Evo, who was in Japan to sign an agreement to develop digital television in Bolivia within the next 10 years, said, “Compatriots, from this moral height it doesn´t bother us that [the US] wants to take away $1.5 million in aid. Even more than that, we can donate $1.5 million to the United States.” President Morales continued saying that the threats from the US and other countries were hurtful. The Copenhagen Accord arose from the 15th Convention of the United Nations Organization held in Copenhagen in December of 2009. Many world leaders criticized the Copenhagen Accord for what they called weak restrictions and insufficient action. In his speech President Morales reiterated his stance that “exorbitant” industrialization is responsible for climate change but acknowledged that environmental advocates would have to work with industry to compromise and integrate their platforms. The Copenhagen Accord has failed to receive approval from all countries and has not been enacted as a binding accord by the United Nations. Bolivia joins other countries, such as Ecuador and Venezuela, in offering financial incentive for the United States to sign the Kyoto Protocol.

It is highly unlikely that the industrialized nation’s governments or even the majority of the populations will ever take the insinuations of the World Conference on Climate Change and Rights of Mother Earth’ s final determinations (that were taken in April of 2010 in Tiquipaya) seriously. Main reasons are that a blueprint draft to end capitalism is close to impossible, and the other is that humankind is already engulfed in a system that is with no return. We all would have to don our flip flops, learn how to fish and farm, use of our own hands, forget about vehicles, (walk and run more), find alternatives to formal medicine practices, all of us would need to become jacks’ of all trades, develop an entirely new social system, re-organize and re-classify ground and air transportation, develop entirely new systems of distribution, production, and filing of data and an infinetely new style of LIFE. Let alone deal with diseases!!
I believe that what the socialist ideology proposes is only an ideology that because of it’s incompetence it is already expired, and that this is only an excuse to hide their own defects. What the world needs is to PRAY very much, and to initially STOP ABUSING NATURE, and all wildlife must be protected. Basically what my good friend James Lovelock says is quite true, that we have no hop of reversing the deterioration of the world’s ecosystems, but to now only ENJOY LIFE AND WHAT IS LEFT OF THE PLANET….!!!
good job!
