Many thanks vigilant reporter Jeff,

while over here in Southbourne 4.8.29.;

I can report the usual long queues outside the Coop, the only local store open, are now getting restive as they see only one lorry has arrived to refill the empty shelves. Several folk have fainted in the overbearing, incinerating heat.

There is a rumour that there might be a meat delivery later in the day and the police are arriving, heavily armed, to keep things under control.

Meanwhile the damaged and looted shops in Seabourne Road are being patrolled by armed guards.

Surviving schoolchildren from fire-damaged Pokesdown School are being taken to the local community hall in Norwood Road where the Churches Together community have organised a meal kindly donated by local growers and hunters. Apple, plum and blackberry donations are being supplemented by pre-cooked squirrels, rats, foxes and seagulls.

With the lack of available water in our homes the community is asked to kindly use the compost toilet facilities being opened in Fisherman's Walk and Woodland Walk.

The blanket, toiletries and soap queue in Woodside Road adjacent to the current compost toilet in the parking area is getting longer as I watch.

The public is warned that with the imminent failure of the Gulf Stream we may be plunged into Arctic conditions this winter and people must brace themselves. Everyone is advised to watch out for vulnerable elderly and disabled neighbours, and to prepare for icy conditions as best they can.

What a tragedy that our policy-makers did not act to prevent the spiralling disasters of hunger and destitution we now face when they could.

Susan Chapman reporting from Southbourne High Street.

Back to 4.8.22:

Planetary Crises: TheyWorkForYou - or not

Has anyone seen any concern about our crises on their MP's website/ Facebook page? A Public Information Programme on how to Salvage and Survive?

What about in the libraries, in BCP literature, on any council website or Facebook page?

What does your bank say about investing in clean energy, batteries and insulation?

Please let me know, thanks. SC

RIGHT TO A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT

Last week, the UN (United Nations) formally recognised the 'right to a healthy environment’. This is a major breakthrough for legislators and policymakers on climate and nature, and a wake-up call for business and governments.

Throughout ClientEarth’s 15 years of action, we’ve used the power of the law to fight for people’s right to a healthy environment. Even though this new resolution is not legally binding, we will be able to use it to strengthen our legal interventions to help vulnerable communities around the world.

We have taken governments to court over clean air and inaction on climate change – and none of this would happen without your support.

We’re using the law to uphold everyone’s human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment, here are some of our current projects:

Helping the indigenous people of the Torres Strait Islands, who face losing their homes due to sea level rise, to bring a complaint against the Australian Government over their lack of inaction on climate change.

Challenging the Polish Government over their inaction on climate change with five Polish citizens affected by extreme weather.

Supporting local communities to protect nature-hotspot, Atewa Forest, from the Ghanaian government's decision to allow the extraction of millions of tonnes of bauxite which would threaten people’s access to clean water and destroy the forest ecosystem they rely on.
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Biodiversity collapsing- but Defra 😈 fails to publish data.

Conservationist Mark Avery, co-founder of non-profit organisation Wild Justice, says: “Defra is failing to tackle wildlife loss and so it has decided to bury the evidence. This is a department with no shame.”

The naturalist and broadcaster Chris Packham says: “Cherry-picking which ones is just cowardice. Claiming that they need a pause at a time of absolute crisis, that’s like saying we’ll stand down the fire brigade in the middle of the Blitz so we can pull ourselves together and think about what we’re doing. It’s ludicrous. I think principally it’s because the news that will emerge is bad news.”

CLIMATE- LESS THAN THREE YEARS FOLKS

Decarbonisation at Speed and Scale please.

Scientists working for the world’s leading authority on climate change have warned that less than three years remain to bring global emissions into decline and avert a “catastrophic” temperature rise.

The “now or never” call to action from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), published on Monday, also urged for emission levels to be slashed in half by 2030.

At a press conference, UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres called investing in new infrastructure relating to fossil fuels, which are behind the continuing rise in planet-heating greenhouse gases, “moral and economic madness”.

Meanwhile we need the whales to keep circulating the nutrients needed for up to 70% of the oxygenation of our planet. This environmental illiteracy (or mindless stupidity) hits us all:

Whales are intelligent, unique and irreplaceable.

But due to whaling, overfishing, and climate change, at least 5 of the 13 whales species are now listed as endangered.

These larger-than-life marine mammals are in dire need of our help, and without immediate action, whales could be gone within our lifetime.

Good Morning Cllrs

Please can I report re ninth week of drought in England that our street water tap Upper Parkstone is running dry and the water tanker was five hours late yesterday. The queue stretched for 400 yards along Ashley Road.

Drought UK

I know central Bournemouth is flooded from the last flash flooding - astonishing isn't it - dreadful the sewage drains backing up. And even worse in Poole with as we all know the whole of Lower Parkstone flooded. But we do need drinking water.

Flooded Bournemouth

And of course Christchurch - how dreadful. Who'd think we'd end up having to move and re-house so many. Climate refugees in our own country.

Do any Cllrs now reflect we could have done vastly more?

We have been warned and warned and warned for thirty years. World science spelling out the horror of man made climate destruction running out of all control.

Yet between you all BCP Cllrs you did absolutely nothing of worth did you for twenty years.

You destroyed the prospect of Navitus IGWatt clean energy wind farm which Cllr Mike Greene considers one of his finest achievements. Not a crime against human survival. Any thoughts in that direction completely lost on the man. Despite a degree from Oxford did not grasp the looming horror that now overwhelms our towns, our country, and the world.

Cllr Mike no to offshore
wind Greene

And no mass tree planting programme.

