The ecological challenge is making me increasingly violent and complex as it advances in the climate emergency. And the thesis of Fin du monde et petits fours has not brought me peace: Les ultra-riches face à la crise climatique (“The end of the world and the petits fours: the ultraricos at the height of the climate crisis”), which states that the ultraricos are with a strategy to channel the climate issue. On the contrary, complexity has made me even more complex and violence has become more violent. Let us take two political changes in recent days. On the one hand, the decision of the French Government to undo the IRSN structure as a guarantor of nuclear safety, in parallel with the decision to build more nuclear reactors and extend the survival of the 56 existing reactors. They say that nuclear development is a condition for achieving carbon neutrality; they consider it a green energy that is committed to ecological transition. The other, as the case may be, is the European Commission’s intention to extend the designation of “green hydrogen” to products based on fossil fuels: oil, carbon and gas. Basically, last year also decided to classify nuclear into green energies. The changes introduced for ecological transition and facial cleanliness are the changes that have been done well for bottomed air conditioning.
This theft of notions and objectives damages the ecological challenge: "Green Energy", "ecological transition", "climate struggle" -- the keywords take over them to change little. It makes it difficult for ecologists to exercise, especially if the citizen is informed of the social networks that are in the hands of the wealthiest in the world and of the mainstream media financed in the way of stock market shares, which will not be nuanced.
But also the movement that denounces the theft of these notions and reminds us of the fundamental essence of these terms is flourishing. There's the new Euskal Herria Bizirik platform. "We call for a policy that truly protects nature and protects our habitat, without adding to investors' hunger." You also have to concretize the word "real" -- but that's where we are, because we hear everywhere the desire "for climate." What happens is that there are two opposite logics under the same dictionary: one of those processed by the hunger for money and another of the defenses of rabies.
The understanding and interpretation of the mathematical language is what is important in the learning process, at least it is what we say to our students. The language of mathematics is universal, and in general, the margin of error for interpretation tends to be small. We... [+]
Recently, when asked what the climate emergency consisted of, a scientist gave the excellent answer: “Look, the climate emergency is this, you increasingly see on your mobile more videos related to extreme weather events, and when you realize, it’s you who are recording one... [+]
In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]
