GLOBAL WARMING IS BECOMING OVERWHELMING – BETWEEN CLIMATE CRISES, ECONOMIC CRISES AND ENERGY CRISES –

Summary/Abstract: The COP 26 climate change conference in Glasgow ended with one major hope: it managed to keep alive the six-year-old goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Firm commitments are missing, and major powers such as the US, China, India and Australia rejected most of the pledges. The conference was postponed by a day, only for everyone to agree on the wording in the final agreement to “phase down coal production” to replace the wording “phase out coal”. Alongside the shocking vision of the Trump administration – global warming is not a US problem – even since the Glasgow meeting, the illusion has been maintained, supported by the highly industrialized countries, that global warming can be controlled through insignificant adjustments to the lifestyle of all the planet’s inhabitants, as well as through economic measures that further involve poor countries. Rich countries applaud any measure that punishes countries that own forests if they cut down trees, but they oppose any measures that would force them to respect the emissions targets they have committed to. The climate crisis is the result of excessive, irresponsible and insensitive exploitation of nature by man, and now nature is demanding its rights back. Humanity’s economic greed is beginning to be punished by nature, and the punishment comes through dramatic complications that accompany the numerous economic crises that humanity has to face. Economic crises and returns to certain stages of behavioral equilibrium usually require several years, but those related to specific natural events are becoming increasingly complex and repeated at shorter intervals of years. Strategies to address climate change that emphasize only the management of carbon dioxide emissions and not its absorption are considered immoral and unfair, especially by poor or developing countries, which have large areas of forests.
