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...

The lost decade

Imatge
We are arrived to 2020 without any of environment and climate goals achieved Today we passed to new decade. The last days newspapers and magazines make reports and extrapolations about how our world would look in the next 30 years. Some are optimistic, other give more alerts about the future; but too much seem that lives in other planet. If we see the last 30 years, we see a humanity worried about how it can grow but forgetting that planet is finite. Planet haven’t infinite land to build infrastructures, haven’t infinite air to store our polluted gases and infinite space to hide our trash. When media publish about what we must do in the next 30 years, but they forget what we hadn’t been able to do in last 30 years. Australia fires - people trapped in beach   When I began to write this blog, many people told me that we must write in positive. Well, I’m not the most joyful of person of this planet. It’s too much hard to talk in positive about future in the current cont...

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...

Climate hits us

Explain a tale that two rabbit saw a group of animals came running towards them. When seeing them, instead of putting on a prudent defense, they started a discussion on whether greyhounds were coming hunt both or a few pigs who gave them a ride. While they were discussing whether something or other, the pack of dogs reached a distance where they could not distinguish if they were, but it's too late to flee. Today regarding climate change will still discussing whether or not when already noticed this breath. Extreme weather devastation Where are the deniers of climate change? Even a year ago at the height snowstorm in the Northeast US, a congressman of science committee had the nerve to show a snowball and questioning the science on global warming; Today the Northeastern US which has almost summer temperatures, we should ask him where are his hidden snowball. At Christmas 2013 and 2014 entry a sudden cold wave in the summer of Antarctica caused hilarity of the skepti...

Humans evolved towards Borg or we will fall in love to own smartphone

Some days before, one post title caught my attention: “ In The Future We Will All FallMadly in Love With Our Toasters ” (by Tom Critchlow). He pondered about the relation between us and our electronic kits. I used word kit with the two senses because our relation with the smart phone is deeper than own sons . What are a person when the lamp has the same reactions Is Pinokio only a lamp? It could possible to fall in love with the cat. However it’s a living being and gives you its senses and affection ( cat sometimes, dog forever and ever ). But toast is something and inanimate, nevertheless in this post shows the a little film ( IsPinokio only a lamp? In Vimeo, but the extend version is linked below in Youtube) when the lamp take animation and interacted with our movements and expression. I remember an old cat that every morning climbed on Romba (sweeping robot) which carry it for all the house, but the most interest was seeing cat go to Romba when it was stop and remain...

Is there room for hope?

Imatge
People talk a lot, but they made less. Time is passing and world is turning without stopping and waiting what we decides to do. Weather is every day more extremely, nature is deteriorating faster and number of persons in the world is growing rapidly. But nobody do something to arrange the trouble (read  Trying to understand Warsaw ) . But could we do something really? This is a very difficult question to answer. First we have facts in front us but what is happening really isn’t so clear; because in one way there are a lot of analyses which are showing many kinds of scenarios and in other way facts are seeing as own prejudices says they would be. Second there are more interest playing in climate fight: we have whole industry of fossil which doesn’t want to lose this lucrative business , but other industries which have invested millions in facilities that needs oil or coal (power companies i.e.), and we must not forget the main industry of this world: financial economy whic...

After storm will always be calm

Sometimes skeptics of Climate Change talk about how people will be able to live in a hotter or cool climate. They show as prove the multiple changes of climate that our species has pained in all of its history. It’s true that humans were living in two ice age and other ages when climate was more warm than today . These things prove how great our capacity of adaptation at boundary conditions is. But when we talk about Climate Change, we aren’t talking about what will happen after but we are giving reference of what will be happening in transit.   Of course, after changing climate will be normal . Humans that will remain in Earth can begin other time their activities. But nothing will be equal as before . The new normality will be different as today and all beins of our planet will change its geographical distribution, number, and relation with other beings. Humans couldn’t continue their current activities, they will have another, but current activities are linking with c...

How will workers life after total robotic industry?

Terminator returns from future that machines were won the war with humans. The history talk about a rebellion of robots with superior intelligent and they arrived at the conclusion that humans were redundant. NY Times in this article related a history about industry without workers and there are only the first because it will extends to all the world even china and emergent nations. The mechanization was come the liberation of heavy works to humanity. And its extension was been a point of inflexion with a global health and life quality. On the other hand the progressive advance of mechanization reduces the number of workers in manual jobs too. This reduction is supplied by creation of new kind of jobs, but it never is so quickly for compensation the destruction. The results of them some people are leaving off the system in the process. The logical evolution will come to total mechanization of industrial work. But not only because administrative work has mechanized too; maintenance, d...
