NEAR THE ARARIBOIA INDIGENOUS RESERVE, BRAZIL - JUNE 10: A man on a motorbike looks at a truck as it transports illegally harvested Amazon rainforest logs on a road near protected indigenous land on June 10, 2012 near the Arariboia Indigenous Reserve, Maranhao state, Brazil. Guajajara tribe members on the reserve say their forests are being plundered by illegal loggers who killed a member of their tribe who attempted to resist. According to the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), which tracks rainforest destruction by satellite, 242 square kilometers in the reserve have already been destroyed. From 1987-2011, 1.1 million hectares of wood disappeared in protected indigenous reserves, according to the Brazilian government. The Brazilian Amazon, home to 60 percent of the world’s largest forest and 20 percent of the Earth’s oxygen, remains threatened by the rapid development of the country. The area is currently populated by over 20 million people and is challenged by deforestation, agriculture, mining, a governmental dam building spree, illegal land speculation including the occupation of forest reserves and indigenous land and other issues. Over 100 heads of state and tens of thousands of participants and protesters will descend on Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, later this month for the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development or 'Earth Summit'. Host Brazil is caught up in its own dilemma between accelerated growth and environmental preservation. The summit aims to overcome years of deadlock over environmental concerns and marks the 20th anniversary of the landmark Earth Summit in Rio in 1992, which delivered the Climate Convention and a host of other promises. Brazil is now the world’s sixth largest economy and is set to host the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics. (Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife)
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - JUNE 21: Favela, or squatter settlement, construction is seen on a forested hillside on June 21, 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The expansion of favelas due to a housing shortage has contributed to Rio’s rainforest destruction. Many are constructed in the mountains and hillsides that surround the city, resulting in deforestation. Over 100 heads of state and tens of thousands of participants and protesters have descended on Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the June 20-22 high-level portion of the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development or ‘Earth Summit’.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - JUNE 21: Residents walk in a 'pacified' favela, or squatter settlement, beneath a mountainside on June 21, 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Rio de Janiero’s authorities have successfully 'pacified' a number of formerly crime-ridden favelas in the city although the expansion of favelas due to a housing shortage has contributed to Rio’s rainforest destruction. Many are constructed in the mountains and hillsides that surround the city, resulting in deforestation.

PARA STATE, BRAZIL - JUNE 08: A deforested section of Amazon rainforest is seen in the mist from an airplane at dawn on June 8, 2012 in Para state, Brazil. Although deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is down 80 percent since 2004, environmentalists fear recent changes to the Forest Code will lead to further destruction. Around 20 percent of the rainforest has already been destroyed.

RONDON DO PARA, BRAZIL - JUNE 08: Charcoal produced from illegally harvested Amazon rainforest wood is seen on June 8, 2012 in Rondon do Para, Brazil. According to a recent Greenpeace study, illegal wood charcoal is primarily used in Brazil to power smelters producing pig iron, which is used to make steel for industries including U.S. auto manufacturing. Illegal charcoal camps were found to sometimes result in slave labor and the destruction of rainforest on protected indigenous lands. Between 2003-2011, 2,700 charcoal camp workers were liberated from conditions akin to slavery, according to Greenpeace.

ACAILANDIA, BRAZIL - JUNE 09: People swim in front of a railroad bridge operated by Vale, a mining company and Brazil’s biggest exporter, on June 9, 2012 in Acailandia, Brazil. The railroad transports iron ore from the world’s largest mine across the bridge on its way to a port to be exported. The 554-mile line uses a train comprised of 330 cars and four locomotives and is the main lifeline of the country’s iron industry. The iron ore is used to produce pig iron, which is created in smelters fired by charcoal produced from illegally harvested Amazon rainforest wood. The Brazilian Amazon, home to 60 percent of the world’s largest forest and 20 percent of the Earth’s oxygen, remains threatened by the rapid development of the country.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - JUNE 19: A lone plant is seen in Guanabara Bay in a section littered with debris on June 19, 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The bay once held a healthy ecosystem, large fishing stocks and clean beaches, but deforestation and urban development have left the waters littered with debris. A large oil leak in 2000 spilled around one million liters of crude oil from an underwater pipeline into the bay. Following 1992’s Earth Summit in Rio, a $1 billion program was implemented to clean up the bay, but that goal has still not been met.

“Wind power facilities will consume more than 3 times the energy they will ever produce.”
Continue Reading → “The Earth Summit will abandon “global warming” and “climate change” as its main theme and instead focus on “sustainability.”
Continue Reading → The Agenda Shift
The agenda shift from the original Eco-92 gathering in Rio (1992), i.e. “global warming” to “climate change” to “environmental justice” to “social justice” happened slowly, but it was a long-term goal by its ideologists all along. By now it’s all about “social justice” with “collectives” that will tell you what you want or should do. The former buzz words ‘environment’ and ‘climate change’ have disappeared too.Moreover, with the previously touted “Global Warming” scare, supposedly due to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, rapidly being exposed as the greatest scientific hoax since “Piltdown Man” certainly does not help its cause either. However, the new deity, “social justice” also comes with its own set of conundrums.
Social Justice
In the end, it all boils down to a simple question: What would you rather have, the subsistence lifestyle of the peasant farmer or the conveniences of the modern city dweller? The answer is obvious from a simple fact:The majority of the 45,000 activists attending Rio+20 had not gone there by dug-out canoe!
