GreenPolicy360 highlights Pope Francis
Catholic pontiff speaks of the environment
Time to take another look at the new Catholic leadership
“In this globalised world, we have fallen into globalised indifference.”
-- Pope Francis
Next year, the Pope will issue a rare papal encyclical in March on climate change and human ecology, all part of an attempt strongly to influence the UN climate change meeting in Paris in 2015 to achieve a universal commitment to reduce carbon emissions.
“Eco-theology” alarms creationists and divides the Catholic church. Opponents, including some in the Vatican, condemn it as “un-biblical”. Pope Francis sees economic inequality and the plundering of the Earth’s resources as part of a theme. He has said: “In this system, which tends to devour everything which stands in the way of accrued profits, whatever is fragile like the environment is defenceless against the interest of a deified market, which becomes the only rule.”

GreenPolicy360 highlights George Brown Jr.
Remembering the 'start-up' of the environmental movement and the first laws, a set of founding legal precedents many of which came from forward-looking green visionaries from California, like George E. Brown who passed away suddenly in 1999.
George's work in Congress in air quality/clean air, water and the founding of the EPA highlighted the era's achievement...
George was out in front in "big science" -- his profound accomplishments are esp missed now as anti-science positions threaten in the current Congress...

GreenPolicy360 highlights Rebecca Moore
Rebecca envisioned setting up Google Outreach -- and she did.
As GreenPolicy siterunner Steven Schmidt wrote as Earth Outreach/Google started up:
"Rebecca had an idea how to save (redwood) trees around her home...
and her idea led to setting up Google Outreach - She had a great idea, she made it happen,
she is continuing to make it happen ! Each day there's new progress, local and global...
Global Forest Watch & Global Fishing Watch are two most recent successful launches."
Here's a tip of our GreenPolicy360 hat to Rebecca's Earth Outreach 'planet citizens' work.
Thank You Rebecca! You inspire our action as #PlanetCitizens. Time to see how it's all connected !

GreenPolicy360 highlights Climate March's Iain Keith
Climate March organizer, from Avaaz:
"We realized that a March could send a powerful signal."
Marches don't always change the world.
Sometimes they are the only things
that shake the system into widespread change."

Carbon Brief - FB - TW
They asked 25 thinkers, writers and journalists a simple question:
What books or readings inspired you to get involved in climate-related work?
They got back some very interesting insights into why people work on climate,
why they started, and why they carry on. Warming Earth

NASA continues to advance a new space era in its exploration of our home planet with the launch of series of #EarthScience instruments to the International Space Station.
New earth-observing array of instruments will be exterior mounted on the International Space Station. ISS-RapidScat will monitor ocean winds for climate research, weather predictions and hurricane monitoring. The second instrument, the laser Cloud-Aerosol Transport System (CATS), will measure clouds and location and distribution of pollution, dust, smoke, and other particulates in the atmosphere.

31 March 2014/Japan/IPCC international conference - "The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a report today that says the effects of climate change are already occurring on all continents and across the oceans. The extensive set of documents, continuing a multi-year series of scientific documentation and analyses, details latest developments and warns that the world is "ill-prepared" for risks from a changing climate. The report also states that there are "opportunities" to respond to such risks, though the risks will be difficult to manage with high levels of warming... [84] [85] [86] #climatechange

Remembering 'Earthrise' - December 1968
Earthrise memories on the 45th anniversary - Earth-home, the historic view of Earth from Apollo
"The earth from here [circling the moon] is a grand oasis in the big vastness of space." — Jim Lovell, live Apollo 8 - 1968
"If somebody had said before the flight, 'Are you going to get carried away looking at the earth from the moon?' I would have said, 'No, no way.' But yet when I first looked back at the earth, standing on the moon, I cried." — Alan Shepard, Astronaut
"As you pass from sunlight into darkness and back again every hour and a half, you become startlingly aware how artificial are thousands of boundaries we've created to separate and define. And for the first time in your life you feel in your gut the precious unity of the Earth and all the living things it supports." — Russell Schweikart, Apollo 9
"As we got further and further away, it [the Earth] diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate..." — James Irwin, Apollo 15

What a View!
Overview refers to the experience of seeing firsthand the reality of the Earth in space, which is immediately understood to be a tiny, fragile ball of life, hanging in the void, shielded and nourished by a paper-thin atmosphere. From space, the astronauts tell us, national boundaries vanish, the conflicts that divide us become less important and the need to create a planetary society with the united will to protect our "pale blue dot."

Environmental Security ↔ National Security
- GreenPolicy360 ↔ Strategic Demands
GreenPolicy360, in association with Strategic Demands, continues its work to advance "Environmental Security" as a foundation of a broader security policy.
GreenPolicy360's work envisages Environmental Security as integral to National Security and Global Security.
Unprecedented scientific achievements, global connectivity and access to new knowledge via the Internet provide both opportunities and challenges. This unprecedented advance in human knowledge bring the potential for understanding that goes far beyond traditional beliefs. Cultural/religious/tribal belief systems are being challenged but knowledge can provide new ways of seeing and new answer to age-old questions.
The range of new information, understanding, data, systems monitoring are becoming baselines for evaluating change and with observation of changes comes the opportunity to manage change.
Fields of knowledge are growing exponentially:
- Earth Science
- Earth Observations
- Earth Research from Space
- New Space
- 'Democratization' of Space
- Micro-satellites
- Atmospheric Science
- Ocean Science, and
- Climate Change Science.
Critical questions of the sustainable health of our planet's biosphere and atmosphere, of sustainable economic growth over time, are now being raised across the approximately 200 nations of the world.
In the past, the study of 'national security' was limited, circumscribed by national interest. Nations considered strategic security affairs as primarily political/military and economic concerns and placed environmental security, to the extent 'environmental security' was considered at all, as secondary in nature.
Today, a gathering storm of environmental threats are rising to become national and international security concerns as environmental risks bring existential questions due to climate change, nuclear proliferation and a horizon of global challenges. "New Definitions of National Security." are critically needed in these times. We at GreenPolicy/Strategic Demands intend to continue to pursue connections between National Security and Environmental Security.
Overall, science is expanding its scope with powerful new tools and capabilities. Earth science data is being shared and considered, the intelligence of 'big data' and computational power is delivering unprecedented means to study and manage eco-social systems. A new and fast evolving science of Environmental Security - Sustainable Development is beginning to enable an integral ecology with a new vision of thinking and acting that spans nations and is shared via the Internet. Engaged citizens, in a newly connected world, are acting to shape a future of political awareness with "green best practices".
The key for green policy is moving forward with vision. Our challenge is to use our native intelligence and intelligent new methods of sharing and evaluating data to make decisions that sustain and benefit life, today and for future generations.
-- SJS/GreenPolicy Siterunner
