AMY GOODMAN: izi ndi Demokarase Tsopano!, democracynow.org, Lipoti la Nkhondo ndi Mtendere, pamene tikubweretserani Climate Countdown. Ndine Amy Goodman. Inde, tikukambirana za msonkhano wa Glasgow wochokera ku United States, kuchokera ku Glasgow komweko komanso kuchokera kumadera osiyanasiyana padziko lonse lapansi kwa omwe sanathe kufika ku Glasgow.

Tsopano tikutembenukira kwa Greta Thunberg wazaka 18 wolimbikitsa zanyengo. Adalankhula Lachisanu pamsonkhano ku Glasgow womwe unakonzedwa ndi Fridays for Future, gulu lapadziko lonse la ophunzira lomwe lidakulirakulira chifukwa chakunyanyala kwanyengo kunja kwa nyumba yamalamulo yaku Sweden yomwe idayamba mu 2018.

GRETA THUNBERG: Si chinsinsi kuti COP26 ndiyolephera. Ziyenera kukhala zoonekeratu kuti sitingathe kuthetsa vuto ndi njira zomwezo zomwe zidatifikitsa poyamba. Ndipo anthu ochulukirachulukira akuyamba kuzindikira izi. Anthu ambiri akuyamba kudzifunsa kuti, “Kodi anthu amene ali m’maudindo adzafunika kuchita chiyani kuti adzuke?”

Koma tiyeni timveke bwino: Iwo ali maso kale. Iwo amadziwa bwino lomwe zimene akuchita. Iwo amadziwa ndendende zinthu zamtengo wapatali zomwe akuzisiya kuti asunge bizinesi monga mwanthawi zonse. Atsogoleri sakuchita kalikonse; akupanga zopyola mwachangu ndikusintha makonzedwe kuti apindule okha ndi kupitirizabe kupindula ndi dongosolo lowonongali. Ichi ndi chisankho chachangu cha atsogoleri kuti apitirize kulola kuti anthu ndi chilengedwe chiwonongeke komanso kuwononga moyo wamakono ndi wamtsogolo.

The COP chakhala chochitika cha PR pomwe atsogoleri akupereka malankhulidwe okongola ndikulengeza zomwe akufuna komanso zomwe akufuna, pomwe kumbuyo kwa makatani maboma a mayiko a Global North akukanabe kuchitapo kanthu koopsa kwanyengo. Zikuwoneka kuti cholinga chawo chachikulu ndikupitiliza kumenyera nkhondo zokhazikika.

Ndipo COP26 yatchulidwa kuti ndiyosiyana kwambiri COP konse. Uwu si msonkhano. Ichi tsopano ndi chikondwerero cha Global North greenwash, chikondwerero cha sabata ziwiri cha bizinesi monga mwachizolowezi ndi blah, blah, blah. Anthu okhudzidwa kwambiri m'madera omwe akukhudzidwa kwambiri akadali osamveka, ndipo mawu a mibadwo yamtsogolo akumira mu greenwash ndi mawu opanda kanthu ndi malonjezo. Koma zoona zake si zabodza, ndipo tikudziwa kuti mafumu athu ali maliseche.

Kuti tikhalebe m'munsimu zomwe zakhazikitsidwa mu Pangano la Paris, ndikuchepetsa kuopsa koyambitsa zochitika zosasinthika zomwe sizingasinthe zomwe anthu sangathe kuzilamulira, tifunika kuchepetsa utsi wapachaka, mosakayika, mosiyana ndi chilichonse chomwe dziko lapansi lawonapo. Ndipo popeza tilibe mayankho aukadaulo omwe okhawo angachite chilichonse chomwe chingakhale pafupi ndi izi, zikutanthauza kuti tiyenera kusintha kwambiri chikhalidwe chathu. Ndipo izi ndi zotsatira zosasangalatsa zomwe atsogoleri athu adalephera mobwerezabwereza kuthana ndi vutoli.

Pamitengo yapanopa yotulutsa mpweya, bajeti yathu yotsalira ya CO2 yotipatsa mwayi wokhala pansi pa 1.5 digiri Celsius idzatha kumapeto kwa zaka khumizi. Ndipo vuto la nyengo ndi zachilengedwe, ndithudi, sizikhalapo m'malo opanda kanthu. Zimagwirizanitsidwa mwachindunji ndi zovuta zina ndi zopanda chilungamo zomwe zinayambira ku utsamunda ndi kupitirira apo, mavuto okhudzana ndi lingaliro lakuti anthu ena ndi ofunika kwambiri kuposa ena, choncho anali ndi ufulu woba ena - kuchitira ena masuku pamutu ndi kuwabera malo ndi chuma chawo. . Ndipo n’kupusa kwa ife kuganiza kuti tingathe kuthetsa vutoli popanda kuthetsa gwero lake.

Koma izi sizidzayankhulidwa mkati COP. Ndizovuta kwambiri. Ndikosavuta kwa iwo kuti angonyalanyaza ngongole yakale yomwe mayiko a Global North ali nawo kwa anthu ndi madera omwe akhudzidwa kwambiri. Ndipo funso limene tiyenera kudzifunsa tsopano ndi lakuti: Kodi nchiyani chimene tikumenyera nkhondo? Kodi tikulimbana kuti tidzipulumutse tokha ndi dziko lapansi, kapena tikulimbana kuti tisunge bizinesi monga mwanthawi zonse?
