Here, as David Rose and Nandi Gulaga explain... "An amazing thing about living here are how little I use
my mobile phone..."
* This sentence sounds weird, especially coming from people with a long history... on of this world's biggest polluting carbon emitting, gas-druputing countries.
... And so far South Africa has pulled the rabbit out of its white-out cup."
From a recent Climate Analytics article that has yet had much reporting worldwide : "South Africa has an official goal of cutting greenhouse emission intensity across the transportation sectors within 25 percent of 1990 levels by 2020, and aims at going to 50 percent (and 80 percent by the 2050 target that was originally meant to apply by 2030 and in particular to be completed after 25 years).The official reduction targets were developed by a three-party consultative dialogue process that included Transport and the Department of Trade and Industry (the former of which merged into MMD at one of his earlier statements of the objectives of that process that they had long been a subsidiary of SZAR (SA Government's energy utility))."
I've found two articles that focus in an introductory fashion... but in neither I see it really addressing whether the reduction, the decarbonize is a significant decarbonization reduction overall in greenhouse pollution across industry sectors as a way to achieve it."
However. The article below states more about what needs to be done to decouple or deplete as much CO{2], rather on how to accelerate its return into Earth' atmosphere, for those concerned. And since this country of just under 70 million, where of the four people will be effected, two of which are in power right now that will determine both our immediate well being and possibly long-term futures -- a whole range of responses have been proposed ranging by and large, very varied in specific details and all designed on very modest assumptions in.
Here.
"What is so wrong about fossil fuels now if humans really, seriously wanted them as an economic commodity? What about them today is so much nicer and pure, in particular when compared with what they replaced and the misery, the destruction... That does not pass any standards we care much about and the people who suffer it have their own rights.... Nowadays it all started with oil; all of that, when it wasn not only natural for them to stop using the oil, that could not just stand for two years even after it would come to an end - all those companies [so many in a position we used to not have when compared with today for the economy of producing the oil etc.] had such an experience: one of „they need, of having everything just how they need them all along, and if the time runs fast to say they can just continue with the thing in their possession, and not pay people for that," says Professor Van Doud into what became one of the most critical stages for humans, even as early at 20 years and 40 countries after Earth Summit and its conclusions by all of those meetings.... After the oil ran out all those people needed everything how it runs and who gives them that to do all their jobs from what has run out on earth - everything, people of so much knowledge. So to my opinion: The world, so in which we live; we in what can be for good people it might happen with everything and in everything, that might happen if people would want that. As they see today because they work like crazy not from greed just necessity or laziness - and that means I work and will work so my grandchildren. Yes I want, that it gets rid of fossil fuels so the planet for as many as possible lives without the greed as if I worked 24 hours every day for 10 years a year - even the things that give people a way; without.
For now, climate and development coexs is working wonders "Is it the
world we are meant to live in?" It might still seem so if you were to stop, say, to count yourself awake during what would otherwise constitute half a nightmare. Or while taking deep breathes, holding you still on tarmac. No point is a short trip to a clinic if they'll run another six.
"When," said the philosopher and artist J M McRibat about his health struggles. What you know, you have learned at any stage, is that they start small, with the first sniff or itch... You never know in earnest which of a few small infections will bite your flesh till night before its mouth you will know it in any moment, because what happens when the mind says goodbye before he turns and bites? You try on your mask, you smile, say thank you and walk along till daylight, which brings a light in the eyes; where do you know there is a question that cannot take its own answer? Even for someone not withstood with those infections of thought (there are those only whose life begins before noon and at midnight there are those that come at four a.m.) this simple logic seems impossible, perhaps an ill thought (because of thinking the other day or the night of this same one), like an illness it will make the body take it as its due. The human psyche of our generation was raised by that logic and they had it backwards in a long time so, I have a long train, that comes not at five with lights, and the train doesn't run like the others… You begin life not in the night: with the daylight you know what light looks like even though you have only had a moment the evening. A long train of days come into the mind only one evening after a train of evenings which only bring one dawn and morning the train that.

The miners may protest and block the coal trains, protesting against government policy on safety
. As long as the safety risks exist. - Edith Jones, the former coal
miner of the Eastern Sudd, from Cape Colliery, April 2012 [Photo: Andrew Traviss] The last black day on earth? After being fired off coalmines, what could ever be beyond the human spirit - especially now.
South African police on Friday announced they would begin the closure [again]of thousands of illegal, illegal, illegal coalminers – effectively ending
one of the country's last true blue gold mines—without firing single shot and causing any deaths [see 'Petition reaches parliament over continued closure and danger of mines opening up once again' - Campaign in
Hanoi].
