That's me, a real sicko! Bwahahaha! So I heard trafficking and enslaving children is "for the children". Mining Cobalt Sacrifices African Children On The Green Altar Of TechnocracyPOSTED BY: LUCY WYATT VIA THE CONSERVATIVE WOMAN JULY 19, 2023 Quote:The utter hypocrisy of Technocrats is astounding. The UN’s SDGs promise to save the world’s children and yet actual policies do just the opposite. Children are the most vulnerable group on earth because they are not able to defend themselves. Thus, they are trafficked, sexually exploited, injected, marginalized and in Africa, forced to work in harsh mining operations, such as cobalt mines. The depravity of man has no limits. ⁃ TN Editor
COBALT is essential to modern technology. All sorts of electronic devices rely on it, along with other elements such as lithium. Solar panels and electric vehicles (EVs) wouldn’t function without them. While the environmental degradation associated with both lithium and cobalt extraction is well established, the issues around cobalt are even more poignant because of the manner in which it is mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
A new book, Cobalt Red: How the blood of the Congo powers our lives, published in January this year, details the human suffering, especially of children, directly involved in the mining. Written by a Nottingham University professor, Siddartha Kara, from first-hand knowledge gained by visiting the Congo, this is a book that should be required reading for every local authority that is implementing the Net Zero agenda. (You can read a review here). Professor Kara is a British Academy Global Professor and Rights Lab Associate Professor of Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery. He advises several UN agencies and numerous governments on anti-slavery policy and the law. We should take him seriously.
What happens in the Congo matters because it is the largest producer of cobalt, accounting for 70 per cent of global production. In 2022 there was a reported output of 130,000 tonnes; the next largest producer, Russia, mined 8,900 tonnes.
