Stuart Scott introduces Greta Thunberg and 26 individuals to the UN Climate Change Conference, (COP-24), Katowice, Poland
The UN Climate Change Conference is limited to 30,000 participants. Observing organizations must register many months in advance to be awarded a specific number of badges to attend. Individuals are not welcome, only representatives of organizations and national agencies. Fortunately, Stuart Scott (Executive Director of ScientistsWarning.org) has attended many UN Climate Change Conferences and has built a personal network with smaller nations and religious groups. By collaborating with registered groups, Stuart is able to bring individuals, families and small groups of students to speak at the UN conference.
Piotr Skubala, PhD., Professor of Biology and Environmental Protection at the University of Silesia in Katowice, stepped away from identifying soil mite communities in local coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests, hay or wet meadows, and farmland, increasing the microhabitat diversity of not only the soil-litter layer also dead wood of various forms, mosses, fungi, grasses, tree bark, fallen twigs and tree hollows capturing carbon and redirecting rot into food chains for larger animals. Piotr organized friends to host Scientists' Warning folks at no cost to us and many a good meal. Thank you Piotr, and, on behalf of the planet, thanks to healthy soil mite communities.
Assisted by Victoria Hurth, Rob Harding and Rob Moir with video editing by Mike Coe and Christian Dommasch, Stuart set up panel presentations in the Media Center’s Press Conference Room, Building F, a temporary structure sprawled on top of the former coal mine of Karowice in the shadows of mine ventilation towers.
Thirteen interviews are presented here by ScientistsWarning.org. We welcome your comments, and invite one and all to join with us in endorsing the Scientists' Warning report. We've got much work to do that begins with speaking out, and much is being said at http://ScientistsWarning.org Join in the dialogues.

The Extinction Rebellion began in the UK this year. We appear to be past the threshold into 'runaway climate change'. We are in extreme danger, and our governments and media are not getting it.

WeDontHaveTime.org

Dr. Peter Wadhams nails the problem squarely on the head. The IPCC continues to famously underestimate the problem, even in its most recent 'urgent' report, and the politicians remain cowards, self-serving & and 'corrupt,' serving first the 'fictitious persons' (corporations) on a daily basis.

Tony Juniper
WWF UK Outreach Director

Tony Juniper joins us to discuss the threat of our destructive model of economic development upon the web of life itself. The outcome will not just be a dramatic loss of species, also an enormous economic burden without the assistance given us by wildlife diversity and healthy predators. Restoring nature is restoring humanity, our health and prosperity.

If we do not do something about how we manage our agriculture soils, it could be gone in fifty or seventy years. David Beerling describes how adding volcanic rock to soil, discarded rocks from mines, massively increases the amount of carbon capture drawn out of the air.

Cathy Orlando of the Citizen's Climate Lobby tells of Canada’s recent adoption of the right way to price carbon, a 'fee and dividend' approach that shares the funds raised with this carbon fee with those who will need it most, the people with the least wealth.
