At the Development Summit in Johannesburg in 2002, the European countries agreed to rebuild their fish stocks to levels that can produce the maximum sustainable yield, no later than 2015. According to scientists of the Excellence Cluster “Future Ocean” in Kiel, Germany, that goal is already out of reach: Of 54 analysed stocks, only very fey stocks have sufficiently large size and are fished at a sustainable rate. The state of twelve stocks, including North Sea cod, plaice and halibut, is so bad that they can not recover sufficiently until 2015, even if all fishing would be halted.

The celebrity-fueledSummit on the Summit campaignto scale Mt. Kilimanjaro kicks off this week — and actorEmile Hirschhas announced he’ll be joining the effort. The 24-year-old is looking forward to tackling the climb, branding it “an epic adventure with an educational process on the global water crisis”, and he’s determined to reach the mountain’s highest point. He adds, “Put this on the books: I’m making it to the top.”
Hirsch is joiningJessica Biel, Lupe Fiasco, Isabel Lucas, Elizabeth Gore, and others for a week-long trek that will cover over 50 miles as they make their way to the top of the 19,341-foot African peak. The expedition is the brainchild of singer and producer Kenna; whose own father suffered from waterborne diseases as a child in Ethiopia.
Back in April, it was Biel’s boyfriend, singerJustin Timberlake, who first announced the project in an interview withGQ. “I’ve been training four times a week to get my VO2 [oxygen consumption] levels up to expand my lungs,” Timberlake said. “We’ll climb for a week straight, carrying 30 pounds on our backs. It’s going to be intense.” Unfortunately, it now looks like the singer won’t be involved.According to one source, by the time the expedition was scheduled, Justin had already committed to making a new movie, “Social Network.”
Using theslick website for the campaign, you’ll be able to follow the eco-adventurers as they make their way to the top. You can also sponsora foot of the climb on the Summit on the Summit websiteby donating directly to the cause. All the funds raised will go towards The Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program,United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees(UNHCR), andWater For People’s Playpump Technology.

Brave new climate world – it’s amazing to what proportions the perversions have reached today. The coming copenhagen climate consensus summit is part of the great global warming hoax where scientists and experts have been silenced, threathened and muzzled, because the debate is over, and the lies are obvious so let’s pretend everything is wonderful so we can forward our agenda for the world or rather for the elite of the world. It seems that the majority of so-called responsible people are …
