3ème document: Al Gore: Still Saving the Planet

Posted by Speakeasy News > Wednesday 27 September 2017 > What's On

Al Gore had been seriously concerned about the environment long before becoming Vice-President in 1993 and then the first presidential candidate in more than a century to win the popular vote but lose the electoral college in 200. In 1989, the then Senator started giving public talks based on a slide show presentation. That gave birth to a book, The Earth in Balance, which became a bestseller.

An Inconvenient Truth was basically Gore’s slideshow in film form. By 2006, he had delivered his talk more than a thousand times, constantly updating it to reflect the most current scientific data. Gore admits he wasn’t convinced the film would work.

But it did, and it gave Gore a platform. He started annual training sessions on his Tennessee farm to create a Climate Reality Leaders Corps of people from all around the world who can give the talk and spread the word. The Corps is now more than 12,000 strong. It’s the opposite of easy “clicktivism”. It’s not making a fancy website or launching an online petition. It’s real people going to talk to other people, convincing them one at a time.

If An Inconvenient Truth was a cry of alarm, An Inconvenient Sequel is more of a pep talk. Yes, says Gore, we still have a major problem, but look at what all you amazing people have been doing about it. Keep up the good work, there’s still lots to do.

In some ways the situation is worse than in 2006. Many of the Gore’s predictions in AIT have come true. An Inconvenient Sequel follows Gore as he visits communities ruined by rising seas and other climatic disasters. But also as he meets people finding creative solutions to the issues.

The centre piece for the film as it screened at the Cannes Film Festival in May was the historic climate agreement reached at the Paris Climate Summit in 2015.

Particularly difficult was persuading newly industrialised developing countries such as India that they need to, in their eyes, sacrifice the advantages the older industrialised nations had had. As Piyush Goyal, India’s Minister of Energy and Power, says to Gore about investing in solar energy: “I’ll do the same thing after 150 years. After I’ve used my coal. After I’ve got my people jobs. After I’ve created my infrastructure …”

At the Paris Summit, Gore managed to persuade India to sign the agreement after brokering help developing their solar energy supply. A happy result. Symbolically, the agreement was signed on Earth Day 2016.

The Fight Goes On
However, since the film’s first screenings, Gore has been deeply disappointed that President Trump has carried through on a campaign promise to pull out of the agreement. The film had to be recut to reflect this new development. As usual, though, Gore’s irrepressible optimism kicks in. Back on pep-talk mode, he compares the sustainability movement to other social movements that slowly but surely reached a tipping point towards change – the abolition of slavery, civil rights, women’s suffrage. And Gore will accompany the Sustainability Revolution every step of the way. Not in a showy way. Quiet but determined. Like the pledge he and the filmmakers urge viewers to sign: “Be Inconvenient”!

4ème document: Donald Trump confirms US will quit Paris climate agreement

World’s second largest greenhouse gas emitter will remove itself from global treaty as Trump claims accord ‘will harm’ American jobs

Donald Trump has confirmed that he will withdraw the US from the Paris climate agreement, in effect ensuring the world’s second largest emitter of greenhouse gases will quit the international effort to address dangerous global warming.

The US will remove itself from the deal, joining Syria and Nicaragua as the only countries not party to the Paris agreement. There will be no penalty for leaving, with the Paris deal based upon the premise of voluntary emissions reductions by participating countries.

“In order to fulfil my solemn duty to the United States and its citizens, the US will withdraw from the Paris climate accord, but begin negotiations to re-enter either the Paris accords or a really entirely new transaction, on terms that are fair to the United States,” the US president told press in the White House rose garden on Thursday

“We will start to negotiate, and we will see if we can make a deal that’s fair,” Trump said. “If we can, that’s great. If we can’t, that’s fine.”

But Italy, France and Germany issued a joint statement shortly after Trump’s speech saying they believed the treaty could not be renegotiated.

