Congresso di Cancun: le conseguenze dell’accordo

Anche se i colloqui sul clima di Cancun sono sembrati in una situazione di stallo che si è protratta per la quasi totalità delle due settimane che è durata la conferenza, nell’ultima notte è stato finalmente raggiunto un nuovo accordo sul cambiamento climatico. Secondo Greenpeace però tale accordo è servito solo a salvare i colloqui delle Nazioni Unite, ma non per salvare il clima.

In base al testo, che non è ancora legalmente vincolante, i tagli drastici alle emissioni di carbonio dovrebbero mantenere l’aumento della temperatura globale sotto i 2° C, e si richiede che eventuali rafforzamenti possano portare tale obiettivo ad 1,5° C. Tuttavia l’importo totale delle riduzioni di emissioni attualmente stabilite sono insufficienti per soddisfare tale obiettivo, con circa il 15% delle riduzioni previste, rispetto ai livelli del 1990 entro il 2020, quando il 40% o più sarebbe necessario. Gli impegni attuali ci porteranno ad un incremento delle temperature di circa 3-4° C, a metà strada di quello che Bill McKibben ha descritto come un futuro “impossibile e miserabile”.

L’unico aspetto positivo dell’accordo è che sembra che i “grandi della Terra” abbiano superato l’impasse ideologico, specialmente della Cina e dell’India, le nazioni che emettono più carbonio e pertanto devono avere obiettivi di riduzione delle emissioni come tutti gli altri, e non trattamenti di favore come accadde con il Protocollo di Kyoto.

Molto importante è stata la conferma del Fondo da 30 miliardi di dollari istituito da 24 nazioni sviluppate e in via di sviluppo, da destinare ai Paesi poveri per aiutarli nella mitigazione e nell’adattamento ai cambiamenti climatici. Inoltre, l’accordo supporta maggiori sforzi per ridurre la deforestazione, pur riconoscendo che i diritti dei popoli indigeni hanno bisogno di essere protetti.

In fin dei conti, rispetto al disastro dello scorso anno, un enorme passo in avanti c’è stato, e i colloqui dell’ONU restano l’unico strumento efficace per intraprendere quel tipo di azione politica collettiva a livello globale necessaria per evitare cambiamenti climatici catastrofici. Bisognerebbe che tutti la pensassero come il presidente messicano Felipe Calderon, uno di quelli che stanno mettendo in luce i progressi sul clima, il quale ha dichiarato, in chiusura dei colloqui:

A volte penso che a questo proposito non riusciamo a capire che siamo tutti passeggeri della stessa nave, dello stesso aereo, o dello stesso veicolo. I nostri aerei non hanno più il pilota. È successo qualcosa in cabina. Tutti i passeggeri sono responsabili dell’aeromobile, e stiamo litigando se la colpa è di quelli in classe turistica o di quelli seduti davanti in prima classe, mentre l’aereo continua a precipitare […] Credo, amici, che qualcuno debba prendere il controllo del velivolo.

Peccato che non tutti la pensino così.

  9. You can definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you write. The world hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who aren’t afraid to say how they believe. Always follow your heart. “The most profound joy has more of gravity than of gaiety in it.” by Michel de Montaigne.

  10. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  11. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
