You Know How We Can Solve The Climate Crisis (scam)? Threatening To Withhold Medical Care

I don’t know about you, but, I’m starting to get the idea that this whole scheme has nothing to do with science or the climate

Accessible healthcare could be key to solving climate crisis

Caring for people’s health is a prescription for protecting rainforests, slowing climate change and creating significant monetary value, according to a new Stanford-led study.

The analysis, published in PNAS on Oct. 26, finds that deforestation in an Indonesian national park declined 70 percent—equivalent to an averted carbon loss worth more than $65 million—in the 10 years after an affordable health clinic opened in the area. The clinic, which accepts barter as payment and gives discounts to villages based on community-wide reductions in logging, could provide a blueprint for preserving the world’s biodiverse carbon sinks while reversing poverty and poor health outcomes.

“This innovative model has clear global health implications,” said study co-author Michele Barry, senior associate dean of global health at Stanford and director of the Center for Innovation in Global Health. “Health and climate can and should be addressed in unison, and done in coordination with and respect for local communities.”

“If you leave that tree up, so that you don’t have fuel for cooking and homes, we’ll give you healthcare. Otherwise…..”

“This is a case study of how to design, implement and evaluate a planetary health intervention that addresses human health and the health of rainforests on which our health depends,” said study co-author Susanne Sokolow, a senior research scientist at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment.

Globally, about 35 percent of protected areas are traditionally owned, managed, used or occupied by Indigenous and local communities, yet the perspective and guidance of Indigenous Peoples and local communities are rarely considered in the design of conservation and climate mitigation programs. By contrast, the Indonesian clinic’s success grew out of the early and continued design by local communities who identified the mechanisms driving linked health-environment problems and the solutions.

So these people who Really, Really Care about indigenous and underprivileged people are essentially threatening to withhold medical care unless these people act in a Climate Cult manner.
