ANALYSIS OF PROCESS/ OUTCOME, VARIOUS

At 2:20 into the above video of a speech by President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives (Islands) at the UN Climate Summit in New York on Sept. 22, 2009, the threat posed by the impacts of climate change (breakdown, destabilization) to the ability of his people to survive, and the weight of his profound anguish, becomes clear.

International Climate Change Talks, Bonn, Germany, August 10-14, 2009, Yvo de Boer, Closing Press Conference:

"...if we continue at this rate, we're not going to make it (get an agreement in Copenhagen in December)."

"It (Copenhagen) must revolutionize international cooperation to combat climate change."

"...SERIOUS CLIMATE CHANGE IS EQUAL TO 'GAME OVER'."

"...a climate deal in Copenhagen this year is simply an unequivocal requirement to stop climate change from slipping out of control."

-- UNFCCC Executive Secretary, Yvo de Boer
 

Below are two essential new analyses by Carbon Equity Australia's, David Spratt, co-author of Climate Code Red: The Case for Emergency Action, and another by George Monbiot, author of Heat and columnist for The Guardian, among other things.  Both are leading voices of reason on the perils posed by the climate crisis and both are staunch advocates of the need to confront it with EMERGENCY GLOBAL ACTION in order for humanity -- and most other life -- to survive.

To our knowledge, the 2 new Greenpeace reports below are the most urgent pronouncements by an international NGO to date that only EMERGENCY GLOBAL ACTION can avoid runaway "climate chaos".
