"Short Biography of author/illustrator Mr. Quinton Douglass Crawford is a happy educator that was born in Southern California, but now lives in Northern California. Taught in two private schools, in Sefwi Wiawso-Ghana for IFESH, two schools in Shenzhen-China, and proudly throughout the public schools in the FSUSD. His education includes three Associates degrees from Solano Community College, a Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences from Chapman University, Primary Research Methodology Certification from Prof. Manu Ampim, and currently in pursuit of a Masters of Education degree from Concordia University- Nebraska online. Author quickly recovered from a hemorrhagic stroke, seizure and 2-week coma in 2018. Issues slowed down some life goals to teach in several other countries, but he attributes his strong recovery to alignment with SGI-USA, four classes worth of student letters/get well cards of concern from nearby David Weir Academy, staff visits, and multiple-faiths prayers of welfare from family and friends worldwide. Including the vision of my deceased father in heaven ordering me to "go back", while I was in the coma. "

THE EARTH CHARTER

Preamble

We stand at a critical moment in Earth’s history, a time when humanity must choose its future. As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great promise. To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace. Towards this end, it is imperative that we, the peoples of Earth, declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life, and to future generations.

Earth, Our Home

Humanity is part of a vast evolving universe. Earth, our home, is alive with a unique community of life. The forces of nature make existence a demanding and uncertain adventure, but Earth has provided the conditions essential to life’s evolution. The resilience of the community of life and the well-being of humanity depend upon preserving a healthy biosphere with all its ecological systems, a rich variety of plants and animals, fertile soils, pure waters, and clean air. The global environment with its finite resources is a common concern of all peoples. The protection of Earth’s vitality, diversity, and beauty is a sacred trust.

The Global Situation

The dominant patterns of production and consumption are causing environmental devastation, the depletion of resources, and a massive extinction of species. Communities are being undermined. The benefits of development are not shared equitably and the gap between rich and poor is widening. Injustice, poverty, ignorance, and violent conflict are widespread and the cause of great suffering. An unprecedented rise in human population has overburdened ecological and social systems. The foundations of global security are threatened. These trends are perilous—but not inevitable.

The Challenges Ahead

The choice is ours: form a global partnership to care for Earth and one another or risk the destruction of ourselves and the diversity of life. Fundamental changes are needed in our values, institutions, and ways of living.

We must realize that when basic needs have been met, human development is primarily about being more, not having more. We have the knowledge and technology to provide for all and to reduce our impacts on the environment. The emergence of a global civil society is creating new opportunities to build a democratic and humane world. Our environmental, economic, political, social, and spiritual challenges are interconnected, and together we can forge inclusive solutions.

Universal Responsibility

To realize these aspirations, we must decide to live with a sense of universal responsibility, identifying ourselves with the whole Earth community as well as our local communities. We are at once citizens of different nations and of one world in which the local and global are linked. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of the human family and the larger living world. The spirit of human solidarity and kinship with all life is strengthened when we live with reverence for the mystery of being, gratitude for the gift of life, and humility regarding the human place in nature.

We urgently need a shared vision of basic values to provide an ethical foundation for the emerging world community. Therefore, together in hope we affirm the following interdependent principles for a sustainable way of life as a common standard by which the conduct of all individuals, organizations, businesses, governments, and transnational institutions is to be guided and assessed.

At the Paris climate conference (COP21) in December 2015, 195 countries adopted the first-ever universal, legally binding global climate deal. A Start towards the right direction…

Flag of the United Nations, 2020.

The first agreement sets out a global action plan to put the world on track to avoid dangerous climate change by limiting global warming to well below 2°C.

The agreement is due to enter into force in 2020.

Key elements

The Paris Agreement is a bridge between today’s policies and climate-neutrality before the end of the century.

Mitigation: reducing emissions

Governments agreed

a long-term goal of keeping the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels;

to aim to limit the increase to 1.5°C, since this would significantly reduce risks and the impacts of climate change;

on the need for global emissions to peak as soon as possible, recognizing that this will take longer for developing countries;

to undertake rapid reductions thereafter in accordance with the best available science.

