From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essay by<\/strong> Eric Worrall<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026 The only word I can use to describe it is brutal. \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fears Pacific climate change \u201cnot on the agenda\u201d for US aid funding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump\u2019s 90 day pause on all USAID funding threw the sector into chaos. As the administration assesses which programs are considered suitable use of funds, it\u2019s clear one area doesn\u2019t fit that brief: climate change. It\u2019s also the biggest issue in the Pacific.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was shocked. Well, I shouldn\u2019t say shocked, because we knew Donald Trump was going to do radical things. So, it wasn\u2019t a shock in that respect, the fact that he actually did it, and when we saw the scale and the rapidity of the pause, that\u2019s what was really shocking. The only word I can use to describe it is brutal. It was a brutal, abrupt stop, which has all sorts of implications for people\u2019s lives and their welfare around the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs<\/strong>, and expert say as many will lose their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those programs help communities adapt to extreme weather changes, through education and training.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents are advised on<\/strong> skills including which crops to grow<\/strong> that can withstand extreme weather, how to develop disaster-readiness plans for households and improve water and food collection and preservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you imagine anything more absurd than a bunch of US funded Western bureaucrats trying to tell subsistence farmers who have worked the land for dozens, perhaps hundreds of generations how to farm? These are people about as connected to the land as it is possible to be, their very survival depends on thousands of years of accumulated knowledge and skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our close family friends is a Pacific Islander who grew up in an island farming community. \u201cGreen thumb\u201d doesn\u2019t cover her deep understanding of tropical gardening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will happen to the recently unemployed is an interesting question.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I doubt anyone will die, that\u2019s just alarmism. My guess is the unfunded foreigners will leave, either immediately or when their money runs out. The natives they used to employ will probably go back to farming. After all, their already formidable native skills have allegedly been enriched by all this foreign expertise, and hopefully they saved some of the money they were paid. They should be well placed to become very successful farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
