In order for the debt crisis to benefit the environment, we should at least:

- a global political will going in this direction there (which is far from being the case if we consider the failure of the post-Kyoto).
- reform banking and speculative finance, by attacking "too big to fail"such as Goldm @ n & S @ chs;
- that part of the capital put into circulation under the global debt-money regime, be devoted to the allocation of credits (sovereign or not) primarily in investment towards renewable energies. Which would make it a "Marshall plan" for the energy autonomy of states.
- that the cost of raw materials is reassessed each year to bring it closer to the true recycling value of said materials (and that the recycling industries are not competed by the extraction of raw ore ...).
- that tax reduction programs be allocated as a priority to those who invest in renewable energies.
- that the geostrategic balance is not threatened. And so that the existing oil-producing countries are integrated into the development strategy for solar thermal power stations, so that they massively commit funds to it (even though they are the ones that still have the least real debt and -facto the most fresh money);
- thus, it would be oil that would finance solar energy!
- that the new world system is fair (unlike the carbon tax ...)
- go in a first stage, towards a period of high economic conditions, so that the countries have, at the same time the means and the time to adapt to the "new deal" world economic;
- it would be easy to achieve by putting the package on investments in renewable energies! And which would be immediately "profitable" by virtue of the re-evaluation of energy sources at their fair price.
- Make Désertec “big”. This is the great work that we all need.
- and "Last but not least", launch major prevention programs - with the help of global chemistry - to tackle the problems of agribusiness by" common sense "which should enhance the efficiency and speed of the food distribution chain" alive ”(and not as is currently the case: in the sense of facilitating the storage of devitalized food => obsolete paragdigma which dates from the 2nd World War!). Ditto in the breeding sectors, by promotion of quality, by banning hormones and antibiotics.

Which would only be normal, because sooner or later, these minerals will no longer exist, health - our most precious asset - will be lost, because we will have exhausted the capacity of health systems to control the disease at great cost (and the dreaded perverse effect will arrive, with bacteria that are multi-resistant to antibiotics) and all these cumulative fires - from unresorbed foci - that firefighting politicians constantly try to put out without tackle the causes ... while it does not stop boiling, will become uncontrollable (see the oil wars, the war against terrorism, the rise of insecurity, the increasingly violent ideological collective crimes, etc) ... We have reached saturation. The situation will get worse in all sectors if we do nothing! The worsening economic situation will only increase the debts, which will never be repaid, which will de facto cause the bankruptcy of the world banking system and the total clash. You might as well take the necessary measures as soon as possible! Without civil war ...

And of course, the way democracy works should be reviewed. We could base ourselves on the original paradigm, and cut the rotten branches: : Mrgreen:
