"What if the earth got out of this on its own?" This is the title of Laurent Cabrol's latest book. Let's not go four ways: this book is criminal. In what sense? This is what I will defend in this short post.
Staying at all costs
Laurent Cabrol, 61 years, is ousted beginning of 2008 TF1: it will no longer present Téléshopping. How to keep your media presence? Maybe the publication of a book dealing with a major problem would be welcome ... And if he wrote about global warming. Even better ! And if he tried to show that what we think about it is wrong! And no ! it would not be the man, the person responsible for this warming! Controversial thesis: at least the book will make talk, and Laurent Cabrol would not be totally dead and removed from the media. One last burst.
Ecological negationism
Basically, Laurent Cabrol's thesis is demagogic: it pleases those who do not want to make the effort required for responsible ecological awareness. "What if the earth got out of this on its own?" What if I could refrain from acting and engaging? And it is on this point that this book is criminal: it encourages us to stop making efforts to reduce our impact on global warming. In doing so, it contributes to endangering future generations and ourselves. Our house is on fire. He sprinkles it with gasoline.
A far-fetched thesis: the responsible sun ...
The sun is responsible for global warming? But of course ! This controversial thesis has been dismantled for some time in the journal Nature (CF.Agoravox), which has shown that the solar system is generally in a cooling phase. Which means that if the sun increased in intensity, the current global warming would be even worse ... For many years, theses resurfacing against human responsibility have resurfaced. But they rarely arise from great scientists.
The omniscience of Laurent Cabrol
Moreover, Laurent Cabrol emphasizes the fact that there is no certainty: meteorology and ecology are very uncertain sciences. Great fuzziness remains in our understanding of the world and in the relations between things. As a result, we can not even say to what degree man intervenes. Therefore, Laurent Cabrol thinks he is authorized to say that his thesis of the non responsibility of the man is worth as much as the opposite ...
O Mother Nature, hear our prayers!
Finally, the responsibility of the man is evacuated in favor of a Nature, Mother Nature, protector because self-regulated. The house burns but it self-manages: one way or another, everything is balanced. An immense proof of rationalism that offers us there Laurent Cabrol. A great think, no doubt. So great that, even as he denounces the lack of ecological knowledge, he professes THE truth, the only truth: Nature will solve our problems. Let's no longer sort our rubbish, consume more thirst, melt the remnants of the polar ice cap, raise the level of the oceans, let off on which better our greenhouse gases! Mother Nature will expiate our sins!
He is con that Cabrol (there are no other words) just like his publisher (his nigger?), Obviously the planet Earth will come out ... but at what price for biodiversity and humanity?
THEPermian extinction is a good example showing that the Earth has already survived a terrible warming ... but in 100 000 years ...
