yebo, izimvume zokuholeleka.ngabe umsizi ongcolisa umoya emkhathini uyaphuma? cha umsizi ongcolisa umoya emkhathini uvele uyangena? ngingakufungela lokho.izinkampani ziyaholeleka ngaphandle kokwenza lutho.njengabezimboni ezingcolisa umoya emkhathini ezithi bezihlele ukuzinweba ngamakhulu amabili amaphesenti kodwa behlisa izinhlelo zabo ngekhulu lamaphesenti. ngokusho kanjalo okungenalusizo, bathola izimvume zokuholeleka – izimvume abangazidayisela abanye ukuze nabo bangcolise kakhulu umoya wasemkhathini! lokhu kungubuphukuphuku!isibalo somkhonyovu siningi futhi emibi kakhulu yenzeka emazweni aseningizimu ahluphekayo lapho izimboni ezinkulu zenza noma yini eziyithandayo, kunoma ubani ezifuna ukwenza kuyena. bese kuthi nemithetho exegayo yenza baqhubeke nokuthola izimvume zokuholeleka ukwenza noma yini.usathane wokuqala kanti okwesibili, ukunikelela kanye nokuholeleka, kwenza lesisimo sibe ngesingenabo ubulungiswa futhi esingenamthelela osizayo. kodwa usathane wokugcina, engimbiza ngokubheka eceleni, ukwenza kube yingozi kakhulu.masibheka nje, zikhona ngempela izixazululo, kodwa lendlela entsha yokuhweba enokuxega kanye nezithembiso zabanemali yenze abantu abaningi bakhohlwe ngezixazululo zangempela.asikasondeli nakancane ngesivumelwano somhlaba wonke ngokuhweba ngomsizi uma siqala sibheka, futhi lokhu ikhona okumayelana nokuhweba. kodwa esikhundleni sokugcizelela ngendlela enobulungiswa, sigijimela ukuhweba kanye nokuholeleka.mayelana nazozonke iznhlobo zokuholeleka ezingamanga, kanye nokunikelela kwabangcolisa umkhathi, kanye nokwehluleka ukubhekana nokungabikhona kobulungiswa mayelana nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu ucabanga ukuthi amazwe aseningizimu angakwazi ukuhlanganyela nathi emhlabeni wonke? ngiyakungabaza lokho. umangabe izincomo zokuhweba zisimisa ukuthi sivale umsizi, lokhu kungukubheka eceleni okunobungozi kakhulu.asidingi ukuthi lamadoda aqhamuke nezindlela ezintsha zezixazululo. thina – kanye nohulumeni bethu – singenza imithetho sizenzele thina.ezweni lakithi, sesinawo umthetho – umthetho womoya ohlanzekile (clean air act) – oqinisekisa ukuthi umsizi ongcolisa umoya wasemkhathini futhi inhlangano emelene nokuhlanzwa kwemvelo ekufanele iwuvale. ngakho--ke silindeni? phambili ngeepa phambili! valani lomsizi!empeleni . umthetho wasemelika mayelana nokuvalwa kanye nokuhweba owathulwa ngo2009 ibukela phansi iclean air act, bese ishiyela abezimakethe ukulungisa lenkinga. uma ukuvala kanye nokuhweba kwenza buthakathaka ukuthi senze imithetho eqinile, lokhu kungukubheka eceleni.izakhamuzi zomhlaba ezinakekelayo ngalenkinga kufanele ziphumele obala futhi ziphoqe ukuthi kwenziwe kabusha iminotho ezosiyekisa ukusebenzisa izimpahla zemvelo. kodwa ukuvala kanye nokuhweba kwenza izakhamuzi zicabange ukuthi yonke into izolunga uma sishayela kancane, sishintsha amalambu kamandla kagesi bese kuthi lamadoda aqhubeke nokunye. uma ukuvala kudala intuthuko engamanga, indlela eyingozi le yokubheka eceleni.lezizincomo zokuvala nokuhweba indlela nje yokuqhubeka nezamabhizinisi.njengamanje, imelika ixhasa amandla ezimpahla zemvelo kakhulu kunezimpahla eziphindwa zisetshenziswe. ini! akufanele ngabe sixhasa izimpahla zamandla emvelo nhlobo!lamadoda ungathi awaboni ukuthi indlela elula ukugcina umsizi uphephile emhlabathini.isikhulu sezombusazwe sasemelika,urick boucher, ongumngani omkhulu wezimboni zamalahle yena uvotela ukuvala nokuhweba. uthi lokhu “kuqinisekisa izimboni ukuthi ziqhubeke nokusebenzisa amalahle”.akukho mthetho oncoma ukusetshenziswa kwamalahle ongavimba ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu. nhlobo.ukuvala, imithetho eqinile, ukusukuma kwezakhamuzi, kanye nezimali zomsizi ukuze sikhokhe izikweletu zokungcolisa imvelo kanye nokudala kabusha ezinye izindlela zomnotho wamandla ahlanzekile, ilokhu okungenza sisindise ikusasa lethu.uma ngesikhathi esizayo kukhona othi ukuvala nokuhweba ikona okungcono kakhulu, ungabakholwa neze. empeleni okungcono ukhulume nabo. ngoba kungase kwenzeke ukuthi nabo bafuna ikusasa elivikelekile mayelana nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. mhlawumbe sebekhohliwe--nje ukuthi awukwazi ukuthengisa ngesixazululo esingeke sabasebenzela.ngiyazi ukuthi sonke ngeke sathanda ukunikela ngalutho, ukuvikela umkhathi futhi sibe izigwili sisenza lokho. lena inkinga enkulu abantu basemhlabeni aseke bakhekana nayo.angeke siyiguqule nglowomqondo – ngomqondo wabo-- osifake kulenkinga kwasekuqaleni. sidinga okusha.ngeke kube lula, kodwa isikhathi sokuthi sibe namaphupho amakhulu. isikhathi sokuqhamuka nesixazululo sokushintsha kwesimo sezulu okuzosebenza ngempela.climate protest photoscjn activistcl london 5 dec 1london 5 dec 2cl london 5 dec 3cl london 5 deccl manila 7 decclimate protest news part 1climate protest news part 2free web counters back"
