Despite everything, it's Christmas again (2020)

This year 2020 has been an atypical year. It’s the year of the pandemic that’s not unusual in human history; in fact it happens more or less every 100 years. What has been unusual is the treatment: instead of letting the natural selection, that the immune systems adapt (as they end up doing) and that the mutations of the same virus lower its lethality (this is what happens to the virus, for survive virus is not interested to kill its host); for the first time it has been decided to fight the virus.

Nothing went well. Many people have lost their lives, others their way of life. It said: crises bring out the best in everyone. Unfortunately this has shown that this isn’t true. To the efforts and dedication that a small part of the population has done, the rest we have responded with protests and complaints; the five minutes of daily applause do not make up for the demonstrated lack of collective responsibility. Each claim, complaint or denunciation we could read implicitly "only for 1% of deaths". The random mistakes of infallible science have helped much either, the doctorates male/female alpha criticizing decisions for ignoring them, helped by journalists and other commentators with the only criterion of whether it is in their favor or against their interests. And the authorities have shown their incompetence, not so much by their fails, inevitable in a situation like this; but by the attempt to make a profit, not speaking clearly and hiding their mistakes.

Yes we must put distance between us. But it is so hard for us to understand, that the only weapon the virus has, is to take advantage of our behavior. Custom or selfishness are so hard like us, that we can’t understand that from March of this year and maybe in 2022 or never, we will be able to live the life that we did until this fateful date.

Despite everything, I wish you to have the best time possible these days, take care of yourself, and keep in mind that wanting to bring joy could bring death to others.

Merry Christmas and the 2021 will be better year than what we left.

And to give you some joy, I'm attach this link to a carol


Fortunately everything will end because nothing is forever. The virus and its consequences will join us in the coming years; and it will mark their whole life who has lived it.

    La pel·lícula 2001 no és entretinguda, l'art no ha de ser entretingut al 100%, ha de ser vist com una anàlisi, una realitat des d'un punt de vista diferent del nostre. No ens ha d'agradar perquè sigui bo no. Aquesta pel·lícula no busca entretenir l'espectador de la manera com ho fa Marvel amb les seves pel·lícules on tot és acció rere acció, baralla rere baralla. L'odissea espacial d'Arthur C Clarke i Kubrick (aquest últim només el 2001), mostren la realitat, mostren la vida en un futur. Més enllà de si hi haurà batalles posapocalítiques, et mostren un dia a la vida d'algú, en aquest cas posarem el protagonista del 2001, Dave Bowman, qui mostra el seu dia a dia, la seva vida sencera. Si llegim la novel·la de Clarke veiem fins i tot els pensaments de Moonwatcher (un dels simis del principi). Ens ha de quedar clar que l'art no es valora per què tant ens diverteix, sinó que tant transcendeix en la nostra vida i el món sencer

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

Imatge
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...
