nos avisan por nuestro bien
a la vez que nos lo cuentan claro clarinete
Fifty years ago, the Club of Rome published a wake-up call that visualised the finite nature of natural resources for governments and the private sector. What has the report achieved? Climate economist Ottmar Edenhofer takes stock.<br />

Q> Mr Edenhofer, 50 years ago the Club of Rome published its frightening forecast on the “Limits to Growth”. The report made huge waves, but did it ultimately make a difference?
> The report has had a great impact. In the 1970s,
it ensured that everyone began talking about the issue of resource scarcity. And it was the first to ask whether the economy needed to be restructured accordingly. Economists rightly criticised the Club of Rome harshly at the time, however, because the model simulations completely ignored the effect of prices. Rising prices leads to the more economical use of resources. This is exactly what has happened.
Q> But clearly not enough. The warnings of the earth’s eminent collapse have not really changed much to date. We are still talking about the climate crisis, the loss of biodiversity, and the efficient use of available resources. Was the alarm call in vain?
> It is not true that we are facing the same problems today. At the time, the Club of Rome emphasised that fossil fuels and exhaustible resources were becoming scarce. Given the atmosphere’s capacity to absorb CO2,
we simply have too much coal, oil and natural gas. The Club of Rome did not really focus on the climate crisis and the loss of biodiversity. Even today, this is not foremost in everyone’s minds, and promoting renewable energies alone will not solve the problem.
We need to leave most fossil fuel resources and reserves in the ground. Unfortunately, the world continues to rely on coal, so the price of fossil fuels has obviously not gone high enough.
you need the first step to the tras*formation process
and I think that's very important in the next 10 years
fake el bichito + fake Ukraine War
priority number one: we will start to decarbonize our power sector
priority number two: we need an "effective" carbon price
fake PEAK OIL + CO2 tax + CO2 credit
the transformation is so deep and the speed is so high
that we need new tras*formative instruments
the real deal: GREEN PASS / CBDC / UBI
Para saber más sobre esta revolución, podéis leer este artículo del 2016. Son todo cosas chulísimas.
copypasteo sólo dos frases del último párrafo (conclusiones):
The Fourth Industrial Revolution may indeed “robotize” humanity and thus to deprive us of our heart and soul. But it can also lift humanity into a new collective and jovenlandesal consciousness based on a shared sense of destiny.
We should ask people to step up, but we shouldn’t ask too much of them.
Revolution is a spectators sport. The majority will sit in the stands and watch the factions fight. At the end they will choose side with the team that is winning.
