Historical geographers have recently taken up these concepts from contemporary Environmental History, and when with allied to the concepts of environmental ethics from Radical Ecology and Environmental Studies and nature enclosures from Political Ecology, a novel critique is produced of the role of full conservation units in debates surrounding global climate change. This kind of nature reserve is steeped in bio-centric environmental ethics which distill nature and dispossess native peoples and poor peasants. The latter are considered to be anthropic agents who are criminalized, removed and turned into conservation refugees in order to cleanse the landscape of (poor rural) human presence. Drawing on research undertaken on nature enclosures in three threatened biomes of Brazil, hybrid views of society-nature and actor-network assembly from Relational Geography are used to GUEST AUTHOR Published: 15.03.2020 Published under the terms and conditions of an Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International license.

Because a suitable national consultant was unavailable at that time, SOPAC provided the services of its Energy Adviser. In addition to discussions in Port Vila, there were field trips to visit renewable energy projects (and potential project sites) on the islands of Efate and Espiritu Santo. Unfortunately the head of Government Energy Unit and several other key staff were unavailable for discussions during the mission’s visit. The local offices of the international oil companies were unwilling to provide any information on their product sales, an omission that has hindered some analysis. This report reviews the status of energy sector activities in Vanuatu through February 2004. An earlier draft of this report was reviewed by the Vanuatu National PIREP Committee (the National Advisory Committee on Climate Change), which provided thoughtful, useful and substantive feedback, and by Secretariat Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC), United Nations Development Programme and others.

  • Released Under the Official Information Act 1982
    Page 1 of 3 Document 12 Item of business : Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Bill Submission name : Barbara McKenzie Comments SUBMISSION TO THE CLIMATE CHANGE RESPONSE (ZERO CARBON) AMENDMENT BILL. There is no logic to the "Zero Carbon" bill whatsoever. It flies in the face of all serious scientific evidence - its only function appears to be to please the UN bureaucracy and the elite foundations which are affiliated with and exert considerable influence over that bureaucracy. HUMAN GENERATED CO2 IS NOT CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING There is no evidence that CO2 causes global warming Ice core data indicates that CO2 levels lag warming by hundreds of years, rather than driving it. See e.g Mudelsee (2001, attached), who found that "over the full 420,000 year Vostok history CO2 variations lag temperature by 1,300 years ± 1000". Studies show that the warming period which began in the 1970s, and was the reason for abandoning alarmist claims of a new ice-age in favour of "global warming", eased off around 1998, and scientists are predicting a worrying cooling, even a mini-ice age. In any case: Of total CO2 levels human activity is responsible for 3-5% of atmospheric CO2, while New Zealand's contribution is about 0.1%. Nothing will be achieved by NZ going "zero carbon" when other bigger countriesRELEASED are focused on development UNDER and improving their THE citizens' quality of life - it is pure grandstanding At the same time New Zealand is squandering its credibility which would be better spent drawing attention to real environmental issues. METHANE Undermining New Zealand's dairy industry on the back of the climate hoax is another government target.

In Slow violence response, state authorities are applying military logics, personnel, training, and equipment to protect en- Rhino poaching dangered black and threatened white rhinos. Many suspected poachers are Mozambicans, including those who Poverty are resident in Mozambique’s Limpopo National Park (LNP). Based on a sequence of fieldwork conducted in the Dispossession LNP between 2003 and 2016, we examine the relationship between this extremely tense and armed clash and the Mozambique thousands of already socially and economically marginalized LNP residents targeted for resettlement as part of Limpopo National Park conserving rhino habitat. As they await relocation, the basic human security of residents has become deeply undermined by decreased access to services and environmental resources and the criminalization of their li- velihoods. While much of the critical scholarship on anti-poaching focuses on the spectacular forms of violence that characterize rhino poaching, beneath this a more structural and “slower” form of violence persists. Seeking to develop an understanding of violence that extends beyond the spectacular, we argue that the cumulative losses and instability that have followed conservation created the conditions under which rhino poaching un- folded in the LNP.

He was succeeded by Keith Crook from the Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory. Keith served until the end of 1999 when John Collen from Victoria University became Chairman. STAR was formed as a vehicle to assist the international geoscience community to provide advice to SOPAC, particularly during the intervals between SOPAC International Workshops, the most recent of which was the ENSO Workshop, held in Nadi from 19 to 23 October, 1999.
