Dr. Hermann Ott, Mary Anne Hitt, Jutta Kill And Dr. Arjun Makhijani.
In September of 2007 the International Forum on Globalization held a Teach in Washington DC on climate change, peak oil and global resource depletion & extinction. <http://www.ifg.org>
Several Panel meetings addressed the many false solutions to the climate crisis that may be accelerating the danger rather than alleviating it. Coal for example is now promoted as a substitute for oil and promises for the capture of the carbon are made that are not yet possible with current technologies and may never be available on a large scale.
Dr. Hermann Ott is head of the Berlin office of the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy. He is the co-author of the book: The Kyoto Protocol International Climate Policy for the 21st Century. From the Appalachian mountains came Mary Anne Hitt. She lives and works at the center of one of the large unreported ecological tragedies of out time. In surface mines, some the size of New York’s Manhattan, whole mountain ranges are blown off to strip mine the coal. Mary Anne Hitt is Executive Director of Appalachian Voices. Go to their web site at <http://www.appvoices.org>and to a sister web site <http://www.Ilovemountains.org>. There you can see aerial photos of the Appalachian mines and photos of the forests, streams and mountains before they were demolished.
Jutta Kill is a climate campaigner and activist for FERN, an NGO based in Europe. A participant in the Durban Group’s critique of carbon trading she eloquently describes how the system favors large corporations and will prevent a transition to renewable energy production. Dr. Arjun Makhijani argues against the resurgence of nuclear power. He holds a Ph.D. in engineering, specializing in nuclear fusion, from U.C. Berkeley. He is the principal author of the first study ever done (and completed in 1971) on the energy conservation potential in the U.S. economy.
The speakers were recorded at the Confronting the Global Triple Crisis teach in, organized by the International Forum on Globalization, in Washington DC in September 15, 2007. The teach in was recorded by Conference Recording Services in Berkeley, California <http://www.conferencerecording.com/>.
