Imminent world war

It requires urgent solutions – solutions which, as the science makes clear, must be implemented within the next five years if we are to stand a chance of preventing runaway climate change and the social, economic and environmental devastation that it would bring.

Everything is in play. We have heard the warnings from scientists, economists and even military leaders: unchecked climate change will result in mass starvation, mass migration, mass extinction and amplify the causes of conflict.

Nature does not negotiate.

It will not wait for our political leaders to set aside their petty differences and short term self interest. It will not wait for civil society to join in common cause.

The time is now, the time to act and the time to set the world on a new path to a green and peaceful future.

In my opinion there is a strong possibility that there will be a great war in a couple of years. The planet needs it as well as the humankind. The small possible solution is far away from our politicians ambition. If somebody want to stop them means war, if the planet starts to go wrong (massive immigrations etc, there will be war. Scientist say that it will be the next 5 years forward, and they always are mistake and it is earlier… I am happy when I don’t read these news, but the reality is still there. At least I won’t have children to feel guilty when it happens.

And the more easy it is find this information and the more people I know or I read that they don’t care, the more I think we deserve it

Tim Flannery

“I’m going to talk about Tim Flannery.

Before anything else, I have to say that Tim Flannery is a leading (importante) Australian scientist, explorer and conservationist.

He is also the author of several bokks on ecological and other issues. His latest, ” the weather Makers“, talks abouth climate change.

He is a loyal to his principles and therefore he lives in a house which only electricity from solar panels.

He has a little hybrid car, a Toyota car. He usually travels by plane but to offset (contrarrestar) all off his emissions from travel, his carbon emissions, he pay a company to invest in wind power or something.

He also travels by aircraft instead of airplane, and generally tries to do things like eat local food, instead of food that’s been transported halfway around the world, using fossil fuels.

But it isn’t very common. Normally, people don’t know anything of this issue because of frightened to know the truth, and therefore they haven`t got a good lifestyle to the world’s healthy (salud).

He thinks the worst case that might happen is that the North Polar ice cap will melt (derretirse) and we will have a very rapid rise in sea level, and perhaps 500 million people will be displaced by the rising sea  level. We won`t be able to transport foods around the world, and the airports will become unfunctional. Then the people will start trying to protect their own little patch (parcela), and the 3rd World War probably will be able to begin. It would be a dark age, because now the world is full of nuclear weapons. He thinks that the most people living on the world will die, and it could be 5 years, 15 years or 30 years away, but that is his nightmare scenario.”

Well, it is my speak when I was in the EOI of Deusto in the ends of 2007.

I can add now that he had been named Australian of the Year 2007, and that  The Weather Makers, debuted on the New York Times bestseller list and won the 2006 NSW Premier’s Book of the Year Award.
