RobertMuller.org| Contact| Sub Biography| World Core Curriculum | Store |Facebook | Twitter GMW Blogs: English | Portuguese | ~ Idea 6034~ At long last in the year 2003 a wave of
concern has
arisen for the
first serious
climatic
changes
affecting
planet Earth
and humanity.
They are due
to the
increase of
the world
population
from 2.5
billion in
1952 to 6.3
billion now,
to the
concentration
of populations
in big cities
and to the
increase of
human
industries and
transportation
which pollute
the air. The
US and the
USSR say that
they cannot
take measures
because they
would effect
adversely
their
economies.
Well, when I succeeded to convene the first UN world conference on climatic changes in 1979 I was considered crazy, as I was when I recommended to Sweden to convene the first UN world conference on the environment in 1972. It took fifteen years to obtain a second conference in which the climate problem was beginning to be recognized as a ‘potential threat’ by governments. Then there was a third conference, not under the United Nations auspices, of a number of key governments in 2000 which confirmed finally the possible threat of climatic changes. Now in the year 2003 the World Health Organization informed the world of the number of deaths due to climatic changes, namely 150,000 people, and predicted that the temperature of the planet will further increase by one to three and a half percent by the year 2100. As regards world population, the UN forecasts for 2050 an increase of the world population from 6.3 billion to 8.91 billion (3.05 billion more in the poor countries and 40 million less in the rich countries). These are very fundamental problems which will face humanity in the decades to come. They might become emergencies while billions of dollars are being spent on atomic weapons, on launching outer space vehicles into the universe, including for tourism, and on many other senseless activities. The sixtieth anniversary session of the United Nations in 2005 must be a great, most vocal, historic, eyes, heart and minds opening world event. Volume II - The Art of Personal Happy Living Chapter 10 - Of Dreams, Visions and Ideals I hope that some day somewhere on this planet there will be a University of Dreams, Ideals, Visions and Prophecies. *
