COP19—Warsaw Climate Conference — Global Issues

COP19—Warsaw Climate Conference — Global Issues: "poorer nations could be affected by a problem they have largely not been responsible for and that while all the international outpouring of aid and assistance was incredibly welcome, that support for preventing and adapting to such events is paramount and efforts are urgently needed to curb emission increases.

In an emotional speech the Philippines lead negotiator for the conference, Naderev Saño, received a standing ovation for announcing that he will go on a hunger strike until a meaningful outcome is in sight."

First I decided to decide, and then I decided. Time is moving so much more quickly since this change has taken place. I apologize to those who perhaps expected so much more from me by now.

Things will turn around just prior or right after December 21, 2013 because the time demands it!

COP19—Warsaw Climate Conference — Global Issues

COP19—Warsaw Climate Conference — Global Issues: "Typhoon Haiyan was the largest cyclone on record to hit land
The meeting came at the time when the devastating Typhoon Haiyan had just killed thousands in the Philippines and affected millions more. It was an ominous warning of what could be more frequent as climate change continues to take hold.

It was also an example of how poorer nations could be affected by a problem they have largely not been responsible for and that while all the international outpouring of aid and assistance was incredibly welcome, that support for preventing and adapting to such events is paramount and efforts are urgently needed to curb emission increases."

COP19—Warsaw Climate Conference — Global Issues

COP19—Warsaw Climate Conference — Global Issues: "climate change was largely the result of actions from today’s industrialized nations, as carbon dioxide — the main greenhouse gas — stays in the atmosphere for decades. Yet, the poorest would end up suffering the most for a problem they largely did not cause. The approaches to mitigation (emissions reduction) would therefore be different for those groups of countries — the common but differentiated responsibilities principle."

Parsha Chukas

Parsha Chukas: "The life we are all living is by default the only single reference point that we have. In order to develop a rudimentary understanding of parsha chukas we have to expand our point of reference, via analogy.

The simplest reference we might come up with to understand how: we can burn a pure red cow and then sprinkle have a mixture of the ashes from this cow along with water sprinkled upon us, and this can purify us from having contact with the dead."

The Future of Social Networks as Interpreted by 21 Social Media Practitioners | Ignite Social Media: "Social Networking is growing like texting did. Texting is now a normal form of communication around the world. However, only 8% of all U.S. Internet users are active on Twitter every day. A recent report released by Pew discovered that 20% of smartphone owners are active on Twitter with 13% using the service on a typical day. While that ratio will certainly increase, so will the penetration of smartphones. 18-24 are not only the fastest growing group of Twitter users over the last year"

The Future of Social Networks as Interpreted by 21 Social Media Practitioners | Ignite Social Media: " I definitely think we are far from a peaked interest in social networking. Since as far back as we can remember, social gatherings have been the core of our existence. They have been something we look forward to and help us cope with many of the struggles in life.