Trump told the crowd outside the White House: “The fact that the Paris deal hamstrings the United States while empowering some of the world’s top polluting countries should expel any doubt as to why foreign lobbyists should wish to keep our beautiful country tied up and bound down … That’s not going to happen while I’m president, I’m sorry.”

He added: “I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.”

Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, issued a rare statement saying the new administration had joined “a small handful of nations that reject the future”. But he said that US states, cities and businesses “will step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we’ve got”.

Former vice-president Al Gore called the move “reckless and indefensible”, while among the business leaders to express regret over the move was Jeff Immelt, chair and CEO of General Electric, who said “climate change is real” and “industry must now lead”.

Trump, who spoke after being introduced by a warm-up band playing the George Gershwin classic Summertime, argued that the Paris agreement disadvantaged the US to the benefit of other countries, leaving workers and taxpayers to absorb the costs and suffer job losses and factory closures. As of today, he said, the US will cease implementation of the nationally determined contribution and green climate fund, “which is costing the US a vast fortune”.

In 2015, nearly 200 countries agreed to curb greenhouse gas emissions in order to prevent the runaway climate change that would occur should temperatures spiral 2C or more above the pre-industrial era.

Trump’s decision risks destabilizing the Paris deal, with remaining participants faced with the choice of trying to make up the shortfall in emissions cuts or following the US’s lead and abandoning the agreement.

The US withdrawal would not, though, derail global efforts to fight climate change, said Christiana Figueres, the former UN climate chief who delivered the Paris agreement. “States, cities, corporations, investors have been moving in this direction for several years and the dropping prices of renewables versus high cost of health impacts from fossil fuels, guarantees the continuation of the transition.”

The US will be the loser from its withdrawal, said Prof John Schellnhuber, a climate scientist and former adviser to the EU, Angela Merkel and the pope. “It will not substantially hamper global climate progress but it will hurt the American economy and society alike,” he said. “China and Europe have become world leaders on the path towards green development already and will strengthen their position if the US slips back.

“President Trump is putting his country on the wrong side of history,” said Laurence Tubiana, France’s climate ambassador during the negotiation of the Paris deal.

John Kasich, the governor of Ohio and a frequent critic of Trump, said he shared concerns about “flaws” in the treaty. “I’m convinced we can correct them and improve the agreement, however,” he said, “by showing leadership and constructively engaging with like-minded nations, not by joining the ranks of holdouts like Syria and Nicaragua.”

Bernie Sanders, the leftwing senator and former Democratic presidential hopeful, called the move an “international disgrace” and an “abdication of American leadership”.

But House speaker Paul Ryan, the most senior Republican in Congress, threw his support behind Trump’s decision, saying the Paris accord was “simply a raw deal for America”.

“In order to unleash the power of the American economy, our government must encourage production of American energy,” Ryan said in a statement. “I commend President Trump for fulfilling his commitment to the American people and withdrawing from this bad deal.”

Hundreds of large businesses, including Apple, Google and Walmart, also threw their weight behind the deal, with even fossil fuel firms such as ExxonMobil, BP and Shell supporting the accord as the best way to transition to a low-carbon economy and stave off the perils of climate change.

“It is absolutely essential that the world implements the Paris agreement,” said UN secretary general António Guterres. “If one country decides to leave a void, I can guarantee someone else will occupy it.”

II: Donald trump is withdrawing from the Paris agreement because he says this agreement is unfair and he argued that this puts the US at a disadvantage to another country.
On the subject of the Paris agreement on the climate, Donald puts forward his duty towards the American citizens to justify his decision to withdraw from the agreement. For him, the agreement is to the advantage of other countries, to the detriment of the United States, it is unfair.
Trump says that complying with the terms of the deal would be bad for the US economy, as it would lead to plant closures, lower production, job losses (such as 440,000 jobs in the automotive sector ), because of the imposed energy restrictions. He talks about the financial burden for every American citizen. In addition, Trump wants to withdraw from this agreement, in order to negotiate another agreement that would be more accurate. The conclusion of a new agreement is not at all one of its priorities.
