Environment Department doorstep.
PM branded climate failure as UN releases key report Greenpeace campaigners dumped four tonnes of coal on the doorstep of Tony Blair's environment department and branded the PM a climate failure. Soon after 10am a truck daubed with the message BLAIR DUMPS CLIMATE tipped the coal outside the entrance to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in Westminster.
The move coincides with the Paris press conference at which the latest assessment of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is released. The study will say with more certainty than ever that humans are warming the planet to dangerous levels. In the face of the increasingly certain science of climate change, Blair's response is to continue to lead the UK in completely the wrong direction in the fight against climate change. Greenpeace today released a dossier showing that: For the first time in twenty years proposals for new inefficient coal-fired power stations are being submitted by power companies in the UK. The use of coal for electricity generation has gone up from 47.3 to 52.5 million tonnes a year under Labour. CO2 emissions in 2005 were only 6.4 percent below 1990 levels, way off the governments target of a 20 percent cut by 2010. Blair's boast that the UK is set to meet and exceed its Kyoto target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is mainly due to the policies of previous Conservative administrations which made the 'dash' from coal to gas. The Kyoto target (a 12.5 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions on 1990 levels by 2010) was all but met when Labour took office. CO2 emissions - the main greenhouse gas - have risen since Blair came to power in 1997, from 548.4 million tonnes per year to 554.2 million tonnes in 2005. Emissions from domestic aviation (internal UK flights) rose by 7.1 percent from 2004 to 2005. Emissions from international (flights from UK) aviation rose by 5.7 percent. International aviation is not included in the Kyoto target, hiding its impact on rising UK CO2 emissions. Emissions from road transport continue to rise. Nearly 3 million more tonnes of CO2 were pumped out by road transport in 2004 than were emitted in 1997. Blair claims the UK is only responsible for 2 percent of global emissions. In reality transferral of the UK's manufacturing base to China - the world's most energy inefficient manufacturing nation - has led Britain to, in effect, export its emissions. We are also the world's seventh largest emitter, responsible for more than 112 of the world's smallest emitting nations combined. Greenpeace climate campaigner Jim Footner said: "The top climate change experts have today confirmed that we are on the verge of climate catastrophe. Yet, shockingly, Blair has presided over an increase in CO2 emissions from coal-burning, aviation and road transport. "And as if that wasn't enough to wreck the planet, he now plans to dump new coal fired power stations on the UK. These aren't just hideously dangerous for the planet, they're also woefully inefficient". "If Blair really thinks he's a world leader on global warming, then he's totally deluded. It's time for less government spin and more real action to reduce CO2 emissions." Despite the latest conclusions from the IPCC, Tony Blair is ushering in a new generation of coal-fired power stations in the UK. Greenpeace is campaigning for a phase-out of such power stations and instead backs localised or 'decentralised' power generation, which is much more efficient.
Currently, most British power stations waste two-thirds of the energy they generate in the form of heat escaping up their cooling towers. By locating smaller generators close to where energy is used, the heat generated in power stations can be captured and used to heat our homes. Decentralised energy is already working in many European countries and powers cities like Copenhagen and Malmo. Along with a range of renewable energy technologies it is the key to modernising the energy industry and slashing its massive contribution to climate change.
In the UK, Woking Council has reduced its carbon footprint by 77 percent by employing decentralised technologies. THE WAY OF HARMONY Aikido was founded by Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969), who gained the skill to control many attackers at will. He was unique in his ability to express his understanding of universal principles and laws of nature. He was also a very spiritual person who spent years in study, prayer and contemplation. This is a martial art of Peace that develops in us an acute awareness of our surrounding environment, the ability to be calm, focused, relaxed and centred. Millions of practitioners around the World experience the positive benefits of... Aikido - The Way of Harmony
OPTIMUM NUTRITION SERIES
To live at the peak of your life here on the planet earth, it is essential to develop a positive healthy lifestyle. As part of this lifestyle you must include a definite plan to ensure you are getting and absorbing the necessary nutrients from your food.
The foods and supplements You choose to eat on a daily basis can either improve your health or damage it. Dr Linus Pauling, twice nobel prize winner No one diet plan is suitable for everyone, we are all individuals, although there are general guidelines that apply to all of us. To achieve optimum nutrition You must consume nutrients that... 1) Promote your best mental performance and emotional balance. 2) Promote your best physical performance. 3) Linked with the lowest incidence of ill-health. 4) Linked with the longest and healthiest life-span. Through the study of evolution it becomes clear that the environment we choose to live in determines our diet. Humans now have the ability to choose what they eat, but will we nourish ourselves in a way that does not plunder the resources of the planet. Optimum Nutrition Tips 1) Arise in the morning in line with natural sunlight hours and dont eat before fully awake or late at night. 2) Eat when you are hungry, not out of habit. Eat little and often, chewing your food thoroughly. 3) Eat half of your diet as raw fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds. 4) Eat food as raw and unprocessed as possible, preferably organic. 5) Drink plenty of water and avoid sugar and sweeteners. 6) Minimise your intake of dairy foods and refined wheat and grains. 7) Keep active and take regular exercise.
