The climate is more urgent that Health from the USA?

"... ..Damage to the ecology, year after year, still going on, so we really need serious study and we have a plan for environmental protection. This is very, very important." Dalai Lama - Tibet leader.

Mrs. president Barack Obama and Congressists the U.S. look for one question!!!

The climate is more urgent that Health from the USA?

Think in CHANGE CLIMATE Today for life of tomorrow at the world!

During a summit on world hunger of the United Nations (UN) in Rome, Italy, the exiled Buddhist leader warned that rivers fed by glaciers of Tibet and the snow-capped mountains could disappear between 15 and 20 years. He called on China to study the problem from experts Tibetans.

The Dalai Lama called that China would act to prevent the melting of glaciers in Tibet, saying that the environmental crisis is more urgent than a political solution on the future of Tibet.

A political solution (for Tibet) can take time, but that's okay, we can expect," said the Dalai reporters this week in Europe.

"But damage to the ecology, year after year, still going on, so we really need serious study and we have a plan for environmental protection. This is very, very important."

The Qinghai-Tibet plateau is the source of many rivers in Asia, including the Yangtze and Mekong. Source: Reuters. Edition e add by Clayton Fernandes, signatory Global Compact UN. São Paulo Brazil, www.royalbusinessconsult.com.br/home and http://mixideias.blogspot.com

Seeds of Change Planted

By Gene - Nov 18th, 2009 at 5:59 pm EST

Also listed in: 9 groups

Just 10 months into his presidency, folks on the left complain President Obama is not doing enough and folks on the right complain he is doing too much. The change we need and voted for just 12 months ago was never going to happen quickly. President Obama has planted the seeds -let’s nourish and tend to these things and watch them grow and mature. The 24-hour news cycle has created a need for instant gratification. The ever-present talking heads on radio and cable television thrive on controversy. They’re not willing to talk about – and for the most part are not capable of explaining – the details or complexities of policy changes. So take a breath and relax. If you want to help advance the Obama change agenda, write or call your Member of Congress and Senators. Tell them we need health care reform, education reform, energy technology programs and the other items President Obama has outlined to provide for the long-term needs of this country.

One Step Closer

The House has passed a health insurance reform bill. Certainly, this is an historic step. But it is only one step. It is now up to the Senate to act. I remain hopeful that comprehensive health insurance reform will be enacted by year's end.

In the ambient question and global heating, Brazil has enormous force in the international community, being part of the G20 and the Advice of Security of the UN. The government of president Lula would have to represent in COP15 the thought of Latin America. For in such a way, it needs to hear what the neighboring detainers of forests teem to say.

For the management of the president of U.S.A., Barack Obama, the American Latin countries could be joined in a common good. In the vision of the White House, crises as of Honduras, still denote a climate of instability and cohesion of objectives.Obama sees that Mexico and Brazil are if becoming illustrious representative mediators of new crises. In more, the White House does not have an official and opened position in relation to the thought of the American president. By Clayton Fernandes.

I don't know what President Obama is doing behind the scenes, but it seems to me that he ought to more out front in supporting specific aspects of the respective House and Senate health reform bills, especially as it deals with the public option.

President Obama is coming to my adopted hometown, Madison WI, next week to talk education policy. Hopefully it will be a public event so I can attend. More hopefully, I'd like to get my photo with the president since he wasn't able to meet with volunteers after his February 2008 Madison event.

So, Senator Lieberman says he'll vote with the Republicans to filibuster a health care reform bill which contains a public option. Leader Reid should be very clear with Lieberman that such a vote would be a ticket out of the Democratic caucus.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says the health care reform bill going to the Senate will include an opt-out public option. That's a significant step. Now Senator Reid needs to get those 60 votes needed to prevent and filibuster.

Victory is Near

By Gene - Oct 24th, 2009 at 5:09 pm EDT

Unlike some of my friends, I believe the Obama administration has managed health care reform legislation very well. They gave republicans the opportunity to be defined as the party of no and the friend of the big health insurance lobby. He let them use their own rope to hang themselves. Now we're close to victory. The legislation is not likely to be perfect, but it will certainly give hope to millions and it will serve as a solid base for future improvements.
