Sinking Pacific island pleads for global warming action

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

A group of atolls and reefs, Tuvalu is home to 10,000. According to one study, the island state could disappear beneath the sea in 30-to-50 years.

Deputy Prime Minister, Tavau Teii says coral reefs are being damaged by the warming ocean, and this threatens fish stocks - the main source of protein.

In addition, the sea is invading underground fresh water supplies and eroding the coastline. As coral reefs die, that protection goes and the risk increases.

Teii said at the current rate the island state’s only alternative would be “to turn ourselves into fish and live under water.”

A day earlier, Sir David King, head of the UK government's Office of Science and Technology, called global warming a greater threat than world terrorism and said an international accord must be reached within two years to mitigate the warming and minimize environmental catastrophe.

About the climate cover-up

About the climate cover-up

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.

There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.

Although all public relations professionals are bound by a duty to not knowingly mislead the public, some have executed comprehensive campaigns of misinformation on behalf of industry clients on issues ranging from tobacco and asbestos to seat belts.

Lately, these fringe players have turned their efforts to creating confusion about climate change. This PR campaign could not be accomplished without the compliance of media as well as the assent and participation of leaders in government and business.
