All green propaganda is produced to ensure the continuation of development as before, but now there is a new invisible commodity, which is more profitable than ever, and that is air.  Specifically carbon offsets and trading. Also water and food.  So, oil will soon be the oppressor of yesterday and the basic needs of society will be the resource of oppression today.  ‘Green’ is the indespensible and also required adjustment to capitlalism and the spectacle of it. 
 
Through medias and advertisements, the green spectacle´s social appearance is of a ´healthy´, órganic´, bourgious that sits in city organized green spaces, uses energy saving light bulbs, uses alternative agro fuels, uses hybrid or electric cars, plants trees for its carbon emissions, etc etc.  And,  is viewed as providing these suggestions that places the blame on individuals instead of corporations and governments.  convincing people that they can buy their way out of this crisis and not think about it.  If they work a little harder for their company´s and bosses, they can save the planet by buying the best products.  And the one´s who can´t are criminalized. The producers or the proletariet are confined to look for ‘green’ jobs or  producing green products.   The fact is, also, that ‘green´energy is cheaper, so these big corporations can keep factories and production open longer to produce more. This means more resource extraction, and more long miserable hours for workers.    So, the workers are forced to now slave away for low income to produce more for less.  Then they must spend the money earned to buy new things for the house, that will save more energy, which in turn will increase consumption, which will increase extraction, which will increase production, which will lead to more lies by advertising and media, then repeat over and over. Climate change deepens the abuse of inequalities of gender relations.  Poor women’s limited access to resources, restricted rights, limited mobility and muted voice in shaping decisions make them highly vulnerable to climate change.  The nature of that vulnerability varies widely, cautioning against that generalization, but climate change will magnify existing patterns of inequality, including gender inequality!

For an example of labor and gender inequality together, recently at a talk I attended with Dr. R. K. Pachauri from the IPCC, Pachauri said that because of cheaper sustainable energy, women in a factory in South Africa would be able to work longer hours.  Like they want to work these long hours.  Either they are forced or have to make money to pay for increasing rents, inflation, and the necessities of life.  

The green spectacle is the image of a greener more natural society by market solutions by marketing the solutions as such. Its formation happens because of the undeniable urgency of our climate crisis, and the spectacles motivation to reinvent itself, and knowing that the real soutions to the problem would inevitably rule out capitalism.  So, its function is to present in a spectacular and repetitious cycle that these false solutions are real solutions.  And the forces that tend to dissolve or destroy it lives also within the spectacle and uses similar methods and language from the spectacle to go against it, because they get their information from the media.  So even people fighting against the system, get caught up in a designed maze of never attacking the root systemic causes of our issues.  But attacking symptoms of the problem, which inevitably come back after time.  And then, the people who do fight the roots are displayed as radical and extremists, and are cast out to the fringes of society.  In this way they divide and conquer us once again into the ´good protester´, ´bad protester´scenario.  So, activists become part of the spectacle.  So we need to understand the problems that exist, and always confront the problem from the root.  And not say one big industry is better than the other.  We need to make our messages clear or else we play directly into the strategy of this ‘green spectacle’, and confusing the public.  If their is to be a message, it should be down with it all. 

Since this climate change green spectacle, environmental activists have lost its deep ecology ethics of fighting nature for natures sake, and that every living organism on this planet survives from it.  Environmental activists have become lost in the science.  Its almost as if we think that we have to be fair with the powers. This is how the power of the current system wants us to think.  They want to get our attention on coal and focus on that, and then they can trick enough people into saying hydropower is ok.  Then bam, they have a green light to harness a river and get even cheaper energy.  We are giving in to their strategies!  They can deal with the loss of a leaf from their tree, as long as you don´t pull it up from the roots.  

The climate change spectacle is now in my opinion the ULTIMATE Shock and Awe.  ´Shock and awe´ are actions that create fears, dangers, and destruction that are incomprehensible to the people at large, specific elements-sectors of the threat society, or the leadership.  Nature in the form of tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, uncontrolled fires, famine, and disease can engender Shock and Awe.´(from Shock and Awe: Achieving Rapid Dominance, the military doctrine for the U.S. war on Iraq).  From military coups to natural disasters happening one after another, the past 30 or more years using fear to push through policies that would not have ever been agreed upon otherwise.  But now, with the issue of climate change in everyone´s head, it will be used to terrorize us in every way we have been terrorized before, but encompassing all the single factors into one. In the name of security, Everything that living things depend is on its way to being commodified and privatised, to push us even further and possibly completely into pure Milton Friedman ´Chicago School´ of fundamental capitalist corporatism. 

