Filtration of the IPCC report: "Life on earth will be renewed, humanity will not."
- That is the main title of the filtration carried out by the French agency AFP on the latest report being prepared by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). This institution is the most important institution in the world in the study of climate change and is finalising its seventh report.
In fact, this filtration is a preview of the report that is prepared for politicians and details that life on Earth can be renewed by major climate change, that life will develop to new species and that new ecosystems will be created. But it's clear: humanity is not going to have that opportunity.
The information in the reports is usually not advanced, so it could be a hypothesis that someone has filtered for a specific purpose. For what purpose? That when the final report comes out after the summer, it will not undergo major changes to the work carried out by the working team. Sometimes that is what happens, and perhaps the filtering author has wanted to avoid it, because the report is now particularly hard. In other words, the report confirms the conclusions of recent years, but pointing out that in the face of climate change, the option of redress is increasingly reduced, or that it may no longer exist.
In Canada these days it has reached 49.5 degrees, a temperature never reached before, and besides causing numerous deaths, it has been news all over the world. In spite of everything, we seem to be accustomed to this, and faced with that, Dr. Marta Tafalla, seems incredible, and does not understand that society is not very concerned about the climate change that comes to us:
"The vast majority of politicians do not seem to be concerned, nor do most intellectuals, nor the people of the academic world, of culture and journalism in general, or at least do not transmit it. I think people are not worried because our society is totally disconnected from the biosphere, and because they understand very little how ecosystems work, because they don't understand what a 2 or 3 degree rise means. Environmental education and ecological ethics should, as soon as possible, become the backbone of the education, press and culture system. If we do not get society as a whole to understand how serious the climate chaos is, there will be no way to alleviate it or to implement adaptation measures; I do not know if it is still possible, I have more and more doubts, but we should try."
This news has been completed with an interesting article by Juan Bordera in the publication Ctxt. He's the author of the filtration hypothesis that we've mentioned in this news item.
