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 hidden if it attacks a strong economic sector, for example obesity. Health only matter if give money, and money is always before the human suffering. Climate is this endemic illness what will make to lose incredible amounts of money to cure it. Economy masters prefer to ignore prophets.

  

Crisis is an opportunity and speculators have taken it as a motto. The speculator buy low goods tomorrow will have a higher price for sale. When speculator hasn’t these opportunities, makes the news if have enough power. Wars, catastrophes, pandemics… are his opportunities. Climate Change is one of them, and no wonder if many conspiracy people believe that it is only a new hoax promote to speculators. Unfortunately we are facing a conspiracy but the deniers. In front the need of to stop to burn, the fossil fuel invest leave it and prices of fossil invest down; this is the great opportunity. Maybe you think that is a stupid act because price will continue downing. Well if they convince elector that “great money” is cheating them and allow the victory of those who prevent the course of events from changing. Today Trump age is running and the projection of oil production in USA is greatest than the oil gas madness of beginning of twenties. (Source THE US IS SET TO DROWN THE WORLD IN OIL).

World is going crazy. There isn’t enough market to get it and, as alert thinktanks, climate policy put in crisis oil business, in fact current prices are inviable it. But incredible there is money (more money really: Adding Fuel to the Fire: Export Credit Agencies and Fossil Fuel Finance). Global speculation has thought new ways as to flood world of plastic or create regional war.

Growth is our fate but it will be our death. Planet has the dimension that it has, no more. Space is still far to be our home. Even if we think, we could see that sea isn’t a possible home to humans. Despite city-ships which are sailing seas years (military mainly); every of these ships needs assistance from the ground for almost most needs. This is the reality of the space station, without Earth supply astronauts would die. Space life is only a fantasy today.

Humans have arrived to the borders of our finite world. There isn’t space for find new lands, the current sources are taken for someone or are extinct. The capital needs new goods where invest. But our technology has opened a new border: oceans are the two thirds of planet surface. The ocean exploitation has increased considerably in recent decades. In the next picture (source: phys.org) we can see how our expansion to sea is growing. The main problem of this expansion is our absolute ignorance of ocean mechanics. We are cry for the loss of coast, but we are putting structures that change the local currents which are changing the materials and biology distribution. No matter if the structure has an ecological purpose, fill the continental shelf of windmills create a great impact in tidal currents. However the greatest impact is the shipping for trade or holidays.

Expansion of sea uses and explotation

The lose-lose strategy: If economy masters buy the climate science point of view, and help to convince world governs to face the climate change, maybe humans will save and have a future, but the cost will be immense and we will never know if this sacrifice was necessary; however we still continue burning hydrocarbons and consuming every natural source until won’t be tomorrow. Dilemma is hard but every day that passes tomorrow fades away.
