcity to the need to fuel and to feed six billion, rising to nine billion people by 2050. A new Green Deal, generating businesses in renewable energies; clean tech ventures, sustainable agriculture, conservation and the intelligent management of the planet's ecosystems and nature-based infrastructure is already underway. Accelerating this transition is at the core of the Green Economy initiative and the best bet for global, sustainable wealth and employment generation for 1.3 billion poor people.

1 hour researching TESLA is all it will take to convince anyone with an IQ over 100 that the GREEN (YAAA! GO GREEN!!!) economy is only a century late or so.
Yep! But one hour is all it takes for anyone with an IQ over 100 to know that the UN plans for Green and the crazy French President and head of the EU are BIG Illuminati plans/member too! Take care to try to see the "Big Picture" here folks. You are all focusing on economic collapse, but add a huge volcanic eruption or BIG earthquakes to the picture and then you would see what the lady from Georgia was saying when she said so many of you are deluded. And Honey, be nice, as they aren't deluded but NAIVE! SOMETHING IS UP...cops are everywhere in the cities and military troops are popping up in strange places. The signs are very apparent that something serious is either being planned or expected. Prepare the best you can, but if you do nothing and die, then all I can do is pray for you. I will probably be too busy surviving and SO many who didn't listen will be dying that I will basically have to accept your death as "the way it was meant to be." And I don't think the Founding Fathers are laughing PERIOD! I think some are happy the Illuminati "appears" to be winning while others are rolling in their graves hoping that enough Americans will fight when the time comes...any way they can. I pray each day that I never have to defend myself from looters, killers, and any other kind of psycho, but I am a dead shot with my .357, and if comes down to me or them, they lose. We all hope we are wrong, but what if we aren't? I absolutely HATE hunting, but I will do it, clean the carcass, and butcher it in a flash too! I want to save a lot of people too, but you can't save everyone from their own arrogance or stupidity either. I know the stress of waiting is a killer, but I thank God every day that he has given me another 24 hours to prepare and I pray for more time too. Until I am self-sufficient in an off-grid area, I won't be able to truly relax and take a breather. Hugs to all, Wolf |

Well this pisses me off. The international bankers take down the world economy, destroy the dollar, then they set up their 'either-or' option for New World Order.
I say, we stick with the dollar, domestically. For currency needs outside of the country...we'll have to work with currency rates as is. The REAL economy is local. We need to take back control through our local govts. |

Germany urges Obama to give world new "green" deal
Reuters | Nov 6, 2008 BERLIN - The United States after Barack Obama becomes president must work closely with Europe to fight climate change, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Thursday. "The world needs a 'new green deal'," Germany's Vice Chancellor said in a speech opening a two-day conference "Climate Change as a Security Threat." Steinmeier has warned climate change is a cause of friction and a threat to peace. Germany long has been a leading critic of U.S. President George W. Bush's resistance to cuts in greenhouse gases blamed for global warming. President-elect Obama said in his acceptance speech on Tuesday that climate change was a top priority, alongside wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- marking a sharp shift with Bush. In his speech, Steinmeier said he was confident Obama was serious about tackling climate change. Steinmeier, who met Obama in July, said he had made his views on fighting climate change clear during the U.S. election. "Obama is fully aware of America's global responsibility," Steinmeier said at the conference in Freiburg, a hotbed of photovoltaic energy production in Germany's southwest corner also known as the country's "solar city." "It's hard to imagine a better time for this conference -- 24 hours after the U.S. election," he said in the speech, extracts of which were released by the Foreign Ministry. "Climate change is a challenge that we'll either rise to meet collectively or we will fail collectively," Steinmeier said, adding close European-American cooperation in the fight against global warming is vital to finding solutions. Germany is a world leader of renewable energy and produces more than half of the world's photovoltaic energy. The European Union plans to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 20 percent below 1990 levels by 2020. Obama aims to cut U.S. emissions by 80 percent from 1990 levels by 2050 even though U.S. emissions were 14 percent above 1990 levels in 2006. Could Obama appoint a "climate czar"? Reuters | Nov 6, 2008 WASHINGTON - U.S. environmental groups see Barack Obama's presidential victory as a chance to undo the Bush legacy on global warming, and one idea they are discussing is the possibility of a White House "climate czar". Members of the environmental community in and around Washington say such a post could oversee various government agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency and the Interior Department, to focus on tackling global warming and fostering clean energy to jump-start the flagging economy. "For the first time, candidates and voters are really connecting the dots between energy, the environment and the economy," said Cathy Duvall, Sierra Club's political director. She said at a news briefing that Obama had made it clear that investing in cleaner energy would be a top priority in his plan for economic recovery. One way to coordinate these interrelated issues would be to have one person in charge, based at the White House, according to sources in the environmental community familiar with the idea. They said this could be part of a White House special council on energy and environment, analogous to the National Security Council. This kind of organization could be more effective than the Environmental Protection Agency has been under President George W. Bush, one source said. Obama made clear in his acceptance speech on Tuesday that he sees climate change as a critical problem, along with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the wilting economy. "For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime -- two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century," the Illinois Democratic senator said in Chicago. Obama also has articulated that the economy, energy and climate change are inter-related problems. |

You can bet that the employment generation for 1.3 billion means that Africa is the next step for scraping the bottom of the barrel for low paid workers. As for the US "climate czar", isn't it amusing how they used the word "czar" ? |