Before and during the Paris conference, countries submitted comprehensive national climate action plans (INDCs). These are not yet enough to keep global warming below 2°C, but the agreement traces the way to achieving this target.

Governments agreed to

come together every 5 years to set more ambitious targets as required by science;

report to each other and the public on how well they are doing to implement their targets;

track progress towards the long-term goal through a robust transparency and accountability system.

Adaptation

Governments agreed to

strengthen societies’ ability to deal with the impacts of climate change;  

provide continued and enhanced international support for adaptation to developing countries.  

Loss and damage

The agreement also

recognizes the importance of averting, minimizing and addressing loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change;

acknowledges the need to cooperate and enhance the understanding, action and support in different areas such as early warning systems, emergency preparedness and risk insurance.

Support

The EU and other developed countries will continue to support climate action to reduce emissions and build resilience to climate change impacts in developing countries.

Other countries are encouraged to provide or continue to provide such support voluntarily.

Developed countries intend to continue their existing collective goal to mobilise USD 100 billion per year until 2025 when a new collective goal will be set.

Lima-Paris Action Agenda

This initiative of the Peruvian and French COP Presidencies brought countries, cities, businesses and civil society members together to accelerate cooperative climate action in support of the new agreement.

EU’s role

The EU has been at the forefront of international efforts towards a global climate deal.

Following limited participation in the Kyoto Protocol and the lack of agreement in Copenhagen in 2009, the EU has been building a broad coalition of developed and developing countries in favour of high ambition that shaped the successful outcome of the Paris conference.

The EU was the first major economy to submit its intended contribution to the new agreement in March 2015. It is already taking steps to implement its target to reduce emissions by at least 40% by 2030.

Next steps

The agreement will be deposited at the UN in New York and opened for signature for one year on 22 April 2016.

The agreement will enter into force after 55 countries that account for at least 55% of global emissions have deposited their instruments of ratification.

Re-engagement by the United States of America in 2021 will be essential with advancements building off the prior agreement.

Acceptance and enlistments of new and burgeoning beneficial technological assistance to each efficient effort must be immediately engaged.

In this time of human technologies we are very aware of the general reliance on the stable production and distribution of electricity.

Most nations are very aware of the potentials of non-fossil-fuel reliant energy production including geo-thermal, dams, nuclear fission, solar panels, and wind.

Advancements in Thorium use, tidal wave, and nuclear fusion, normal motion and other technologies power generations need further perfection and educated acceptance. Zero greenhouse gas emissions can now be reached within 10 years by any country.

Reforestastion and other environmental restorations can be commenced and or added too immediately.

It is a deliberately slow and inadequate move against the damages humans are doing to the planet and its life. The nations of this world have the full ability to transform to live with nature, transform to non-polluting sustainable renewable energy reliance, completely end species declines, and much more within the time frame of one decade worldwide.

The Climate Protectors Program

Climate Protectors is a network of individual climate activists and climate action groups which work for climate solutions in their personal lives and in their local communities. Created by the Sierra Club’s Sonoma Group and sponsored by the Club’s Redwood Chapter, climate protectors work to inspire and support community-based climate action throughout the Redwood Chapter’s nine-county region of northwestern California.

Our Motto is: Inspiring community-based climate action

Our Mission is: To inspire, enable and mobilize teams of informed grassroots volunteers to demand, facilitate, measure and enforce the bold local policies and personal actions needed to cut current greenhouse gas emissions and naturally sequester prior emissions in time to meet U.N. targets for preventing climate catastrophe.

As climate protectors, we educate ourselves about climate science and learn how to counter climate denial. We work in a spirit of inclusivity and respect, being open to self-transformation through our climate action. Climate protectors walk our talk by assessing our own carbon footprint and finding ways to reduce our impact upon the climate. And we work for local climate solutions in many ways, including:

Personal Action – Climate protectors reduce their own carbon footprints while influencing their families, friends and neighbors to do so as well.

Community Assessment – Understand the local community’s GHG inventory, if one exists; help build support for one to be created if not. Determine local climate a’ction priorities.

Allied Groups – Identify other local climate groups and find common ground, participating in shared efforts where possible for maximum impact. Build coalitions, share information.

