Roberts WA, Delta BC, March 13, 2020 – (Investorideas.com Newswire) -Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource
covering cleantech and renewable energy stocks (Renewableenergystocks.com) issues today’s edition of the Cleantech
and Climate Change Podcast, talking about today's problems and solutions
for the future.
Listen to the Podcast:
Today
we are looking at the global reaction to the coronavirus and how taking action
immediately has shown the virus can be managed and contained in countries like
Taiwan. While other countries waited to see how it played out, they are now
over-reacting and causing a global recession to potentially play out as stock
markets crashed. .
It
was just months ago that thousands of people were marching in the streets
protesting Government inaction on climate change and now we are being told in
parts of North America to limit our gatherings to 250 people. Is it surprising that the Governments we don’t
trust to handle climate change and making mistakes in dealing with the
Coronavirus?
According
to the Journal of American Medicine the
response done right? The response to
COVID-19 in Taiwan included Big Data Analytics, New Technology, and Proactive
Testing.
On December 31, 2019, when the World Health Organization was
notified of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, China, Taiwanese officials
began to board planes and assess passengers on direct flights from Wuhan for
fever and pneumonia symptoms before passengers could deplane. As early as
January 5, 2020, notification was expanded to include any individual who had
traveled to Wuhan in the past 14 days and had a fever or symptoms of upper
respiratory tract infection at the point of entry; suspected cases were
screened for 26 viruses including SARS and Middle East respiratory syndrome
(MERS). Passengers displaying symptoms of fever and coughing were quarantined
at home and assessed whether medical attention at a hospital was necessary. On
January 20, while sporadic cases were reported from China, the Taiwan Centers
for Disease Control (CDC) officially activated the CECC for severe special
infectious pneumonia under NHCC, with the minister of health and welfare as the
designated commander. The CECC coordinated efforts by various ministries,
including the ministries of transportation, economics, labor, and education and
the Environmental Protection Administration, among others, in a comprehensive
effort to counteract the emerging public health crisis.
The
takeaway we need to get from all of this is that Governments can get it right, see
a crisis and take action immediately. We have also witnessed that people can
adapt immediately if they think their lives are at stake. We can work remotely
if needed, we can travel less, and we can make changes. Let’s use this mindset
to take action for climate change – the C word that can potentially really cause
the end of the world as we know it.
Now
that I have made my rant, let’s get on to stock news and updates in the
sector. There is some green out there
again today, let’s keep it going.

In closing, let’s
really look at priorities long term. USA
Today reported on the recent UN statements. The planet is "way off track" in dealing with climate change,
a new United Nations report says, and experts declared that climate change is a
far greater threat than the coronavirus.
"It is important
that all the attention that needs to be given to fight this disease does not distract
us from the need to defeat climate change," U.N. Secretary-General Antonio
Guterres said Tuesday, according to Agence France Presse.
