Tomorrow is now

200 years from the beginning to burn fossil fuels, we are in front of its consequences. The most incredible is how a lot of people denies it.

December of 2017 California is still burning. We ignore when it will finish but the result will be the disappearance of the California’s forest. We could talk about the current extraordinary weather of this days, but really these wildfires are the last steep of the great drought. The great drought killed one third of the trees which are becoming the perfect fuel.

California wildfires

This year was the year of wildfires and hurricanes (even in Europe). Every day the number of refugees grows. The number of regions without hope to rise after disaster also grows and people leave this regions for survive. Humans has passed the threshold of sustainability but what we do is double the losing bet. Losing for a people but a great profit for a less.

The sad situation is the interested blindness of economy powers. Oil and the rest of fossil fuels are still growing. Just finish the COP23 Russia has open the greatest liquated gas plant in the world, financed for the same countries which signed the Paris Commitment. This plant is in north pole and its economic viability is thanks to the fact that the path of the north has become permanent. I’m not indignant yet, I’m feeling shame to be human.

Hypocrisy and hide interests (or not so hide) are driving our world to the disaster. The dark future showed by models is here, but our governments and more of us prefer to see to other side.

The carbon bubble

Imatge
Atmospheric CO 2 is arriving other time at 400 ppm . Obviously last moths it was under mythic threshold but to follow the sawtooth graphic seems that the problem was overcome, but on the contrary graphic trend is growing in exponential. However as I related in “ Are 400 ppm of CO 2 the border to beginning the Armageddon, or not? ” to pass the threshold doesn’t mean that climate begins a spiral of weather disasters. Deniers, in their crusade against the evidence in climate , have profit of a cool winter for beginning their ridiculous idea of Global Cooling . Global Cooling is possible but to put tones of CO 2 in atmosphere isn’t a solution because Earth will be heating until CO 2 and temperature will take other time the equilibrium; but in other hand high CO 2 could do a rebound effect which will carry climate to the Ice Age (read “ The day after Tomorrow ”) CO 2 is growing and nobody does anything. The more powerful oil industry moves all of its influences for to stop

The prophets of the doom

In 1997 after two years of negotiations some countries signed the climate protocol in the third climate summit in Kyoto. Twenty-two summits after the ridiculous advances fade away like the fog. In the time of climate disasters denial is strong as never and carbon industry grows desperately. The title is the name give for Donald Trump to the climate activist. Despite we are far to the doom, really doom is getting closer to us every day. However economy is turn its eyes and insists to give the same advices about how we are to tackle the future. Economy is kidnapped by the money and these at the same time by the oil. The prophets can be annoying when say that you wouldn’t listen, especially if you know that they are right . The storm is here Why economy doesn’t want to listen to the prophets? This is the real question of the climate mess. If a new virus takes prominence, world make all the necessary measures to front the illness; in the other way endemic illness is hi

We don't know what we're betting

The countdown has probably already completed and Climate Change is inevitable, however to persist in making the same mistake will only give us the things to become worse. The oil and coal lobbies have won the game of democracy. Polls continue to support who helps coal and oil industry . No matter the manifestations of April 2017 and many others can be made, the reality is who talk about “climate is normal” or minimize impact of it, has more credibility than all studies and proves of nature. I could recall previous articles about the reality that we perceive (see " Ignore the evidence ") but the question is more complex than we might think. Warming without stop In 2007, the world economy was blown up. The reasons are many but the main thing is that the world's wealth, or rather, what we understand how global wealth really doesn’t exist. Billion and trillions of euros is just a number in a computer. 90% of transactions in our world they are financial , and these
