For active and passive scientists are warning us for many years that our lifestyle is unsustainable and even common sense tells us the folly of keeping a model of infinite growth, we took too long getting pulled, trapped in mortgages that bind us for life in a planned obsolescence to force us to use if or whether and finally mediated by a conditioned media in the service of consumption. We are in a global-wide economic crisis and the proposed is the official savage neoliberalism, to sell basic services of society, privatization and wait states. Yes, wait. Working more and charge less, give everything to trust markets! and the emergence of a miracle that will allow growth to continue ad infinitum. Sometimes I wonder how you can communicate with such millstones.
In June 2010, Gaspar Llamazares asked a question the government on the peak of world oil production and the scandal of the confidants of the International Energy Agency. The answer is anything but satisfactory, but it is more worrying if anything, his call for caution to avoid unnecessary public alarm. Since the government is therefore expected that the markets are not the people to decide their own future becoming aware of the contingencies that lie near future.
The so-called oil crash will cause a general collapse of our society, which largely is already happening. I think other people should be informed of what we face, because trust, even that of the sacred market does not produce energy, not oil brings out the land. The big corporations that are playing to the depletion of the population, before retiring with full pockets and leave us with our confidence markets faced collapse. The slogan "privatize profits and socialize losses" is nothing more than an adaptation of "Take the Money and Run" and a blatant swindle. I recommend downloading this presentation on oil crash, where Antonio Turiel, Ph.D. in theoretical physics at the UAM (1998) and a staff scientist at the Institut de Ciències del Mar CSIC, makes us an excellent description of the problem.
many qualities are needed in humans to cope with the collapse. I think one of the most important is to have a systemic vision that will help us to discern the direction you want to go and get along with the direction we can go.
In terms of economic growth we have only three options: Continue growing
: discarded. There is a growing number of countries that have exceeded their particular peak oil, including the United States, which peaked more than 30 years. But it has continued to grow other oil.
steady state (which we leave as we are): The peak-oil, the peak of other raw materials, environmental degradation, etc. to keep prevent the current pace of life.
Decrement: yes or yes. I think that decrease is not an option but an inevitable consequence, which we are immersed. But the policies being pose are not aimed at enabling the transition to the whole population but to the "salvation" of an elite: those most responsible for the tragedy.
In fact we can only choose from, with a margin increasingly scarce, as decrease. We could also have some room for maneuver in designing a stationary model that does not involve death thermodynamics of the planetary system, the collapse of human society and the tipping point of climate change.
should remember that we are living beings and as such, bear in mind that the wealth of this planet is just life, that uniqueness that allows self-organization of matter in living organisms as complex as man himself. transitional movements are underway but time is running out, and in this waiting sterile miss the opportunity to opt for a less traumatic change. Capitalism and its infinite growth are corpses that can only offer corruption.