No large scale work to put an end to mass tourism mass pollution in our towns.

Bringing in high power military jets because they make ear piercing roaring vroom vroom noises. How utterly pathetic. The world in climate melt-down - mass word-wide droughts - and our deeply intransigent council refused year on year to make any serious changes.

Cllr Beverley Dunlop

Letter below from June 2022 - the litter issue. As said seven years ago if we cannot deal with this "trivia" how will we ever deal with climate.

Your track record BCP council on climate and environment is appalling. Every time you gave highest priority to mass tourism - without exception. Mass tourism mass consumption. We get in the end what we deserve - mass destruction of our environment and climate.

Clearly major civil action is needed and urgently to get BCP and government to address the most serious overwhelming issues of our age.

Letter Bournemouth Echo - August 2022 :

Litter a sign the nation has catastrophically lost its way

Spot on headline from B'mouth Echo - although they left out the first line.

"What a dense country we live in.

Not what anyone wants to say of their own country but where are we in this country with the litter issue headlining in local media yet again (Echo August 2 - "Zero Litter FPNs") rolling on unresolved, decade after decade, back to 1950s "Keep Britain Tidy"?

If we cannot deal with a very simple issues such as litter disposal how on planet earth have we any hope of dealing with the huge climate issues?

Dealing with litter is simple and straight forward. All the northern European countries from Holland to Germany to Scandinavia deal with it, not even an issue of concern. Quite simply clean nations.

But here in UK we have become have we not a mass consumption pig-like nation.

For UK government legislation would be a very good start putting returnable deposits on all disposable fast food wrappings, cans, bottles, fag packets, the list goes on. Putting the cost and work of dealing with mass polluting trash back onto the manufacturers and retailers.

But all we have locally is BCP Cllrs wringing their hands year after year telling us FPN fines are "very challenging". All one saying they do not work, we have no other ideas. We have not a clue what to do. But we will continue to pull in millions of mass polluting tourists year on year.

And a new PM on the way - Liz Truss. Be very sure all these issues will get all the worse many times over. You can be sure all efforts to stem sewerage pumping into our rivers and coastal waters will end. Liz Truss all one with Thatcherism "the market knows best". The way forward undermine and destroy regulation and enforcement.

One highly motivated ideologue copying what she thinks worked in the 1980s - selling off UK infrastructure and utilities to foreign corporations - leading on then, as Brexit insanity in 2016, to mass destruction of our country.

Any doubt on that check out soaring cost of living, mass shortage of workers, airports, NHS, agriculture, service industries, soaring cost of energy, huge delays at airports and ports, NHS waiting lists running into years, the list goes on and on. Mass litter pollution but one horror symptom of a nation that has catastrophically lost its way."

Oh yes- so they will Zoe,

Looks like that battery-powered solarised, wind- driven Ark will be needed sooner rather than later!

We'll have to make sure the woodworm don't escape of course. And do we have some teams of athletic Olympian rowers to power us along speedily to the nearest safe harvest store? There will be a bit of a Solent Green feel to that alas.

And once the cliffs start collapsing we'll all need a lot more help,

Still looking forward to hearing from VERY QUIET representatives with VERY SILENT Facebook pages and ECHOINGLY ABSENT websites about cunning plans to Salvage and Survive while we can. Perhaps they have a deal with SpaceX & the James Webb Relocation Agency for another good-looking planet now we've trashed this one 🤬🤑👺.

Tobias Ellwood's website says: "It was a pleasure to visit the Barclays Eagle Lab in Bournemouth last week. Having visited before, it was great to see how it has expanded to help entrepreneurs with more tools and resources."

Perhaps Mr Ellwood you could explain what tools and resources we will need for the Anthropocene.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Susan Chapman (usual address)

Unfortunately you might be right... but you left off that many in southbourne will be housing residents from christchurch whose homes are underwater. Eek!

Dear All,

I continue to ask our extraordinarily silent representatives; how do we avoid drought and hunger?

There's NO PUBLIC INFORMATION from any official sources.

Nothing on MP's websites nor Facebook pages, nor from BCP who are embarrassingly and regularly in Private Eye.

Some MPs are backing nuclear that just cannot work in hot conditions (deaths of tens of thousands of elderly in France, 2003).

They are also pretending that carbon capture and storage is a good idea.

This is hopeless leadership when we know there are solutions.

Disgraceful negligence. No plan for our protection.

Yet anachronistic, incineratory projects continue to be supported with our money.

Here are some Facebook posts today from colleagues who do want to keep us breathing and eating,

Susan Chapman

Facebook:

I have massive respect for the diligence and effort that Jonathan N Fuller puts into the media reporting of climate breakdown.

Today this is how The Sun reports on the impact of drought on potato yields. I have also copied a Euronews item on the impact of drought in Romania, Italy and France.

The warning signs are clear - climate breakdown will eventually bring famine to Europe.

The UK's Committee on Climate Change has warned politicians but they just aren't paying attention: -

https://www.theccc.org.uk/.../09-climate-change-risk.../

More here: -

https://theconversation.com/uk-drought-are-farmers-facing...

Here's an item by Andrew Neil in The Mail today, an item on a hard-right politician in Spain and the Telegraph leader comment on XR.

These show that the hard-right of politics aligns itself with opposition against energy efficiency and Net-Zero. Indeed Andrew Neil equates support for Net-Zero with opposition to Brexit and grammar schools. He goes further linking environmental concern with support for wider progressive issues like LGBT rights and BLM.

As Liz Truss looks set to lead the Conservative Party we can expect to see more of this hate directed at the young. But the people are fighting back!
