Summary
The UnionofPetrolStationWorkers.Com Foundation for World Development has a website which gives details of how it came to exist from starting with trades union activity to then build on the scientific investigations of its Founding Chairman (Dr Shantanu Panigrahi) to campaign for Human Welfare through Nature Conservation. It provides an analysis of the present organisation of world affairs and the reasoning on why this direction needs to change fundamentally now. The findings, beliefs and values for human welfare now and into the future are described in http://www.unionofpetrolstationworkers.com.
This World Conservation Council website focuses on the problems and possibilities for creating a World Council of Nations to address the issue of how mankind should direct it's future if planet Earth is not to deteriorate further towards its rapid demise in terms of being able to sustain life. Whether such an international organisation will always remain just a voice for the present United Nations to take account of or whether it should quickly replace the United Nations, only time will tell. The evidence collected by the UnionofPetrolStationWorkers.Com Foundation demonstrates the latter option to be preferable since the United Nations appears not to have the power to intervene in human matters to control the criminality that is driving the Earth towards environmental catastrophe. The World Conservation Council should be a world movement of like-minded people committed to the cause of Nature conservation who will compel their nations by peaceful means of debate only to adopt measures to reduce its economic growth ambitions, and combat global financial fraud in order to protect the natural environment from its powerful negative effects for the future of the planet and humanity worldwide.
Perspective
Why was a new organisation as World Conservation Council needed to campaign for a change in attitudes and for the adoption of measures to work towards the goal of Nature conservation? The answer is that when existing world organisations were seen to be incapable, or worse, to lack the knowledge to deal with the issues at the level of detail that is needed and were dealing with mere symptoms or superficialities, a new organisation had to form to lead from the forefront of the environmental movement. The need for action was imminent as there was no time to waste with diplomatic niceties which the opponents of change would use to undermine the new movement in their greed for nature exploitation that was continuing the wanton devastation of the land and the oceans. The battle to save planet Earth and its biodiversity from total extinction had begun as all issues including the so-called 'green revolution' of the latter part of the last century came into focus for reexamination.
It should also be noted that the Founder of the World Conservation Council approached the Friends of the Earth (FOE), first in the Spring of 2007 and then again at the end of August 2008 to take aboard its concern that the vast sum of money earmarked for the Hot Fusion process will be a total waste of money and human resources after writing to the Government of the United Kingdom over the issue. This remains a true concern of his today. The suggestion was also made to FOE that mankind should devote any of its additional resources towards examining the major threat confronting planet Earth, namely that of asteroids that are Earth-bound which would wipe out mankind in the same way that an asteroid 65 million years ago was supposed to have eliminated the dinosaurs but which also enabled the proliferation of mammalian kingdom from which we as human beings have evolved. The response of FOE to such suggestions was dismissive as it said that it now focusses on 'climate change' as being the major issue for the organisation to address, but it will not elaborate on this perception nor provide any evidence that the issue is real let alone what it's position is on tackling 'climate change' with any degree of success directly with schemes such as carbon dioxide trapping from power stations for storage underground, or on how carbon emissions can be effectively managed in an equitable manner by the imposition of carbon-trading schemes. Similarly, Greenpeace was approached on the energy-balance priorities equation, prawn farming off the coast of India and the development of the Narmada basin river dam project with similar silence in response. These organisations could not therefore be relied on as having the inclination or capacity to direct the global environmental movement or being too committed to their existing agenda and plans to consider changing to the new perspective from the revisionary analysis of the needs of the planet conducted by the UnionofPetrolStationWorkers.Com Foundation for World Development; hence, there was an urgent need for establishing the World Conservation Council.
