The futility of waste. Deserts are basically wastelands; most were once green and flourishing rainforests. All deserts grow a bit more each year. In theory, they may one day take over the whole planet, that is if other catastrophes do not beat them to it. |

Frequently we see vivid photographs of famine-stricken children and are weighed down by the breathtaking mission of feeding planet Earth's starving millions. Why, we question, is there so much hunger in the world today? One solution can be broken down into FOUR categories: Poverty, Population, Priorities & Politics. They are separate issues, but are also interlocked each effecting the other. Poverty, Population, Priorities & PoliticsThe one obvious explanation for starvation is POVERTY . The underprivileged are usually hungry, and the hungry are usually poor. In 1st World countries, we have the luxury of only worrying about our quality of life and the standard of living. However, in 3rd World countries, where there is no relative standard of living, the motivation of life quality shifts to the simple act of supporting life; i.e. survival. A key problem here is Capital Investment, which most 3rd World Countries do not readily have. They have no or little money to spend on agricultural or its development when they have hungry mouths to feed, and medical problems to consider. |

Every single day around 25,000 people die because they do not have enough food to eat or through some other hunger-related cause. However, thorough some intervention from the wealthy West this is less than the 35,000 10 years ago and the 40,000 20 years ago. Sadly 75% of all these deaths are children under five years old. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Read this and weep. Over the last few months we have come to a frightening conclusion. If you click onto the banner-link above, it will take you to our Sahara Supposition Page. The Sahara Supposition started life around 1995 as several things, but mainly a scheme to Terraform the Sahara Desert; read the webpage for yourself, but read this first. The Sahara Supposition In 2051, the world's global environment will start to change without fear of God or Man. The crux of it is that by around 2080, due to Global Warming, our Northern Hemisphere, will be thrust into the biggest Ice-Age for 20,000 years. Millions of people who live in the North of our planet, that is, Northern USA, Canada, Northern Europe, will be killed, or made homeless at best. Today, the people of Africa, our biggest continent, are dying in numbers that are unbelievable, through Starvation, AIDS, Malaria, many other diseases, dirty water, wars, homicide, TB and genocide. The So-called civilized world bangs many drums to try to prove that it is helping to change this ELE, but it is all a farce. Live 8, may have raised great awareness and $200 million. But this is nothing in the scheme of monetarism. War engulfs more every second. In 1972, the USA declared that it was spending $24 million each and every hour on the Vietnam War. What is that in today's money? In less than a century, many millions of people who live in our Northern Hemisphere, will need somewhere to live, they will have, Africa. Parts of the USA, most of the UK and Europe will be covered in ice that could be a kilometre thick. Great cities like Chicago, New York, London, Moscow, will be gone, sealed in some frozen stasis for maybe another century or millennium. By then most native Africans will be dead and for the first time in Earth's history, Africa will be a continent dominated by white races. Just a few miles south of England there is a very small island called the Isle of Wight. It is said that the whole population of the Earth could stand on this island at the same time. Using England's Population Density, well over 50 Billion People could live in Africa, and no doubt one day they will.

Annan Urges World Summit to Rehabilitate the Earth NEW YORK, New York, May 14, 2002 (ENS) - United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan is looking ahead a little more than three months to August 26 when the World Summit on Sustainable Development opens in Johannesburg, South Africa. Intended as a 10 year reinvigoration of Agenda 21 agreed at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, Annan sees the gathering as a means to rehabilitate the Earth. At preparatory meetings over the past year, stakeholders of all varieties have called for action, not more talk, at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD). Today Annan outlined five areas where concrete results can be attained in Johannesburg.
Because of the secretary-general's urgent mission to Cyprus, where he is trying to give new momentum to the peace talks, his remarks calling for action at the Johannesburg Earth Summit were delivered at the American Museum of Natural History today by his wife Nane Annan. Water and sanitation, Energy, Health, Agriculture, and Biodiversity - these are the five key areas where concrete results "can and must be obtained," Annan said. These five areas could be remembered by a simple acronym - WEHAB. Annan said her husband hopes this acronym will become "something of a mantra" between now and the opening of the Summit in Johannesburg. "You might think of it like this: we inhabit the Earth. And we must rehabilitate our one and only planet," Annan said. By concentrating on these five areas, Annan said, the Summit could produce an "ambitious but achievable program of practical steps to improve the lives of all human beings while protecting the global environment." Environmental concerns have been overshadowed, Annan said, by conflicts, globalization and, most recently, terrorism. The activities leading up to the Summit have refocused world attention on the environment, but he is articulating these five goals today, said Annan, to bring greater clarity to the process. "I sense a need for greater clarity on what Johannesburg is about and what it can achieve," he said. "Negotiators who meet later this month in Bali need clarity if they are to draft a strong program of action. The public at large needs clarity if they are to support the changes that must occur." The final preparatory conference for the Summit meets in Bali, Indonesia from May 24 to June 7. This ministerial level conference will consider the draft text offered by Prep Comm chairman Emil Salim of Indonesia. In his draft released May 9, Salim covers in detail the same points made by the secretary-general today. He and Annan both emphasize the need to eradicate poverty, which Salim calls, "the greatest global challenge facing the world today and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development, particularly for developing countries." Salim suggests establishing a World Solidarity Fund for Poverty Eradication and the Promotion of Human Development in the poorest regions of the world. New efforts are needed, Annan believes, because the present model of development, which has brought privilege and prosperity to about 20 percent of humanity, has also exacted a heavy price by degrading the planet and depleting its resources. Yet, according to the Secretary-General, "at discussions on global finance and the economy, the environment is still treated as an unwelcome guest." High consumption lifestyles continue to tax the earth's natural life support systems, research and development are under funded and neglectful of the problems of the poor, and developed countries "have not gone far enough," he said, to fulfill either of the promises they made in Rio - to protect their own environments and to help the developing world defeat poverty. The issue, the secretary-general said, is not environment versus development, or ecology versus economy. "Contrary to popular belief," he said, "we can integrate the two." Annan stated concrete goals for each of the five areas he wants to see the WSSD take action to achieve.
Water: Provide access to at least one billion people who lack clean drinking water and two billion people who lack proper sanitation. Energy: Provide access to more than two billion people who lack modern energy services; promote renewable energy; reduce over consumption; and ratify the Kyoto Protocol to address climate change. Health: Address the effects of toxic and hazardous materials; reduce air pollution, which kills three million people each year, and lower the incidence of malaria and African guinea worm, which are linked with polluted water and poor sanitation. Agricultural productivity: Work to reverse land degradation, which affects about two-thirds of the world's agricultural lands. Biodiversity and ecosystem management: Reverse the processes that have destroyed about half of the world's tropical rainforest and mangroves, and are threatening 70 percent of the world's coral reefs and decimating the world's fisheries. "These are five areas," Annan said, "in which progress would offer all human beings a chance of achieving prosperity that will not only last their own lifetime, but can be enjoyed by their children and grandchildren too." "In Johannesburg, we have a chance to catch up," he said. "Together, we will need to find our way towards a greater sense of mutual responsibility. Together, we will need to build a new ethic of global stewardship. Together, we can and must write a new and hopeful chapter in natural and human history." The World Summit on Sustainable Development will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, from August 26 to September 4. Heads of government and heads of state, and more than 20,000 citizen activists and business representatives are expected to attend.
