GLASGOW (Reuters) – After
a three-decade struggle, some
of the world’s most climateharmed
countries are inching
closer to securing more help
for the devastation caused by
global warming.
The first call to address loss
and damage caused by climate
change came in 1991,
when small island nations first
pushed to create a mechanism
to compensate vulnerable
countries for destruction
caused by climate impacts such
as rising sea levels and supercharged
wildfires. Rich nations
resisted acknowledging financial
liability for their years of
emissions that drove climate
change as they rose to economic
prosperity.
The impasse continued
through years of U.N. climate
talks. But in a draft document
released at COP26 in Glasgow
on Friday, negotiators for the
first time laid out a pathway for
addressing the issue by establishing
a dedicated agency. Yet
the draft stops short of setting
up a fund to compensate
climate-linked losses and damage.
Some climate-vulnerable
countries acknowledged the
modest progress.
“There are some important
hooks there that we can
build on, but we still have a
long way to go,” said Simon
Stiell, Grenada‘s minister for
climate resilience and the environment,
Caribbean Life, N 8 OVEMBER 19-25, 2021
after a meeting on
the issue. He called the draft
proposal “the bare minimum”
acceptable to vulnerable states.
Currently, the draft Glasgow
agreement under discussion
commits to realising within
two years what was described
as the Santiago Network during
the last U.N. climate summit
in Madrid in 2019, to “catalyse
technical assistance” for
developing countries to address
loss and damage.
That would involve creating
a separate secretariat under
the U.N. Framework Convention
on Climate Change, the
draft says, referencing financial
and technical support for its
operations.
“That’s the start of a breakthrough
from the demands
of vulnerable countries,” said
Yamide Dagnet, director of
climate negotiations at World
Resources Institute.
The loss and damage facility
would be separate from the
$100 billion a year pledged by
rich countries toward helping
developing countries quit fossil
fuels and adapt to a warmer
world.
But in the waning hours of
negotiations in Glasgow, climate
vulnerable countries and
environmental campaigners
said they will push for more.
Beyond creation of a secretariat,
they want a guarantee of a
fund dedicated to help recover
or rebuild when communities
are destroyed by climate-driven
floods, fires or drought.
The costs could be significant.
Economists estimate
costs from climate-related
weather damage could total
around $400 billion per year by
2030. A study commissioned by
development agency Christian
Aid estimated climate damage
could cost vulnerable countries

The United States and European
Union have long resisted
creating a fund for such payments,
concerned about being
on the hook for compensation
and liability.

“When I discovered ISOLATED STRETCH THERAPY everything changed...”
“Chiropractic adjustments were “scary” and “painful” so
I trusted my doctor and took pills and epidurals out
of desperation because living with chronic sciatica drained
the life out me.” BUT when I discovered ISOLATED STRETCH
THERAPY everything changed...
August 13 1970, Bruce Lee, a famous actor and legendary
Kung Fu hero, was told by his doctors he was never going
to be able to kick again after sustaining a crush injury to
his lumbarsacral discs, nearly breaking his back. Lee’s
from him leaving him with a devastating life sentence of
chronic sciatica...
So What! What does this have to do with
your sciatica or herniated disc pain?
Absolutely nothing and totally everything... You probably
have sciatica and you can understand the suffering and pain
it can cause. Like you, even Bruce Lee was told that there
was nothing to be done for his sciatica but Bruce Lee did
not quit martial arts for the rest of his life!
Despite the doctor’s prognosis that Lee’s S4 nerve root
and lumbar disc would never heal and that Lee would be
and strength in his leg in just 6 months! Bruce even regained
his ability to perform his signature cat-like spring loaded
roundhouse kicks with full power...
Want to know Lee’s secret and how it can
help you heal your sciatica?
Luckily, a few smart Athletic Trainers and Physiotherapists,
have deconstructed Lee’s stretching system to pain-free
flexibility and incredible power and reapplied these
principles to helping anyone at any age!

on isolated neural-muscular stretching. Stabilization straps

the leg, instantly releasing the sciatic nerve compression in 3

gymnast without expensive traction devices, oily expensive
massages or epidurals. It’s magic!
A skeptical Doctor in Brooklyn explains his experience with
ISOLATED “ACTIVE” STRETCHING...”It’s like what happens
if you were under anesthesia, we could put your legs behind
your head and you would feel no stretching pain or stiffness,
because the spinal cord and brain has no inpuLthe isolation
straps and active muscle contraction during the stretch
create that same perception...the muscle tone completely
I call this unique system: ISOLATED
STRETCH THERAPY...
This is a breakthrough stretching method that can help even
the toughest sciatic pain cases no matter what they have
tried already-guaranteed!
“LET ME JUST REST” – you are 100% correct! Resting helps
relieve the pain when you lay down or sit in a comfortable
position. Maybe it feels good now, but it’s doing you more
harm than good. Actually resting will make your hip muscles
lazier and weaker. Over time your sciatic nerve will begin to
lock your back even more...
WAIT! I agree with you! You tried traditional passive
stretching already and it may have failed and maybe even
made you worse off and really, It’s not your fault!
Isolated stretch therapy is nothing like
traditional tug and pull static stretching!
Let me explain how this works: )

works when you have sciatic pain, but with “Isolated Stretch
Therapy” the Physiotherapist uses precision strapping with
an exact directional stretch to unwind the stuck nerve while
One sciatica client said, “It’s like a high-performance tuneup
without going for an hour long yoga session... and it
lasted for 3 days!”
Exactly! We trick your brain to turn off the pain signal to the
active joint range of motion you forgot how to use, while
waking up your lazy leg and back muscles...
MASSAGE, ADJUSTMENTS, ACUPUNCTURE,
TRACTION, PASSIVE STRETCHING,
LASERS and EVEN INJECTIONS GIVE ONLY
TEMPORARY RELIEF FOR ONE REASON...
While I do agree that they feel really great and help relieve
your pain, they NEVER address the lazy muscles surrounding
the nerve. Again.Jike a tightly pulled seatbelt, the muscle
any of the above procedures. The sciatic nerve tissue gets
squeezed forcing your back or leg into constant stiffness,
numbness or pain.
OK! LETS SEE IF THIS CAN WORK FOR
YOU... TAKE THIS 30-SECOND SELF-TEST...

having pain, numbness or tingling in ONE LEG and the pain
does not pass the knee and If nothing has helped yet, ask
yourself these key questions, does the PAIN become worse
with: 1. Rolling in bed? 2. Getting up from a low chair or

If you answered yes, try this. Sit slouched forward