For example, there is the endless privatisation of water. One, water is being privatised and harnessed for hydro electric dams, to produce ‘clean energy’ for multinational corporations, in which the water or energy does not reach the public and in the process is changing the ecosystem, and making the once alive nature into a stagnant cess pool, displacing whole communities kicking them off the land.  Dams release methane from decomposing vegetation which it flooded, which can be worse for the atmosphere than CO2.  Water is also the new oil for global financial powerhouses and water is being commoditized and traded in global stock exchanges.Today, in the USA, in addition to being able to buy water rights and purchase lakes on private land, an individual or a corporation can invest in watertargeted hedge funds, index funds and exchangetraded funds (EFTs), water certificates, shares of water engineering and technology companies, shares of multinational private water utilities, shares of multinational banks and investment banks that own water companies, and a host of other newfangled water investments in this U.S.$425 billion industry which is expected to become a U.S.$1 trillion industry within five years. And if one happens to be a tycoon, one can also create his or her own private water districts and water utilities.  Often, the picture painted by mainstream media and water-rights activists is too simple — that of a single corporation (such as Coca-Cola in India or Bechtel in Bolivia) "corporatizing water;" the real story is not just of flamboyant tycoons (such as U.S.’s billionaire and former oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens, or more recently, Hong Kong’s real-estate billionaire Li Kai-shing, or Britain’s magnate Vincent Tchenguiz) singlehandedly grabbing water rights or individual corporations (e.g., Coca-Cola and Nestlé) sucking dry springs and groundwater to the detriment of poor subsistence farmers or slum-dwellers, but vastly complex global networks and partnerships of investment banks and private-equity firms linking together with other institutions (such as public-sector pension funds in Australia, Canada, and Europe; and sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East and Asia) and multinational corporations elsewhere to buy up and control water worldwide. The World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) are also pushing for the privatization of water services. 
 
Not only are individual corporations buying up water but a deluge of globalized capital are also rapidly buying up water and consolidating their foothold in the water sector; these capital entities are investment powerhouses such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Merrill Lynch (before it was sold to Bank of America), Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Macquarie Bank, Allianz SE, UBS AG, HSBC Bank, Alinda Capital, The Carlyle Group, Barclays Bank, Nomura Holdings, and many others. In fact, Wall Street and their global banking and corporate partners are aggressively buying up water all over the world. Wall Street and multinational banks are seeing water, food, energy, and public infrastructure as safe investment havens with stable returns and financially liquid assets. Simultaneously, they are waking up to the golden opportunity presented by the current reality of a thirstier, water-scarcer world, rapidly depleting groundwater and aquifers, increasing water pollution, soaring water demand exerted by population increases, fast-rising agricultural and industrial uses. Like 
 
Only 2.5 percent of the earth’s water is freshwater — and of that 2.5 percent, 70 percent is locked in the glaciers, ice caps, and aquifers,  Almost all the rest is deep underground, or locked in soils as moisture or permafrost. Only 0.3 per cent of the world’s freshwater is found in rivers or lakes.  so less than 1 percent of world’s freshwater (or 0.007 percent of world’s water) is accessible and potable for humanity, to be shared by the world’s 6.7 billion people, the myriads of wildlife and ecosystems, and humans’ agriculture and industries.So when governments want to intervene in places like the middle east because they predict conflicts will arise or even they do arise because of water shortage,  it obviously is a problem that was started by the same authorities that are acting against a people because of consequences of them taking these essential resources.  In McCloud California, the local and federal gov´t decided not to recognize a certain indigenous tribe, because its native land has a river which Nestle wanted to privatise for a bottled water company.  So obviously these crises of food and water shortages are started by commodification and privatisation. 

Agrofuel(biofuels) monocultures are liquid fuels produced from agricultural crops, linked to accelerated climate change, deforestation, the impoverishment and dispossession of local communities, bio-diversity losses, human rights abuses, water and soil degradation, loss of food sovereignty and food security.  Industrial agriculture, industrial logging and industrial tree plantations are major causes of greenhouse gas emissions and of the destruction of natural ecosystems and biodiversity, which are essential for regulating the climate. They also drive the destruction of sustainable agriculture, displacing small farmers, indigenous peoples, forest and other communities. They are inherently unsustainable and can never be part of the solution to climate change.  Food riots have already broken out in Mexico(And many more are to come), where prices rose on corn, because of ethanol production to fuel cars.  With over 865 million hungry people in this world, and the number always rising, it is very puzzling why we would be growing food for hungry cars and not hungry people. 
 