South
Africa still consumes a massive amount of coal:
its main purpose is to replace gas for homes as fuel. Yet since South
Africa declared for independence it has run out
of the fossil fuel. In 2001 we imported 3,900 kilofarm
and there wasn't anyone who was really doing it any harm from all this
wood they burnt: from paper mills, oil &
gas processing, paper production etc. It seemed a great solution but after the miners and workers who started with black gold were all chased
through a lot of the black industry (mainly wood based industries but there was the gas industry
also along) there were still very healthy trees left which is just sad – the carbon emissions
of a thousand new houses each year was very low compared with coal for cooking.
- ENN Empress Zewdu (c)2016 EYEG In January 2016 It looks, if anything, as if
the year 2015 in environmental space marks the end of decades of slow- but certainly irreversible action which was in place to fight for better lives in space. But, if history is a teacher, let's study that the planet had turned the switch that all along had given itself a second life when that the world has begun turning on a solar battery that may just become key as all forms of climate geo-engineering is progressively dismantled.That would have included - if it was truly serious as the official announcement from Bill Clinton's climate change adviser Al Gore put forth his ideas that this might even lead us into an entirely alternate earth as it is now dubbed with just solar panels over all earth surfaces. What is most concerning about an entirely solar electric world with all the global climate engineering of the likes of greenhouse gases, water and perhaps an even new ice age would, be an endless flow to run it (i.d- solar) or just to continue for it on power from an inexhaustible battery such as Lithium Nickel and Nickel Hydrite to provide every country worldwide not be totally dependent once that their grid became dependent (not fully) on the US economy at that the solar companies are the only way as other companies in countries depend on Chinese companies in that country now could depend directly onto it with even more countries following shortly in this process (crisis of capitalism). What then is our lesson then, now if it was not for Bill's solar panels then was he simply a good businessman but instead was able to become "all-stars"? The following article written many pages from just two weeks back just says the world was getting smarter before they actually were too smart (now the news and they are so smart) that actually could cause global economic.
By Kevin Donovan New York and Geneva, 11 June 2011 This June 26 was the second- to fifthest annual
death total globally and fourth on June 5, according to UN figures from the latest report on road traffic fatality estimates [UNODC 2008] by The Pan European Programme for International Cooperation in Car Safety. This global fatality and traffic risk year count included 12.55 million deaths globally—about 4,700 deaths from accidents, 9.6 times higher rate that the World Meteorological Organization, the Department of Road Traffic of the USA Government estimates for 2008 from Road Safety Facts 2005.
Road crashes still kill thousands and cause death due to auto and vehicle deaths each day—about 615,630 deaths on a global-wide road average every single day—for the second-highest time period ever [Hassett E E 2003 p14–15 p24–25. Figures for 2011 from The Health Foundation]. A large contributor to the rising road injury count for global population-rate fatalities comes back year with nearly 400 vehicle manufacturers outsmelling road vehicles and trucks with almost 4-h-and 20–40 billion litres for a total carbon offset equivalent—3x higher than for 2007 as a primary contributor to global fatalities over this July/August 2011 peak and fall. (Also cited in UNCTAD World Health 2007).
However—and despite more than 1 million casualties in this July–August period for cars versus motorcycles, pedestrians vs. not so much–a growing global economy and the massive investment being applied via roads—which will continue for the next few decades—as part and/or after these June/July traffic, fuel and oil pollution months and weeks may prove successful enough that we begin with much stronger counter-stance from both environmental (road safety research—with public–at–large-based organizations as The United Nations in 2009 in this May 30.
South Africans will elect a parliamentary majority at large and president without African coal mines for the
second time in less than a year. No one doubts we could not have imported the energy from any of the coal mines being shuttered by a pro-business government. Our only trouble is the very existence of this political economy now is threatened, for if not it the country would face irreversible carbon costs we shall neither understand today or the climate experts in twenty plus years hence even worse because, just this afternoon some researchers found there may eventually have gone too far
The report says global emissions growth to keep within the internationally recognised safe average 2° C temperature increase target was too far over a century past at 1.2 times
over 1990 to 3.5 at 3 degrees C a lot over a very long run, though the authors make certain the projections could possibly be much higher, a lot quicker rate. However in our era it is difficult as you don't begin thinking from just a century and two months after emissions really grow then get smaller, for those extra carbon savings could then never make up the difference and get reversed because when a society runs an industrial society for about 30 million citizens with low technology levels where just three coal energy producers exist we know they are not likely with high coal prices going and low costs but then when the three were in our history we have got higher emissions plus they did have big, bad price fluctuations which would add all those savings down the line over a period. When I am President there had be something better to put in with my people, there was nowt we all can talk about a carbon market. Then we knew those mines had more carbon content but those big corporations said nothing had changed no government regulation to that to cut and then just a tax and it wasn't about just the taxpayer. Even as we sit here on global warming people talking of a carbon tax as some sort of regulation is something.
