HYPOCRISY IN EMERYVILLE AND THE WORLD
DATE: November 14, 2022.
1) The 2022 World Climate Change Conference takes place in Cairo, Eqypt, this December 13, 2022.
Cairo, Egypt to San Francisco: 7473 Miles (12027 Kilometers); 396 Tonnes of toxic CO2 is created on this one round-trip flight, equivalent to 86 cars driving for a year! If the December 13th Climate Change conference were truly dedicated to eliminating global warming they would do it online by Zoom or another online method. Where is the REAL commitment to mitigating global warming? The whole event is a salute to hypocrisy. And it is an event that PROMOTES global warming by their ignorant and inquisitive-less actions! They are concerned with monetary gain from attendance and hotel/airport/restaurant profiteers.
There were 40,000 registered attendees at the Climate Change Conference last year. If you multiply my calculated toxic CO2 figure times (we'll be extremely conservative) with just 30,000 attendees, the amount of CO2 tonnage is,11,800,000 tonnes of CO2 toxic pollution created by the event! That is how much toxic pollution 2,580,000 cars driving a year create! The World Climate Change Conference will create at least this amount! (I have eliminated 10,000 attendees just to be conservative.)
So the whole functioning of the Climate Change Conference is a major part of the world’s toxicity problem just in itself!
Blatant hypocrisy that ignores the facts! The facts show that the Climate Change Conference is a profit-making business that cares nothing for Climate Change!
And this is why the world will continue to die and its death continues to accelerate! We ignore the facts and we refuse to be responsible for our actions. We dodge accountability.
2) Ion-lithium batteries, used in everything from cars to computers to Iphones, require Cobalt. Cobalt is mined by child labor slaves in the Republic of the Congo, where children as young as 4 years old, do back-breaking work 12 to 24 hours a day, in tunnels that cause permanent lung damage. The cobalt is sold to Chinese and Korean manufacturers who supply Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Sony, Daimler, Volkswagen, Tesla, BYU, Toyota, Ford, and many more.
During the 12 to 24 hours in the mines, children carry heavy loads and many mines cave-in with many cave-ins going unreported and children buried alive. They work without the protection of work clothes, gloves, facemasks, and get skin disease and lung disease. Many parents exploit their children to work and not go to school so the parents can make money off their children. It is a back-breaking life of misery for $1 to $2 a day.
Companies making a $125 billion profit claim they do not know. Corporations create the hypocrisy of production and we buyers proliferate the hypocrisy by purchasing and using battery-powered technology like the scooters that we see everywhere. Emeryville Ctty Council has ideas to promote an Emeryville Scooter Race. By such promotion, the City Council is aligning itself with the same hypocrisy that kills these helpless children! Lithium Batteries are the product of children worked to death under unspeakable pain and suffering in the darkness and poison of underground tunnels which they themselves were forced to dig. Think on these things…

EMERYVILLE COULD BE THE FIRST VEGAN CITY IN THE WORLD: THE FIRST CITY TO BE AN EXAMPLE TO THE WORLD TO SAVE OUR FUTURE
The consumption of meat and dairy products and the farming of it world-wide, is our single most destructive human behavior, equivalent to the destruction of all other human behaviors combined! I repeat: Equivalent to all other destructive human behaviors combined. Please research this. More than one billion animals and marine life killed EVERY DAY in the world! No wonder our world is filled with violence! We are surrounded by the unspeakable violence of slaughterhouses that surround every city of our planet!
Emeryville could become an example to the world by strongly, publically, promoting a campaign to make the entire city aspire to not eat meat and dairy products. There are many globally renown personalities that would join us to promote a vegan way of life for an entire city. It is a moral imperitive and the greatest single action by an individual who cares about making a difference to preserve humanity. Personalities like boxer, Mike Tyson, actor, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Olympians, Michael Phelps and Carl Lewis, actress, Natalie Portman, tennis star, Serena Williams, movie director, James Cameron, and US President, Bill Clinton, could be on-hand to give public speeches to our Emeryville citizens. They are committed vegan individuals.
Their participation is not a matter of speaking fees, it is a matter of their influencing an entire city to step-up, to not kill sentient beings, to do what matters to preserve our future, preserve our earth, to be a committed citizen, to be an example for our children, our school students, teachers and staff, our neighbors, our local businesses and government, and to the world! This single organized action would do much more good in the world than the very questionable and publically critricized events of the Climate Change Conference, the United Nations, or the World Economic Forum.
Most of us live a life of couching our communication in euphemism and chosen words as to not offend anyone. Our public figures present themselves in such a prescribed manner and yet, behind closed doors, they are on-record as racist, gender-biased, and ageism prejudice. Governments throughout our country have uncovered recordings that have ruined the lives of public figures, city councils, mayors, governors and presidents. History is repleat with such truths and records. City Councils often become fiefdoms preserving the group-think mentality of he or she who are able to manipulate and provide perks to the others.
The best city councils are those who engage in heated debate among themselves, who are a gathering of diverse and insightful individuals spanning a wide range of professions and experience, who don’t spend social time together so that public decisions are not influenced by comeraderie, who are available to city residents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and relish speaking with citizens about their concerns, and find ways to create inspirational events that beckon people to participate to achieve their optimal mental and physical health! Being available defines public office yet who of our elected officials are available when you call them? And who does not discriminate who they talk with?
Our city could have all-age half-marathon and full marathon races, all-age bicycle races and tours, all-age track and field competitions, all-age swimming competitions, all-age fitness contests, bicycle design contests, clothing design contests, design competitions of all sorts; these are but a few of the kind of events that Emeryville could have but does not! Where are the public figures who promote health and fitness and social engagement? We’ve heard about electric scooter races, but they are the antithesis of health and fitness, and promote destruction of the earth and child-slavery through battery manufacturing and use, and it promotes a sedentary life by standing on a scooter not challenging your body in any muscular or aerobic way!
Is it no wonder that, in Alameda County, nearly 70% of adults are overweight and obese and 40% of the children are overweight or obese! This is unacceptable!
