Welcome to 2000 and beyond !
Fortunately for all of us, the native RainForest is practically incombustible by cause of the almost permanent rain. However, world RainForest areas are shrinking by the combined pressure of the economic power of rich societies and the population needs of underdeveloped societies. The RainForest eliminates by the mechanism of photosynthesis, most of the gases emitted by combustion,daily produced at huge amounts in the industrial regions of the planet and the automobiles that crowd the cities. The RainForest regions are the ultimate and only protection available on Earth, able to dissipate the combustion emission excess of the motor driven industrial societies, so energy addicted. The RainForests are complex ecosystems that contain and host an invaluable resource: biodiversity, a key factor in earth biosphere, and ultimately in the sustainability of organized life in our planet.
May it be that the uprising information revolution now made possible via Internet ---allowing people to replace the travel supported on motor vehicles by a multi-destination virtual travel, and to change the use of huge amounts of paper by recycling electrons---, will change some of our obsolete habits just on time before the extinction of the RainForests.
It is essential to impregnate ourselves in the notion that life is the consequence of an energy strange to our planet, that is solar energy. All forms of energy known to us, both the renewable (wind, hydro, etc) as well as the non renewable (coal, oil, gas), are or have been the result of our Sun shining over our planet. With this energy available, life on earth evolved from "simple" to "complex systems," steadily creating a life web: the biosphere. Human species is a newcomer to this long process: it required the pre-existence of this biosphere which contained all living species that preceded human. In this sense, the Gaia Hypothesis, which considers our planet as a whole living system, may constitute a link for a common fundamental understanding of our place in Nature. From this perspective, the loss of RainForest ecosystems is to the biosphere, as the loss of the lungs, the liver and the kidneys to a mammal as ourselves. There is no price, no possible economic justification for such a stupid trade.
"All modern economies are dependent on fixed stocks of non-renewable material and energy resources. The Second Law of Thermodynamics makes clear that they necessarily consume and degrade the very resource base which sustains them. Our material economies treat other components of the biosphere as resources, and all the products of economic activity (that is the by-products of manufacturing and the final consumer goods) are eventually returned to the biosphere as waste. Thus, while we like to think of our economics as dynamic, productive systems, the Second Law states that in thermodynamic terms, all material economic 'production' is in fact 'consumption'. Any form of economic activity dependent on material resources therefore contributes to a constant increase in global net entropy (disorder), through the continuous dissipation of available energy and matter. It follows that contrary to the assumptions of neo-classical economic theory:
- There is no equilibrium in the energy and material relationships between industrial economics and the biosphere;
- Sustainable development based on prevailing patterns of resource use is not even theoretically conceivable.
The thermodynamic interpretation of the economic process therefore suggests a new definition of sustainable development which contrasts radically with present practice: sustainable development is development that minimizes resource use and the increase of global entropy. Carrying capacity can be defined as the maximum rate of resource consumption and waste discharge that can be sustained indefinitely without progressively impairing ecological productivity and integrity. Actually nearly 40% of terrestrial net primary productivity (photosynthesis) is already used or co-opted by human society, one species among millions, and the fraction is steadily increasing. Hence we are within one population doubling of the 'sunshine limit' to growth and at present rates will reach that limit in 35 years.
Clearly, any human activity dependent on the compsumptive use of ecological resources (forestry, fisheries, agriculture, waste disposal, urban sprawl onto agricultural land) cannot be sustained indefinitely if it uses not only the annual production of the biosphere (the 'interest') but also cuts into the standing stock (the 'capital'). Herein lies the essence of our environmental crisis." (William Rees)
The real challenge for humanity at this millennium transition is to imagine new ways of social life, taking advantage of existing technology and knowledge to optimize the quality of living instead of maximizing the quantity of material consumption. Human species is acting as a destructive parasite on the earth, literally sacking and cannibalising the limited earth biosphere's resources, driven to follow erroneous behaviours of economic and materialistic addiction that do not contribute anymore to the real welfare of the individuals, even less to the human society, not to mention our common life habitat: the biosphere. It becomes urgent to reimagine our knowledge and living practices as to link ourselves, in a coherent and solidarious way --to our job --to our family --to our nation --to our species --to our planet, in circular, holistic, caring, peaceful, and creative enriching evolution. It is really very simple: treat everything with love and wisdom, ... including yourself !!!
