What are they, a Carbon tax on products produced by old technologies, using Carbon emissions. Those products subject to a Carbon Tax are Iron, cement, fertilizer, aluminum and electricity.

TheVoiceOfJoyce After 20 years of zero progress, 193 Nations may be serious about humanity’s long term survival. If our Nations are able to reclaim 30% of the land and ocean mass, the biodiversity target of 1.5 degrees Celsius is doable. To reach this goal, there must be decisions on equitable distribution of land, careful to preserve the Indigenous people’s way of life! The COP 15 agenda, with an immediate implementation, includes: reduction in pesticides, prevention of 1 million extinctions, reduction & repurposing of Government subsidies by $500 Billion by year 2025, curtailing plastic pollution and invasive species and adding 1 billion hectares (2.47 billion acres) of Nature restoration through re-wilding Globally.

Heat deaths are up 36% from last year and people being evicted and forced to live on the streets is partially causal. The number of people forced out of homes by rising rents, has risen to 1000’s. Honolulu has a similar problem and they’re looking at all the factors contributing to heat deaths with a target of Zero deaths. They’re looking at all the factors leading to heat death: lack of affordable housing, homelessness, substance abuse, inflation,inadequate shade. After assessing the data, Honolulu will provide solutions to reach Zero heat deaths. Community heat deserts can be alleviated with Community involved plantings during cooler months. Cities can negotiate a moratorium on evictions during these economically difficult times. The poor vulnerable heat extremes disproportionately more than those living in more gentrified areas.

TheVoiceOfJoyce This will be one of many cases against Meta/Facebook and other Social Media platforms. When we agree to their terms, are we protecting our rights to privacy or are we signing our rights away. Facebook and the other media platforms make money from our data. They sell our data. That is their business model. Would we know what we read, when we signed, I agree? Do we want control over our data? I think we do. I don’t want to be targeted for goods and services relentlessly, do you? Nor do I want to be manipulated politically? Do you? Remember a 100,000 ads were targeted to Trump followers in 2016.
