Denial is a refusal to accept a reality that can be empirically verified. In the case of the environment, denying energy limits, peak oil or anthropogenic climate change. There is a strong ideological stream into which economic corporations and many political leaders can enter. The main reason for the refusal is that the economic system cannot suffer delays or decrees. If not chaos, because we will all live worse. For years, however, we have been witnessing a movement of translation and many of the agents who have been in ecological negationism have taken the path towards ecapitalism. I believe that there are two reasons for this change. On the one hand, the centrality of the environment, or rather of the socio-ecological crisis, on the media political agenda, and on the other hand, the recognition of science to environmentalism.
"We are seeing a movement of translation and many of the agents who have been in ecological negationism have taken the path to ecapitalism"
Science. The report leaked this summer by the IPCC (International Panel for Climate Change) has no doubt: declining is critical to overcoming the climate emergency. The linkage of scientific discourse, environmentalism and the mobilization and pressure of civil society is clearer than ever, but it does not guarantee the implementation of policies necesarias.El the economic system in which we live, capitalism, has to grow relentlessly in order to be able to stand. And denouncing the unfeasibility of green capitalism or ecotourism is not well seen in our political institutions and universities. From Professor Adrián Almazán, we have a clear example: They have just said goodbye to the University of Deusto to maintain the anti-capitalist “parresia”.
Negotiation. We read Juan Bordera and Antonio Turiel this perfect neologism. The giant renewable energy plans or investment niches generated by hydrogen are a good example of the fact that fossil energy businesses are not incompatible with the development of renewable energies. Another thing is to lower the price of electricity, or to plan or publish the energy market. We have recently seen in the Madrid Congress Aitor Esteban (PNV) in defense of Iberdrola. As long as cooperation between political parties and energy corporations or the phenomenon of revolving doors is not avoided, the business will multiply. And ecosystems are going to collapse, as science insists. Greta Thunder says the same thing as Glasgow. And some still say it's not anti-capitalist. What is going on!

It is not easy to understand what is happening in Catalonia. Certainly. We can end the 2017 process, but it remains to be seen whether independence will be able to start a new process of liberation.
If independence had been maintained in most elections, there would be another... [+]
We have been with the "summer snake" over the TAV for a few weeks and with the possibility of linking the "Basque Y" from Pamplona, from Ezkio or Vitoria.

Fortunately, most industrial companies start to understand, after the many convictions, that a small exposure to asbestos fibres, without adequate respiratory protection, is sufficient to cause a serious lung disease that causes ten times more deaths than accidents at work, even... [+]
Predicting the end of anything has become fashionable. The end of the human being, ideologies, community, authority, philosophy, or democracy. Are they labels full of sensationalism?
Maybe it was Francis Fukuyama who started that final fashion. After the collapse of the Berlin... [+]
On August 1, a dozen people from the family were in Aranguren. Two young people from Aranzadi made firsthand the excavations and works being carried out in Irulegi. This visit is highly recommended, as it reflects the dimension of the work they are doing.
Halfway, at the first... [+]

I've heard it said that the best tears are the ones that airports see. But I guess it was other tears he said, and not as I've seen during this vacation.
For several hours, tears dominated Munich airport, tears of indignation, tears of fatigue and also tears of helplessness. The... [+]
I have to go to the hairdresser,” I thought at the beginning of the course, and I didn’t go. I started with long hair and ended in the same way (halfway down the road I made a mohín and cut a piece of it. Nobody noticed. Neither do I.) It hides me if I lack the gesture and,... [+]
We Basques know that the State apparatus is prepared to take advantage of repressive forces of all colours and repressive mechanisms in all forms, in order to maintain social order within a system based on domination, even if to do so they have to infringe a law created to their... [+]
It happens many times to me: look at the news and get nervous. The France revient, they say. Both the France of Le Pen and the Spanish xenophobia and supremacy, as well as the inflatable clowns, rise again and again. Merde revient. As we have heard, a group of workers from... [+]
Until recently, the European Union (EU) was a calm sea. Everything was going well. We all lived quiet. The high-ranking officials were doing their job very well and the Europeans were happy under their orders. From time to time the peasants were going to the street to show their... [+]
Before the elections, it was a motto on everyone’s lips: "We have to put care in the center," he added. Apart from the curious and incorrect statements made by politicians and politicians, I must admit that for a while the subject was at its peak. Both parties and various... [+]
I have not followed the international competition for many years (Olympic Games, World Games…). Indifference, tiredness, pain… and I also get a little rage. And so the alternative I have left is not to see it.
