Global Warming - to U.N. for Global Green Fund ($120 B/y) to save life on Earth
Target:
100,000
Sponsored by:
Created by Anthony Marr, founder and president of HOPE (http://www.hope-care.org/ / http://www.arconference.org/)
To Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary General of the United Nations
Dear Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon,
On April 9, 2008, the Global Conference on Oceans, Coasts and Islands was featured in a newspaper article titled "Oceans warming 4 times faster than predicted", which concluded with: More money must be spent on protecting international waters," and we would add, "the atmosphere, the Arctic and Antarctic, the Amazon rainforest, the Boreal forest, African wildlife, biodiversity, in fact, the entire biosphere itself."
World experts have determined that a Global Green Fund for healing our planet Earth of $120 billion per annum is the bare bone minimum.
Almost shockingly, in this hour of critical planetary need, such a Global Green Fund DOES NOT EVEN EXIST. In contrast, the Global Military Expenditure towers $1.2 trillion per annum, and to what good end?
A mere 10% of it would make the $120 billion Global Green Fund.
As a nature-revering, peace-loving and deeply concerned planetary citizen, in view of the current global environmental crisis in climate change, habitat destruction and species extermination, I am writing to participate with other planetary citizens worldwide in presenting the following proposal:
As overseen by the United Nations, all member nations shall contribute ten percent (10%) of their military budgets, totaling $120 billion per annum approximately, to a U.N.-administered Global Green Fund dedicated to solving the environmental problems of the planet Earth.
Nations may contribute by means of environmental work performed by their military forces (e.g. by using the army for anti-poaching and habitat protection, and the navy for enforcing international laws on the high seas) in lieu of financial contributions.
By this method, there will be no relative loss of military strength for any nation, the world will be 10% safer, and Planet Earth will be 100% greener, and our children's future will be infinitely brighter.
Where the United Nations is concerned, it will finally have a real budget with the real means to heal our planet Earth.
We ask you to please use your influence to facilitate the creation of this Global Green Fund, for saving life on Earth from mass extinction due to global warming and habitat destruction.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours Sincerely,
Anthony Marr, founder and president

Invest in alternative energy and conservation practices now!!! - we have the technology right at our fingertips yet government continues to stall!!!, I shutter to think what dismal future is in store for our planet, what a major travesty it will be if we continue to sit by the wayside!!!, the planetary/environmental complacency ends here – we will not stop until our voice is heard loud and clear!!!, enact an eco-revolution now to take back our planet and become rightful stewards - our planet’s life-line is it’s oceans and ocean preservation is paramount!!!, the proposed military intervention is what we must resort to - brute force is necessary to compensate for lax laws which are constantly abused time and time again - all profits made at the environment's expense will be banished forever!!!

The world's leadership is failing not just this generation but every future generation. It is becoming more obvious every day that every eco system on this planet is so delicately balanced with each other that it may already be too late to avoid major changes, life threatening changes to any or all of them. What this means to humanity is that if we can't grow enough edible food, find enough potable water or breath air that doesn't make us ill, we humans may also face extinction or at the least violent and widespread depopulation as a result of war, famine and disease.

Despite wars, terrorists, diseases and deep poverty, the greatest crisis our planet faces is globl warming and its effects. The UN must take the lead in pushing for worldwide reforms to combat this danger.

The statistics of this world's destruction from apathetic practices should be run on our news as the stock stats are. Inaction equates to Apathy. Continued apathy will lead to the mass suicide of Earth and Humanity. It's just that simple.

The signs are all around us, they are becoming harder and harder to ignore. Global Warming is a very real threat! This small percentage that is being asked could quite literally save the world! Consider this money well spent!!! If we do not do something NOW to help reverse the damage we have done, money won't mean anything, because there will be no future for any of us!

We need to invest in greener technologies. This will not only provide jobs and save money, it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our planet needs saving, it is up to us! Our government needs to step up to the plate and make green decisions in our best interest!

With time not on our side, the only solution to the global warming crisis likely to have an impact is to invent new technologies capable of extracting greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere. This will require a source of funding not available anywhere else. Please help; the creation of a global green fund is our best chance.

Species of plants and animals are voiceless and are discounted in our partisan debates over how to deal with, or even whether to deal with, global warming, yet they suffer the impacts far faster than most of us humans. I weep.

Right-wingers will shriek about this being a move towards a global government. However, we already have a global government and it's not working for anyone except corporations. Far better to have the U.N. run the show than the criminals in Washington.

It's time for all the countries of the world to step up and take action. We are all at fault so let's all work together to fix it! It may seem like a lot of money but the money you save by not taking action doesn't do much good when we're all dead!

Mr. Anthony Marr has an excellent plan of action which he has started to act on. We must all come together and try and help this gentleman. He is well versed in the field of global warming and is doing his best to try and save Earth Mother. If possible, go to his seminars; you will learn much. I completely agree with Mr. Marr that if each nation were to provide 10% of their military budget towards helping the environment, the goal of saving the planet can be accomplished.

It is time that we as a people practice a responsible stewardship of our planet by taking responsibility for the very obvious insults received at our hands, making right on past wrongs and striving to tailor our progress toward sustainable, clean energy, responsible management\allocation of crops and food stuffs. To that end we need to unify our goal of minimizing\offsetting earlier environmental damage with concrete goals that al participants can work in acheiving.

If we all dont act Together, we as humanity will suffer the consequences of not taking action and doing out part. Hundereds of Billions go into War and defense contracts or 10% of it to help save the world. This is a no brainer. Our World Leaders must act fast or face devastating results that will tarnish humanity permanently.

The fishing practices of the world are appalling. Long-lining and bottom-trawling should be banned because of the amount of bycatch that wastes the resouces of our oceans. Funds should be allocated to replacing these practices with ones that will conserve the living creatures of the oceans.

Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. During the dry season millions of people and animals along the Andes mountains depend on their glaciers for the water they use. Already in 5 years water scarcity will be severe. Along the Himalayas 3 billion people and all its animals depend on the water from its glaciers which will be scarce or gone within a few decades or less. We must prepare immediately or we'll face a disaster as never seen before.