Some of the benefits of optimising your intake of nutrients are... improving intelligence, memory and mood, increasing energy and resistance to stress, achieving peak physical performance, turning back the clock, beating cancer, fighting infections naturally, detoxing the body, defeating allergies, reducing fat, etc. Some experts believe that there are a group of super substances that are particularly effective in counter-acting the effects of ageing.
New substances are constantly being researched and studied and there may well be others added to this elite group in the future. The following Superfoods are of particular interest to anti-ageing...
Carotenes, Flavonoids, Glutathione, Co-enzyme Q10, Carnosine, Phospholipids, Alpha Lipoic Acid. Deep breathing exercises are necessary to improve your abilty to absorb all of the organic foods and supplements you are taking. These can be done along with your individual exercise routines.
Water plays an important role in the maintenance of good health and the prevention of age-related conditions. Health experts recommend drinking 6-8 glasses of water every day. Mankind's desire for better health leads to a focus on those few herbs and minerals that can give special help and have been designated as miraculous... red potato, pimiento, kelp, alfalfa, goldenseal, spearmint, etc. OPTIMUM NUTRITION Like all other animals on the planet, we spend our lives processing organic matter and waste products. How efficient we are at it determines our energy levels, our longevity and state of body and mind. Good digestion begins with the senses... the sight and smell of food begins a chemical reaction that gets us ready to digest and absorb our foods. Chewing is very important as messages are sent to the digestive tract to prepare enzymes for the break-up of the particular food we are chewing.
In Hatha Yoga, practitioners are recommended to chew each mouthful 36 times before swallowing to ensure absorption... We all have a large list of nutritional requirements necessary to experience optimum health. These cannot be met through the foods that we consume, many of which have little nutritional value as the soil they are grown in is depleted of minerals. They are sprayed with chemical insecticides, pesticides, processed, heated, with many chemicals added. What chance do You have, unless you always eat organically produced foods. Science has identified mineral defficiencies as contributors to many diseases and health disorders. These are natural healing agents present in such small quantities that our supplies are easily exhausted.
It has been proven that these minerals are life itself, and without them our tissues and organs weaken and waste away. A mineral-rich diet helps condition us for optimum health. The healthier we are the better we can resist illness and disease. A shortage of just one mineral can disrupt the harmony and balance of the body's systems.
While there are many minerals, all of which are vital, the 'Magic 14' rule and dominate over all others... Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron, Iodine, Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Copper, Sulphur, Silicon, Zinc, Manganese, Chlorine, Fluorine.

OPTIMUM NUTRITION Before humans knew of the chemical nature of food and its effects on the physical body, they were more aware of the spiritual properties of food, and the effects on the personality and emotions. Humans are more than a mere physical body, and composed of more than purely chemical elements. In the oldest of the secret or sacred writings regarding the nature of mankind's personality and character, there are references to the fact that the physical body is a necessary instrument or machine used to carry out the spiritual qualities in man's being. The tone of the voice, the look in the eyes, the creation of tenderness, sympathy, understanding, joy, happiness, sorrow... are all part of the personality of spirit projected through the body and mind.
Weaknesses of character always develop in those who are in poor health and badly effected by the glands of the body. Science has discovered that character and personality are attributes of the inner part of the body and mind. These have a greater bearing on our happiness and success in life. A strong character and personality attracts positive attention. Some scientists claim that each one of us in our individual expressions and distinctive characters, are just an expression of the state of the functioning of our glands. So it is essential that all the glands are working properly in order to be truly healthy and express our power. The spiritual energy flows through the body and mind via the energy centres and glands. If it flows freely we will experience a successful and full life with a magnetic personality. If it is blocked then we may have problems that effect our health. The spiritual side of our nature is the leader that pushes us on to greater levels of being, taking us away from the physical and animal side of our nature. The great inventors, artists, writers, philosophers and thinkers have all received their impulses of truth through their spiritual nature.
When we analyse our source of spirituality we find that there are two main ways spirit energy enters the body...
One is through the air we breathe, with its power coming from the source of all energy, the Sun. The other is through the quality of the food we eat and the purity of the water we drink. In all 'civilised' lands the tendency is to alter nature's products before we eat them, this is a big mistake. Nature supplies food for us in its purest state, and this is the best way of using it for optimum health. The proper energy supply for the blood can be supplied in three ways... 1) Through deep breathing of fresh air. 2) Through eating natural organic food. 3) Through drinking plenty of pure water. Chlorophyll is the strange semi-chemical and spiritual essence in plants that gives leaves their green colour. It has something in it that is not just chemical. This supplies us with vitality and energy and is a part of the divine essence available to us. Science has shown that green leafy vegetables contain a high level of essential nutrients. Vitamins and minerals along with the chlorophyll spiritual essence. The popular term 'Eat Your Greens' is great advice. Many of these greens are available as organic and living foods, that come in powder form. These are excellent supplements to ensure you are absorbing the recommended nutrients to experience glowing health. Watercress, dandelion, celery, green lettuce, green peas, green beans, and onions used raw and added to your diet will give you more vitality and energy, vitamins, minerals and spirit essence.
In summary, we see that proper breathing, along with exercise that causes deep breathing, wholesome liquids, and vital foods are essential to a successful healthy lifestyle.