Public Sector Action – Develop relationships with key decision makers, influence climate policy and ensure it translates into sustained, measurable, significant climate action.

Schools and Colleges – Call for curricula that are informed by accurate climate science. Help students, teachers, parents and administrators achieve climate action goals.

Private Sector Action – Encourage businesses and organizations to become local climate role models, highlight private sector climate leaders with positive public recognition.

Raise Awareness – Help communities become aware of local climate impacts and solutions. Nurture a shared commitment to real climate solutions at the community level.

Build on Success – Identify what works and replicate it, within the community where possible, sharing lessons learned with other Climate Protector Groups and climate allies.

The Climate Protectors organization is built around the following roles:

Climate Protector – individual volunteer working for local climate action

Local Climate Groups – community-based groupings of climate activists

Climate Group Leaders – leaders of local groups coordinate local climate action

New Volunteer Welcomers – direct contact and onboarding of new volunteers

New Volunteer Coordinator – oversees new volunteer sign-ups and onboarding

Webmaster – manages and updates website, coordinates site information gathering

Steering Committee – guides overall program, members include Group Leaders

Program Director – manages program under guidance of Steering Committee

Climate Protectors use this process to recruit climate activists and bring them on board:

A) Ongoing outreach to find volunteers – direct them to Climate Protectors website.

B) Volunteer signs up through website, initiating the New Climate Protector Process:

1. Coordinator receives messages, assigns a Welcomer for the new Volunteer.

2. Welcomer sends initial e-mail to new volunteer, asking them for information about themselves and arranging a time for a one-on-one phone call.

3. During initial phone call, Welcomer describes Climate Protectors program and asks volunteer to complete the New Climate Protectors Checklist and report back.

4. Welcomers and Coordinator help new volunteers develop into full Climate Protectors

5. New volunteers are invited to attend regular Climate Protectors meetings.

The Climate Protectors program meeting schedule is:

Monthly online Steering Committee meetings including Group Leaders (1st week)

- Guides overall Climate Protectors program.

- Helps support Group Leaders through coordination and information sharing.

Monthly online General meetings including all Climate Protectors (2nd week)

- Provides coordination and inclusion for all Climate Protectors.

- Fixed agenda, may have special discussion topic, action reports, Q&A session.

Monthly Group meetings, online or in person (3rd or 4th week of the month)

- Focuses upon climate issues and action in each Group’s local region.

- What is working, what is missing, what are local allied organizations doing?

Annual Climate Protectors Convention, in-person if possible.

Elements of the Climate Protectors Program infrastructure include:

Curriculum development – climate science & climate action materials

Website with curriculum, technical information, and group organizing tools

Google Drive space providing storage and access to working documents

Outreach mechanisms: Chapter Newsletter, website, social media, Club activities

Communications with/between volunteers: FB Groups, Mail Chimp, email lists, Zoom

Struggles to maintain connections with Nature

Relationship between humans, plants and animals Domestic and wild have recently been an integral part of many human cultures. They are essential to human survival. Other than being a significant economic resource, animals has been used to drive happiness and entertainment activities. Most importantly, domestic animals like dogs and cats are sources of security. Many of us have developed an illusion of separation. We often cover ourselves, medicate, or play with nature for comfort.

CHAPTER 1

Disrespect for Nature

Normal Oceanic Currents

(In Danger)

Global Warming has already slowed the North Atlantic Current to critical levels years ago, now guess what?

Earth Pledge:

I pledge allegiance to the Earth and to all the life that it sustains. One planet in our care; irreplaceable, with sustenance and respect for all.

Is the essential North Atlantic Current Gone?

The satellite data of 2010 established and confirmed that the North Atlantic Current (also called the North Atlantic Drift) has slowed or no longer exists and along with it the Norway Current. These two warm water currents are actually part of the same system that has several names depending on where in the Atlantic Ocean it is. The entire system is a key part of the planet’s heat regulatory system; it is what keeps Ireland and the United Kingdom mostly ice free and the Scandinavia countries from being too cold; it is what keeps the entire world from another Ice Age. This Thermohaline Circulation System is now dead in places and dying in others. This ‘river’ of warm water that moves through the Atlantic Ocean is called, in various places, the South Atlantic Current, the North Brazil Current, the Caribbean Current, the Yucatan Current, the Loop Current, the Florida Current, the Gulf Stream, the North Atlantic Current (or North Atlantic Drift) and the Norway Current. Multiple decades of changes to established weather norms are morphing changes in-sync with the rest of nature, are now in progress.

