The summit of leaders of eight most industrialized countries, the G8, held in Germany last week, had as its first point OA. Dg a shared commitment comparisons of the climate crisis: the goal is to halve carbon emissions by 2050 to decrease of 2 degrees Celsius, the temperature of the earth. The summit, called in front of Benedict from 16 ° G. Bush " successful," he brought, similarly to what happened to the Kyoto Protocol, the non-availability stratunitense imposing a limit on greenhouse gas emissions. A successful summit rightly for the American president, who dismissed the climate issue, was able to focus on the issue missile defense with Russia.
However, despite the absence of agreement, a question arises on what the G8 intends to take. It speaks both to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, diversification of energy sources, solar, wind, nuclear, and the introduction agrofuels. The progressive reduction of fossil fuels and fortune, because of the economic model in force, made up of GDP growth and consumption, has already led, as well as environmental disasters, a state of more or less violent world conflict (eg, to cite two known cases iraqueno oil-exploitation and the threat to Putin on cutting gas). The solution is simply that you would like to find substitute sources of energy, some sources, but housed in the same economic system of endless consumption.
From this viewpoint, the G8 lose sight of the real cause and then address the real problems not only environmental, but also the stress state of the planet, or a system Growth which assigns to a minority percentage of the vast resources and penalizes the majority of the population, those who have the resources (eg Africa).
Then maybe after 300 years of development, an idea of \u200b\u200bproductive activity-based economic growth, which has united, even in their differences, liberalism and socialism, it's time to take stock and a forecast for the future. Thinking of contrast, the system of values \u200b\u200bbased on GDP growth for an alternative system, the decrease .
