Demand for energy not sustainable, IEA warns
Nov 7 2005
New figures, published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) today
(Monday 7th November), show that global emissions of carbon dioxide
look set to rise by 52 per cent by 2030 because of growing energy
demand [1]. Friends of the Earth said the figures showed the urgent
need for international action to tackle climate change by switching to
low carbon energy supplies.
In its World Energy Outlook 2005, the International Energy Agency says
that carbon dioxide emissions will be 52 per cent higher than today by
2030. The IEA's Deputy Executive Director William C. Ramsay warned that
the predicted trends lead to a future "that is not sustainable" and
called for action to "get the planet onto a sustainable energy path."
Friends of the Earth International Climate Campaigner Catherine Pearce
said:
"The predicted growth in carbon emissions shows the urgent need for
countries to switch to clean sustainable energy supplies. Rich
developed countries must lead the way by taking action at home, but
also by helping to finance low carbon technologies in the developing
world. Countries like China will clearly continue to develop rapidly,
but we do not have to compromise development in cutting emissions."
Friends of the Earth is urging governments and other key constituencies
to overcome the obsolete fossil-based energy system and adopt clear,
strong polices towards renewable energy and energy efficiency. The
environmental campaign group is also urging the UK Government to start
at home by instigating annual targets to cut carbon dioxide emissions
on a yearly basis. See www.thebigask.com
Friends of the Earth's International Climate Campaigner Catherine
Pearce said:
"Developing renewable energies such as biomass, wind, tidal, solar and
photovoltaics will have wide-ranging benefits for the entire global
community. They can contribute to security of energy supply, reduce
fuel imports and dependency, cut greenhouse gas emissions and improve
environmental protection. It's time politicians and decision-makers
across the world embraced these technologies for the benefit of us all.

The world's governments have not listened to this message for more than
30 years. So, what's to make them change their collective minds??

Well, it's Friends's of the Earth. et all that guarnteed
the end of the Earth, and destroyed the US so it makes
no difference. Since the
idiots are all Darwin Piltdown fossils, and offer
photovoltaics as the solution to world energy problem.
And the only place crap like photovoltaics
work is the industrial dynamo of Wal-Mart.