Now the organic industry. In the past 10 years more organic food is now sold by chain stores like Whole Foods.  Eight of the top food corporations own the 38 largest organic businesses. Archer Daniels Midland, Cadbury Schweppes, Coca-Cola, ConAgra, Dean Foods, Dole, General Mills, Groupe Danone, H.J. Heinz, Kellogg, Mars, Parmalat Fianziana, Kraft, Sara Lee, and Tyson Foods have formed partnerships with organic companies or developed their own organic lines and no longer synonymous with small farms, rural communities, social justice and humane treatment of workers and animals. Institutions like the USDA(United States Department of Agriculture) is permitting private, for-profit organic certification firms to create their own standards, which means corporate interests can shop around for the most lenient certifiers. 
 
Then we come to carbon trading. Carbon trading is essentially a way for the biggest polluters to look like they are doing something about climate change and make a fortune inthe process.  Governments arbitrariliy give out carbon credits, usually to the biggest polluters, and they are normally traded as a commodity.  Schemes like REDD(Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation), CDM´s(clean development mechanisms), and joint implementation are  ways of privatising, selling, and profiting more off of our natural resources.  
 
REDD reforestation, takes land rights and responsibilty away from the local people, and in the hands of corporations.  And also, in many cases like the planting of eucalyptus trees in brazil, which are monoculture forests and not indigenous to the local; change the ecosystem, are drying up the land and affecting important medicinal plants that the locals use to survive.

Clean Development Mechanisms is allowing industrialised countries with a greenhouse gass reduction commitment (called Annex A countries) to invest in projects that reduce emissions in developing countries as an alternative to more expensive emission reductions in their own countries.  CDM projects, for example, allow company´s to privatise whole rivers for damming to produce ‘renewable’ energy for multinationals in developing countries, which give them carbon credits to pollute more in other places, but as a added bonus the energy is most of the time really cheap, so there gross income skyrockets. Wow, climate change, can pay off huh!  No wonder there is more talk about climate change by multinationals. 
 
All this privatising also means more surveilance, because of ownership.  There is already cases of satellite surveilance on forests which have been bought under REDD in the name of reducing emission,  where local indigenous people, small farmers, and locals which use these lands either can´t at all or have to ask permission to use this land.  And with all this new green technology comes new mean hi tech surveilance to watch over and make sure nothing happens to it. 
 
Now the most disturbing bit of all!!!  The icing on the cake that makes climate change the next SHOCK AND AWE! 

The debate over climate change and global warming management at the UN is a struggle among the national ruling establishments for their own interests on the international diplomatic stage. While there is concern that climate change can have unforeseen political and economic consequences, these competing capitalist states have no means of seriously addressing the issue, other than making preparations for cracking down on social unrest.  

The US, for its part, defends the short-term interests of its ruling elite by seizing natural energy resources through both privatization and war.  Sections of the political and military establishment are planning for the consequences of this warming and are developing military strategies to deal with it.  In a new report released one day before the Security Council meeting, US military experts described the dire situation facing world powers. 
 
It was said in the New York times recently that ´the changing global climate will pose profound strategic challenges to the United States in coming decades, raising the prospect of 

military intervention to deal with the effects of violent storms, drought, mass migration and pandemics, military and intelligence analysts say.´´Such climate-induced crises could topple governments, feed terrorist movements or destabilize entire regions, say the analysts, experts at the Pentagon and intelligence agencies who for the first time are taking a serious look at the national security implications of climate change.´ 

A growing number of policy makers say that the world’s rising temperatures, surging seas and melting glaciers are a direct threat to the national interest.  Drawing upon peer-reviewed climate studies, the report warns that within three to four decades, climate change will spawn wars over water, increasing famine and disease outbreaks, inundation of populous coastal cities, and mass human migration. “The chaos that results can be an incubator of civil strife, genocide and the growth of terrorism,” it states, urging US military preparedness. The report, National Security and the Threat of Climate Change, was undertaken by the government-funded national security think tank, the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA)(made startling innovations in the art of using technology to listen in on, read, decode or otherwise intercept messages from anyone),  and co-authored by a military advisory board comprised of retired top-level brass, including six Navy admirals and five generals.  There is also a similar document by the American Security Project.

