  • CLIMATE CHANGE (How can we not?)

Has been in Madrid (Spain) former President Clinton to referring to climate change, introduced in my opinion, an important nuance in the issue: climate change should not be a punishment for anybody, said Mr. Clinton. And actually, I have found that many politicians welcomed some measures that will annoy us the life if we are in the bottom side (it´s exactly my case) They advocated like a "neofranciscanism" from the middle age: everything happens by the will of God and if there is nothing, God will provide.

Climate change is also a good tool for anti-Americanism(?) and exploited for it by politicians who live on it. There are in Europe and Spain many of them and their wishes in economics are moving generally to blame the U.S. ahead of time, that will drag us to ruin. Or that the American crisis "pollute" the European economy,... things like that... but it´s clear that the economy isn´t theirs: it´s something else much more ancient and atavistic.

As the planet is "falling" they must put "deterrent" prices to this thing called energy. ( By the way, prices must be based in costs, not in "worries") However, they punish comsumption and so, economy will deteriorate because the master key of economy is consumption. In addition to eating and drinking, everything works when we can go to the movies, take a taxi or we buy a disc.

Moreover, for most people, consumption is nothing more than meet its needs, simply. However, in the words of politicians, generally, consumption is synonymous with redundant, unnecessary, irresponsible even.

And what is most dangerous for the ecology? Money. This is not good or bad; is simply well. Factories, engines, including ourselves, everything smokes, steams, "for money"; it is the economy, neither more nor less.

If the most polluting thing is money, which is the highest cost to the man and the earth, why do politicians spend it so unconscionable and so badly amounts? Normaly things have to be done several times, by jurisdiction issues. And the speculation?. I have no doubt that it is healthy for the economy as a "smart" percentage but not that all our money, our work, will be nothing more than "air" when they reach certain high political (and religious) levels.

Political class must learn what to be a human being is on this planet. At this era.

Here in Spain, they campaigning austerity (for people, of course). They are told, for example, that not leave appliances on standby, but the turn off. And it´s simply, that these machines come from the future but politicians and religious from the past.
