Why call on IT Leaders to be climate leaders?

Why call on IT leaders to be climate leaders?

Logo montage

We see great climate leadership potential in Google, IBM and Microsoft this season.

The climate change impact of the IT industry on emissions is being recognised more widely and starting to be addressed. What is less well known is that IT has the potential to be a big part of the solution to climate change.

We are pressuring the biggest names in the IT industry to move quickly to produce climate solutions and reduce their own emissions. The impact of the IT industry can be summarised as:

The ICT sector creates two percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. That's the bad news. The good news is that its services and products could cut the world's emissions by an estimated 15 percent when applied in industry, buildings, transport and power sectors.

Currently the industry's carbon footprint is growing, and much of these green IT opportunities remain unrealized potential or lack the detailed studies to show how and where they can reduce overall emissions.

Time is short to reach the goal of 15 percent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020, so companies need to be showing now which technologies and solutions have the biggest impact on overall emissions.

The potential is huge - in fact there are not many areas of the economy where IT climate solutions could not help cut greenhouse gas emissions. (Click to see a full chart of ICT climate solutions opportunities).

But time is short to reach the goal of 15 percent reduction by 2020 so companies need to be showing now which technologies and solutions have the biggest impact on overall emissions.

As well as being good for the climate, effective, measurable climate solutions, implemented on a wide scale will mean big profits for the IT industry. The biggest opportunity for the IT industry will be if governments legislate for strong mandatory emissions reduction targets by 2020.

Given there is big money at stake you would think IT bosses would be falling over themselves to push politicians to legislate and make their solutions even more profitable right? Nope, wrong (so far). Politicians are preparing to meet in Copenhagen this December to agree on a successor to the Kyoto Protocol. A strong Copenhagen deal will create the right market conditions for a massive roll-out of smart technologies. But only one big Tech CEO has stepped up to urge a strong deal, with the rest leaving the floor wide open for polluting industry to bully politicians in to making weak or ineffective climate legislation.

That, in 367 words, is why we're campaigning to make champion climate leaders out of these IT industry leaders. But this is a big and complex issue so below are more specifics, analysis of how the IT industry measures up against the lobbying of the dirty fossil fuel industries, what the companies are currently doing in detail on climate advocacy and why the time to speak up is now - both for the companies and the people they listen to - us, their customers.


The climate can't wait for Champions

The IT industry could make money, create new markets and generate new jobs while helping to stop runaway climate change: A win-win for business and the planet. That's the clean tech revolution we need now, not business as usual promoted by dirty industry. Coal, oil, car and power companies are the heavyweights of the climate debate right now and almost all are fighting for the wrong side. To counter them the climate needs champions now who are not afraid to put their full weight behind the clean tech revolution.

That why right now we are focusing in on Google, IBM and Microsoft. All three have redefined many parts of the economy and swept away inefficient business models. They have the power and influence to push governments to make a strong deal at the Copenhagen climate conference this December.

So we're calling on Google, IBM and Microsoft to demand a fair, ambitious, and binding deal to save the climate.

How cool would that be?

How to help the campaign

This website exposes the gap between what the IT industry could do to fight climate change, and what they're doing today. As the leaderboard shows, there's a long way to go (hint: They're scored out of 100). Every IT executive's profile page also includes a list of actions you can take to help pressure him to act.

党员与屎

在某些“官员”的潜意识里,官与民的对立,党员和屎的亲近都在如下官腔中暴露无疑。。。
 
 
 
你是不是党员?——官腔:没有最牛 只有更牛

“官腔常常有,最近特别多。”有网友发帖如此评价。
1月4日,郑州一都市报刊登一篇调查稿《“养犬办”被指只管收钱不管事》,文中记者质疑1200万元的养犬管理费的去向,采访了郑州市养犬办负责人王平,希望公布相关账目,王平让记者直接问财政局。
记者通过郑州市财政局办公室联系上了该局预算外资金管理局城建处处长王冠旗。“你是不是党员?”王冠旗质问记者:“如果你要采访这笔费用的开支,就必须获得我们局党委和新闻发言人的批准!办公室让你直接采访我是违反规定的!”
官腔: “没有最牛,只有更牛”
报道一经推出,“你是不是党员”这句简单的问话,在网上转载疯了,“雷语”把公众彻底雷倒。
讨论事件的部分网友认为,鉴于“最牛”官腔记录一再被刷新,官腔果然“没有最牛,只有更牛!”
今年6月,记者就郑州市须水镇经济适用房用地建别墅一事,采访时任郑州市规划局副局长的逯军时,被劈头一问:“你是准备替党说话,还是准备替老百姓说话?”这句雷人“官腔”曾在全国风靡一时。
10月27日,广州交通整治会上,记者提问“道路封闭,是否该提前公布封闭措施”时,与会的一位中年男子突然说:“那么我是不是拉屎也要告诉你啊?臭不臭也要告诉你?”此语一经报道,此人立即被网友称为“拉屎官”。