In particular, military experts say that the potential scale of catastrophe could trigger revolution and political upheaval.  They say, “Many developing nations do not have the government and social infrastructures in place to cope with the type of stressors that could be brought about by global climate change,” the report states. “When a government can no longer deliver services to its people, ensure domestic order, and protect the nation’s borders from invasion, conditions are ripe for turmoil, extremism and terrorism to fill the vacuum.”

While developing nation states with large populations are seen as especially vulnerable to such social unrest, the report also notes that all regions of the world may experience profound upheavals, including the developed countries of Europe. The report advocates bolstering US military bases and key allied governments in unstable regions of the world.

They say, "Mass migration from coastal and poor regions into richer countries is seen as a likely result, exacerbating social strife. The US and EU uses large numbers of likely climate refugees in order to use it in their own right wing propaganda, to create fear against these people and use it as a means to strengthen borders.  

Military experts in the US have said, “A changing and uncertain climate will demand we adapt to new conditions affecting: Why we apply our nation’s power (in all its forms), around the world; How and where specifically our military is likely to have to fight: And the issues driving alliance relationships (and whom are we likely to find on our side on the battlefield).”  This is just straight fascism!  They go on further to 

also say that, “Climate change will force changes in “why” the United States gives aid, supports governments, provides assistance, and anticipates natural and man made disasters, or goes to war. It will do so because climate change threatens unrest and extremism as competition for dwindling resources, especially water, spreads." So why is all of our resources being privatized if you don´t want unrest. There will definately be unrest when people now have everything taken away, even water and air. the most basic of human need.  Military experts have also said  "Weak or poorly functioning governments will lose credibility and the support of their citizens. Under these conditions, extremists will increasingly find willing recruits.” In addition, they say “regions most at risk from climate change are also those regions with the highest incidents of interstate conflict, radicalism, and terrorism."  So really, they are just talking about the average person, who has been pushed of their land and all their livable resources taken, and any and everything else they could do. Then be called a terrorist for resisting and trying to take back.  Then they say, "Climate change will increase demands for our military to carry out ‘relief’ and ‘disaster’ assistance missions."  And we all know how these operations are carried out! with brutal militaristic precision.  Disaster relief is a military occupation! 

Since writing this article, on sept 25, the CIA has opened a center on climate change and national security.  " Its charter is not the science of climate change, but the national security impact of phenomena such as desertification, rising sea levels,   population shifts, and heightened competition for natural resources." from cia home page.  Also,recently the General Assembly of the United Nations, expressed deep concern, and invited major United Nations organs to intensify efforts in addressing security implications of climate change. So this process is already happening and underway.  The Shock and Awe is working!  They are passing legislation through left and right, and if we don´t react on it, more of our freedoms will be taken away.  

Also recently there was news that Some U.S. senators are calling for bipartisan action in Congress on climate change, ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December.  It said in this article that, "Retired Air Force General Charles Wald, former deputy commander of United States European Command, said climate change has also become a national security issue, because it increases competition for scarce resources and could trigger new waves of refugees. What we are recommending is that we, the United States military, start putting climate change in our national security planning, that we, the United States demonstrate leadership in the world," he said. "In my travels around the world it is very apparent that hardly anything major in the world is ever going to happen without U.S. leadership, and the world is begging for that."

Then of course the prison industrial complex plays a big role in this.  The mass privatization of the prison system allows for private funding of course and more jails,  to imprison more people!  They are going to need them to be able to make use of the new high tech surveilance and security systems they have in place, to be sure nothing happens to the physical infrastructure of the system.  Peoples every little move will be watched, and spotted for signs of resistance and will be confronted with.  Everyone who is not wealthy will be considered a terrorist. 

So, in closing.  If we don´t start attacking climate change from its roots, and seeing that the system we are in cannot and never intended to solve climate change, then we will be doomed to even more repressive and oppressive regimes, and even a rollback on the rights that were worked so hard for by our comrades in the past and it is already happening!  They have divided and conquered us for a long time, and they have alot of tools to keep it this way.  But they are all man made tools.  If we can build up our hearts and realize the root causes and that pacifism does not imply love.  Love has emotion, and emotions are not passive and flatlining.  So to topple this system and create horizontal communities, we must fight with this love for ourselves, love for our families, friends and comrades.  This is not a passive love, this is an emotional burning love.  True love is radical, and dangerous to this sterile system.  

I will end this with a quote from Sun Tzu, the art of war.   ´However desperate the situation and circumstances, do not despair.  When there is everything to fear, be unafraid.  When surrounded by dangers, fear none of them.  When without resources, depend on resourcefulness.  When surprised, take the enemy itself by surprise.´
