John is a long time EU staffer stationed in Brussels. Stuart Scott was asked to make a 'reality-check' presentation to UN aid agencies with responsibility climate change in May 2019 in Geneva, Switzerland. With a recent cancer diagnosis, Stuart was unable to travel, and John proved a highly qualified alternative speaker. Here is John's 'catastrophe-check' to the UN aid agencies attending. Diplomacy is the art and science of posturing, distortion and fabrication about underlying false and ideological mental positions about reality. We are operating under a global political network of self-delusional agencies and individuals who seem to believe that if they just keep repeating a false narrative about Reality it will become true and real. Parties to the climate talks need to stop talking so much and start acting. But for this to happen, the world's citizens need to take them to account. The Student Strikes and other forms of civil disobedience are what's needed, but much more of it. One day a week of student striking is an inadequate response for a future being stolen for a full seven-days a week forever. Stuart is hoping to heal enough from his cancer by treatment at the Mayo Clinic that he will be able to attend COP-25 to produce ScientistsWarning.TV programs daily again live from the climate talks. If you wish to contribute to the Fund for Stuart's Healing here's the link. bit.ly/2kiQz2T The parallels between the cancer Stuart has contracted and the cancer that human civilization has contracted are so strong that he is aching for the chance to make the case live.
