The news written by Tony

Regalado dated 02 Dec 2021, “Our Experience In The Glasgow Climate
Conference[1],” of
1,315 words (including title, excluding authors), showed me, a climate change activist
since 2007, that:
CoP26
was 2 times a disaster: (1) a chaos of procedure (CoPr) as well as (2) a
curtailment of participation (CoPa) – CoPr because of the pandemic
restrictions, which is understandable,
and CoPa because of the non-inclusion of climate activists and farmers, which
is unforgivable!
The Rappler reporters do declare categorically:
As always, the real
work lies outside of COP. It lies in government policies created after the
fortnight of negotiations, and the projects and plans implemented post-COP.
Does
Rappler mean we citizens are not encouraged to play our active role/s in
fighting climate change?
Digitally, I myself have been sifting information about
climate change in the last 14 years, having written as early as March 2007 on
the intellectual & scientific works of Al
Gore and the Inter-Governmental Panel for Climate Change (IGPCC), my
blogging happening 7 months before
they were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize on October 2007 (see my essay, “Primate Change Or Climate Change?
You Choose! – The Blogal Village Voice[2],” 03 March 2007, The American Frank,
WordPress.com).
I
forgive the pandemic chaos but not the inferior thinking that went behind and
dictated the entire CoP26 – farmers as well as climate activists should have
been included as active participants – the People’s
Panel!
The Gas Guzzlers
and Energy Eaters will always show
that they do listen in any climate
conference, but will keep on producing alibis to postpone what they should be
doing, while the People’s Panel would be pushing intellectually with all their
might.
For instance, I have firsthand knowledge that farmers are
guilty not only of applying chemical fertilizers and pesticides on their crops
and livestock, but also of constantly interfering with the natural processes of
growth and regrowth.
In
the Philippines alone, there are millions of hectares of farms – their
unnatural farming contributes much to global warming. Chemical farming is
pro-Climate Change!
Such realities should have been discussed in CoP26 – and
subsequent Conference of Parties.
Now then, this climate activist says government policies
regarding climate change should provide policies that cover programs that are
clearly addressed against climate change.
And that is why as an agriculturist and a warrior writer for
village development, I am intent on promoting regenerative
agriculture (RegINA), whose practices from beginning to end work along
with Mother Nature, not against her. RegINA restores what
millions of farmers destroy by their careless & chemical agriculture, and
thereby RegINA produces healthy environments as well as healthy foods for
everyone.
I
see RegINA as the David that will slay the Goliath called Climate Change!@517
