The ARC conference

I was here in London on a search for people who had something to offer in the way of educating young people for better careers in conservation and, something positive and powerful to resist the incompetence of many in the Green political alliances around the world. 
The second issue was a clear concern for most but only a few seemed to have much to offer on the former;  I hope to introduce you to a few.

This worldwide conference of mostly professional people is a big surprise to most of the 4 thousand who came. It's now nearly too big and diverse to properly tackle all the various callings represented,  
The presentations during the 3 days made sure the sense of unity, despite the isolation and difficulties 
will remain . Look the ARC authors up on the net.  We  didn't all agree with  each other .

KEY QUESTIONS 
1. Why does the West trust politicians and the "desperate for attention media" instead of the competent independent scientists who insist on the truth and who come together at meetings and forums like this.
2. How can our children build the future when so much of the values they hear are about short term gain which only brings long term gain ; When truth is not a hard face but the soft and self centred flacid stuff based on feelings.  

 

Some of us got invites and many just wanted to go because the idea of an "Alliance for Responsible Citizenship " has a huge amount of appeal to those of us who have had an effective engagement in a profession that works, but who struggle to see Governments and the media failing to create competence and the inspiration for it FOR OUR CHILDREN  

The competence of many who attended was staggering  (in politics , academia economy ) but as always happens , even among  such a large group , there are only a few whose competence is exactly in your area. 

Bjorn Lomborg is a key advocate for environmental education with a group called the Copenhagen Consensus,
His constant bruising, like that given to Jordan Peterson  (from the press ) won't stop him from doing a great job in that area, Why do the West trust politicians and the desperate for attention media instead of the competent independent scientists who insist on the truth and who come together at meetings and forums like this. 

Are we winning the war? Never know till it's over and most of us see the thrashing about amongst the Nay 
sayers and cancellers as just plain desperate.
If you doubt the need,ask yourself how much actual experience and competence now exists in some government services and government contracting arrangements.  










HUMOR is such fun in the context of this serious subject,.
Take the way  Konstantin Kisin does it so well

and this group  called UNHERD  uses the pin pricking idea that can effectively explode a few balloons .