(A Report by Mr. Lord Stirling on August 30th, 2010)

[Remember the movie- The Day After Tomorrow]?

Ocean Currents and Normal Life

The THC Thermohaliene Circulation and chiefly the North Atlantic Current influence the atmosphere above and below water. The jet stream winds in the northern hemisphere greatly affect temperature changes in Asia. Very recently an increase due to air temperature has motivated more forest fires in the Russia/Siberia zone, flooding of Pakistan, and China. Some flooding could have been prevented if those nations did not destroy or damage the native natural habitats. In Europe the disturbance is shown in parts of the middle of the continent in the form of increased flooding, and southern Germany now looks more like it should in November during the month of September. Snow is now falling a month earlier than normal, and gradually starting earlier in the year.

In the southern hemisphere, much more Antarctic ice is being witnesses floating in the ocean near Australia and the southern tips of the continents. If nature is not capable of restoring the stream, the results will be disastrous. North America, Asia, and Europe will get more extreme weather conditions as crops are destroyed. Within an Ice Age, many parts of the world will get very high temperature extremes, droughts, and some will gain huge flooding. This climate change has begun in a gradual pace, but a breaking point will come when dramatic weather phenomena happen. The expected affect will be billions of deaths and a dramatic change in the world food supplies.

The Biosphere is Endangered

The Biosphere (living area) of our Earth is changing in a negative way, which is attributable to the effects of Neo-Eurocentric & Americanization industrial globalization.

The spread of wasteful technologies, whether as stolen, destructive or misappropriated use and suppression of alternative fuel machines have been created with a philosophy that nature is to be controlled. More carbon dioxide is now in the atmosphere than has been in the past 650,000 years. Massive destruction of the earth’s plant-based ecosystems like forests is a major part of the problem. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide, and exhale oxygen. There is a logical reduction of planetary oxygen production by life as plant plankton, rainforests, and conifer forests are being destroyed by human activities. Check- https://www.oxygenlevels.org/

As many plants are being killed by bad, poorly raised, and less intelligent humans, the amount of plants that keep CO2 to a minimum & Oxygen at a high healthy level is decreasing. This carbon stays in the atmosphere as a thin blanket that holds in a moderate amount of heat. The levels of CO2 have been increasing, tending the name ‘global warming.’ The reason we exist on this planet is because the earth naturally traps just enough heat in the atmosphere to keep the temperature within a very narrow range creating the conditions that give us breathable air, clean water, and the weather we depend on to survive. People that have centered their lives around the European & American technologies over the past 200 years have tended to disturb the natural balance of their lives. Extreme temperature changes; a 50ft(plus) rise in ocean levels, many category 4 and 5 hurricanes, super thunderstorms, extended high temperature season days, and a quadrupling of seasonal tornado’s in naturally common & uncommon places are expected.

https://www.oxygenlevels.org/, (2020)

The North Atlantic Current is actually on a critical verge of being altered to Ice Age inflicting activity. Those that have become complacent about the death dealers of life on Earth should be dunked into the center of an ocean for an hour. What would happen if the North Atlantic Current should stop or change direction? What would happen if the North Atlantic Current should stop or change direction? In its present normal state, the North Atlantic Current carries warm seawater and thus heat from equatorial latitudes all the way to Baffin Sea and the Arctic Ocean. On the way, it releases warmth into the atmosphere from the waters surface. This means that the sea in the North Atlantic is relatively warm and the weather in Western Europe and Iceland is mild in relation to the latitude, much milder than regions at similar latitudes in the North Pacific or on the east coast of North America.

https://www.sealevels.org/, (2020)

Research during the past decades has shown that the North Atlantic Current has changed in geo-historical times. Sea temperatures today are estimated to be 7 °C higher than in the ice age and air temperature is 10 °C higher. Drill cores from the Greenland ice cap and cores from sea bed sediment have been used to conclude that fluctuations between warm and cold periods during an ice age are caused by changes in the sea currents in the North Atlantic, particularly with relation to the process called Thermohaline Circulation (Underwater). Most surface currents in oceans are related to prevailing air currents at the oceans’ surface. Thermohaline circulation is a global ocean circulation where relatively warm saline water flows north via the North Atlantic (the Gulf Stream) and transfers heat to the atmosphere.

