HUMANITY MUST GIVE ITSELF A BOLDER CLIMATE CHALLENGE!


 

Rehabilitation of the earth's climate will only start in 100 years given the climate goals that countries have set for themselves today. This means that researchers must find another method to contain the climate disaster much sooner. A method that in principal is safe, and cools the planet without first requiring distant net-zero targets or impossible carbon emission reductions.

 A measure that averts climate Armageddon today. Not in 100 years after millions of people have already lost their lives and livelihoods due to extreme weather events. That's the challenge I put to leaders, innovators, AI specialists, and climate enthusiasts.


History shows that in 1962, US President John F. Kennedy challenged his country that before the decade is over, America should put a man on the moon and bring him safely back to earth. And it happened!


Today the world must do the same and make a united effort from scratch to stop climate change and reverse global warming... within a decade. This time we would not be doing it just because it is hard, but rather to save millions of lives today, while providing a safe home planet to the future generations of tomorrow.

INVOKE THE 2015 KIGALI PRINCIPLES TO PROTECT THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE!

Image
Many of us have never heard about the 2015 Kigali Principles. The Global South should unite at the UN General Assembly, with the famous 'Kigali Principles' in hand, an international instrument introduced by H. E. Paul Kagame of Rwanda back in 2015, which should now be invoked to protect the Palestinian people! This International instrument already authorises actions that any country can take right now for the Palestinian people. The 18 principles uphold the universal 'Responsibility to Protect civilians (known as R2P). It was specifically designed for countries to take prompt action to stop the mass slaughter of civilians anywhere in the world, and most of all, it was designed so that the world would never again watch for ahundred days as civilians are being murdered, and do nothing to actually stop the madness.l as was the case during the 1994 Rwanda genocide. Here are the principles. 1. To train all troops in the world on the protection of civilians. 2. To ens...

CROCUS TERRORIST ATTACK AND THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!

(Photo: Handshake with Russian Ambassador to Uganda Mr. Vladlen Semivolos at the Russian embassy in Kampala) I left a single flower outside the Russian Embassy in Kampala in condolence for the victims of the March 22nd Crocus hall terrorist attack in Moscow. Two days later I was surprised to receive a letter of appreciation from the Russian ambassador himself H.E. Vladlen Semivolos. (Photo: Letter of Appreciation from Russian Ambassador His Excellency Vladlen Semivolos) He informed me that I was the first and only Ugandan who jad made the effort to come and express condolences to the Russian Embassy in Uganda. Shame! I wondered where our government officials were, the people who are paid to maintain, navigate, and nurture foreign relations? Clearly this ommission was unprofessional, inhumane and insensitive behaviour on their part, especially when they are doing this to Uganda's long-time real friends. Anyway I would also like to express my appreciation in return to His Excellency ...

AS UGANDA'S CYCLE OF ELECTORAL VIOLENCE HYBERNATES TIL NEXT ELECTIONS!

Image
Photo: Feeling sad after finding no mangoes to pluck from the mango tree next to Uganda's independence monument. Today Nigerians elect their leader, I wish them all the best. I noticed that ever since Uganda's 1980 general elections, Ugandans have been complaining of rigged elections one after the other to this day, all characterized by a phase of extreme violence, while Ugandans are obviously incapable of seriously improving and burglar-proofing elections in this country for the last four decades. So much so that our elections are still archaically conducted in plastic basins in the 21st century just like Obote first prescribed in 1980. Yet for the record, we already know the solution to corruption and public theft. Besides the enactment and implementation of serious legal deterrences, it is common knowledge that the less human interaction we have in any public service processes, including in elections, the less corruption and theft there is. That is why for decade...