人性的反抗与反抗的人性 -- Nine (9)

【电影】“9” 反抗引领人性重组

作者: 满囤儿 2009-11-03 16:40:03 来源:南方人物周刊

蒂姆·波顿对停格动画手法和黑暗主题的迷恋,在《圣诞夜惊魂》和《僵尸新娘》中早已表露无遗。这部由其监制的动画长片《9》依然风格诡异莫名。《9》以人类与反派机器人大战后即将灭绝为背景,把人性进行了分割,分装入9个布袋小人儿中。他们对机器人统治的反抗,使人性得以重组。

本片剧情并无太多新意:博士发明的机器人被军事利用,导致了人类的毁灭,临死前,博士制造了9个承载自己人性碎片的布袋小人,引导他们重建新世界。本片最值得玩味的,是这9个人偶的象征意义。他们和同一个心态——反抗,捆绑在一起。反抗是人类得以存活于自然界和社会中的基本要素:对自身体能的反抗使人类发明了工具;对自然的反抗使人类形成了社会体系,从而进化成地球的统治者。这是人类之所以成长为人类的本源。这个本源在末世之时,就成了惟一可以重组人性的开路先锋。

1号——对恐惧的反抗。1号对强大敌人有畏惧和妥协,又是社会秩序的协调者。人类最本质、最原始的反抗就是对内心恐惧的下意识反抗,最直接体现就是逃——这是人类最原始的情绪之一。最怕死的1号最后为9号堵了枪眼,是因为他看到了“避无可避”。人类的进步往往都是被逼上绝境后才得以实现的;

2号——反抗中的牺牲。2号对自然存在有着浓厚的兴趣,代表人类对自然的反抗进入了主动阶段:探索自然、钻研科学,渴望将未知变为已知。2号最先牺牲则象征了主动反抗在初期是冒风险的,隐喻人类反抗自然所要付出的代价;

3号和4号——对独居的反抗。这对双胞胎始终同时出镜,亲密无间。人类个体能力的弱小,推动他们反抗那些破坏群体和谐的个人。他俩还具备了纯真友善的心灵,隐喻人类和谐共处的基础。他们没有直接参与战斗,只在必要时提供协作和支持。互助正是人类能够形成社会体系的必备特征。他们拒绝孤独一人,是对情感羁绊最好的注脚;

5号——对已知的反抗。5号是社会基层人类的代表。他苟活在1号组建起的小社会里,9号劝说他去救被俘的2号时,他陷入了矛盾——作为战友,他应该去救2号,但那样就违抗了1号(领导阶级)的意志。步入社会形态后的人类,一出生就被已知教条所包围。可是已有的社会秩序或不成文的规矩是否真的永远正确?当自己被灌输的理念和自己内心的意愿相违背的时候,是否有勇气做出反抗?5号反抗了约束自己的保命教条,最终落个惨死收场,却成为了人性得以重建的首席英雄;

6号——精神反抗。代表人类史上的思想家,利用内心思考来进行反抗的形式。思考往往对反抗起先导和启蒙作用;

7号——武力反抗。代表人类史上的革命家,利用武力战争来进行反抗的形式。她(本片惟一的女性角色)对敌人是反抗态度,对同阵营的1号也是反抗态度;

8号——对威胁的反抗。代表一种比较原始的被动反抗——威胁临近时本能的反抗。他往往在危险远的时候逃,在危险近的时候打。可以说,8号是人性中消极情绪的集合体。

9号——反抗的汇聚和成长。影片开头是9号的缝制过程,之后也频频出现他被“开膛破肚”的镜头,暗示他是一个初生儿,可谓一个空容器。他只有一颗善良且敢于承担责任的心。通过他,各种反抗元素凝结后形成一个完整的人性个体。这个新个体不仅带有个体性,还带有了社会性。

影片最后存活下来的是3号、4号、7号和9号。这个组合也可以看做是父母和孩子——家庭的象征。其他5个兄弟飞天后下起了雨,雨中是原始生命的涌动。反抗精神,就要推动人性重新创世了。