This process cools the seawater, causing its water density with greater mineral salinity. Some scientists believe that the stoppage of the Gulf Stream would probably happen in three to five years from October 2003, as a theory. But what they didn’t know was it was beginning at the actual time of the release of their report. The change of shape of the Gulf Stream is the beginning of the breakdown and stoppage of this warm water current and an anti-naturally produced action that will end much of current day civilization.

Evidence/ Radical current effects of climate change

1988- Summer U.S.: a severe drought and heat wave killed an estimated 8,000–10,000 people, including heat stress-related deaths.

2000- Spring–Summer, Worldwide: severe drought and heat killed an estimated 20,000 people.

2002- March: Breakup of the Larsen Ice Shelf, Antarctica.

2003- May–June: a month long intense heat wave claimed more than 53,500 lives worldwide.

2006- July 16–25, California: a two-week heat wave killed at least 160 people.

2007-August: Up to 500 people are estimated to have died across Hungary

2009- The U.S. had 291, 237 record heat waves.

2010- 113 degrees in Los Angeles, California on September 28th.

2010- 129 degrees in Pakistan on June 1st.

June 2010 was so far, the hottest month ever recorded on our planet, post the last ice age.

On February 6, 2020, weather stations recorded the hottest temperature on record for Antarctica. Thermometers at the Esperanza Base on the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula reached 18.3°C (64.9°F)

2020 May- Uttarakhand forest fires of India

In June 2020, well inside the Arctic circle, Verkhoyansk hit a temperature of 100.4 °F

Fires are releasing record levels of carbon dioxide and Methane, partly because they are burning ancient peatlands that have been a carbon sink.

Some noticeable effects of global warming

Slow, gradual sea level rise due to melting glaciers and the thermal expansion of the oceans as global temperature increases

Massive releases of greenhouse gases from melting permafrost and dying forests.

Growing risks of more extreme weather events such as heat waves, droughts and floods. Current incidences of drought have doubled since 1976.

Severe impacts on a regional level. Increasing numbers of category 3 & 4 hurricanes. Raising potentials for category 5 mega hurricanes. In Europe, river flooding will soon increase over much of the continent, and in coastal areas the risk of flooding, erosion and freshwater wetland loss may increase substantially.

Natural systems, including glaciers, coral reefs, mangroves, arctic ecosystems, alpine ecosystems, boreal forests, tropical forests, prairie wetlands, native grasslands, and even deserts are severely threatened.

Un-natural human relational behavior with the environment is now also compounded with species extinction and biodiversity loss, with global climate damage.

Potential for retaliation from the indigenous peoples of Africa, Asia, the America’s, and the Pacific against European and descendant people may grow as they could be viewed as the main parasites of the earth.

Longer term catastrophic effects if warming continues

Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet melting. Unless checked, warming from emissions may trigger the irreversible meltdown of the Greenland ice sheet in the coming decades, which would add up to seven meters of sea-level rise, over some centuries; there is new evidence that the rate of ice discharge from parts of the Antarctic mean that it is also at risk of meltdown.

The Atlantic Gulf Stream current slowing, shifting or shutting down, having dramatic effects on virtually all continents, and disrupting the global ocean circulation system;

Catastrophic releases of methane from the oceans leading to rapid increases in methane in the atmosphere and consequent warming. Potential radical creation of a new short-term Ice Age. All industrialized nations of the northern hemisphere will cease to exist.

2011-2017 Worldwide: An estimation of 6x more human deaths compared to 1995 are expected.

At the current and growing levels of human population, the only way to prevent exceeding harm to the Earth is for a radical cease of births for 1.8 generations, and/or natural eradication of near 2/3 of the human population. A constructed move could be a measured ending with focus on those noted as parasites of our world, or a natural one with little or no boundaries.

The population
