Climate change: 300 000 dead per year, now!

[Christophe]

Global warming is no longer a virtual threat, but a reality already responsible for 300 deaths per year - the equivalent of the 000 tsunami, according to the conclusions of the report released on Friday May 2004 by the Forum global humanitarian, the foundation chaired by former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan.

This report, entitled "The human impact of climate change - anatomy of a silent crisis", is intended to be the first synthesis work on a subject so far addressed more prospectively, like the forecasts of the UN announcing 250 million climate refugees by 2050. As international climate negotiations resume next week in Bonn (Germany), its conclusions place additional weight on the shoulders of governments, responsible for reaching here at the Copenhagen summit in December, to an agreement to drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.

(...) The most marked consequences of climate change are on malnutrition, since half of 300 000 annual deaths attributed to it are victims of hunger. Then comes health, with warming appearing as the vector for a wider diffusion of certain diseases. Ten million new malaria cases and about 55 000 deaths have been identified. (...)

It is clear that in many arid regions the agricultural situation is on the brink of implosion.

So some 1 / 10e of more degree and less mm of water and it is the death for thousands of individuals.

I often say, the US military budget is 600 billion euros annually.

With this sum, we can install an EnR park covering all the world's electrical needs for at least 50 years.

Excuse the big groups and rich states too busy putting hundreds of billions on armaments, the army, oil, gas and coal and nuclear. And the Wall Street cravings of having burned tens of thousands of billions of euros...

Too bad because the pumping and desalination of sea water by thermodynamic solar energy solves "at one cost" (and suddenly ...) the problem of global warming, agriculture, drinking water , energy and geostrategic wars and, more generally, the raising of the standard of living in full respect of nature ... and humanity.

Do not worry about Raymond, it's not good for your heart ...

The problem is that man generally has a lot of trouble doing prevention ... the curative is the solution generally adopted by the capitalist system!

Otherwise I can not be ok with you anymore.

There is a budget even "worse" than that of the US military: it is the PUB in the world that represents 500 Billions a year of which only 10% per year would help to reduce hunger and thirst in the world SUSTAINABLY ...

In this regard, look 99F with Dujardin it's really a good movie ...

He spends tonight on the RTBF One at 20h25.

Chances are that it will be on a French channel in a few days because Belgium is often used as a test bench for programs audimat a few days before broadcast on a channel of France ...