Not so simple, helas, is to achieve that a majority of humans have the chance and required freedom to think about these issues, reach consensus, and act united accordingly. There is to much stupidity accumulated and circulating in the television, in many newspapers, in most governmental organizations and in the headquarters of multinational corporations, that tend to reduce citizens to a role of simple consumers, maintain a status quo of the rules of the game "business as usual" and preserve the myth that GNP increase is sinonimous of progress and a sine qua non requirement to keep the economy healthy. But whose economy?
Just think about the persistence to conserve an inefficient transport system based on the individual car, which consumes and pollutes 15 or 20 times more than train transport; the design of "modern" automobiles that emit 5 times more NOx than 1950 models; the persistence to produce and sell disposable heavy cars of more than 1.5 liters for the use of 1 driver, 90% of the time running at average speed of 15 km/h in the urban conglomerates. But as Henry Ford said, "small cars make small profits".... The result of such technological advances is that in the last 50 years about 70% of all known petroleum resources have been burned: what nature created in 4 billion years, the ruling "economy" has been able to consume in 50 years! That is the real measure of the socio-economic system In-Efficiency.
Barry Commoner proposed to measure the environmental impact (I) as the result of multiplying three key factors: population (P), affluence (A), and technology (T), so that the environmental impact of any human society may be expressed as:
I = P x A x T
or in words,
total pollution = population x good per capita x pollution per unit good
A study of of United States statistics for the period after WW II indicates that for the period from 1950 to 1967 the population increased by 30 percent, the affluence (per capita consumption) increased by 5 percent. In the same period beer bottles manufactured increased by 593 percent as a result of the introduction of a throw away technology; in this same period pesticide use for crop production increased by 266 percent, phosphate emission from detergents replacing soap increased by 1,845, NOx from car emissions increased by 628 percent ... these disproportionate increments are only explainable understanding that, from the above mentioned three multiplying factors, the technology factor is the most influential in the resulting increment in environmental pollution, as neither the growth of the population nor the affluence factor, even combined, could account for more than 40 percent in the environmental impact increase for the same period. The clear conclusion is that the post-war technologies were developed with the main purpose to maximize economic profit and to concentrate the economic power in new technological monopolies, without much concern for the environmental costs or the over all global social costs. It is also clear, that the environmental impact cannot be attributed chiefly to the increasing world population; therefore, the environmental problems will not be solved by simplistic "zero population growth of the others." Such proposals tend to mask the reality of facts to protect specific economic interests and privileges. Remember that the environmental impact of an average inhabitant in USA is two times that of Sweeden, three times that of Italy, 13 times that of Brazil, 35 times that of India, 140 times that of Bangla Desh or Kenia, and 280 times that of Chad, Rwanda, Haiti or Nepal ... (Paul Ehrlich - The Population Explosion).
It is quite evident for any reasonable mind that these global techno-economic practices may not last forever, not even for the next generation. Trying to ignore this issue or to postpone the undertaking of available solutions, is an escapism without issue. There is no place to escape from our planet different to the cemeteries. Of course, we can not solve this problematic remaining as isolated individuals. It is quite evident that we can not expect that the ruling economic and political business groups will spontaneously decide to behave as humanitarian philanthropists. Therefore the only way is to react and enforce a universal public opinion movement to act as an earth quake capable to collapse the insensitivity and blindness of those that today are in command of the ruling economy and government. Those that benefit today of the world economic established order, must know that sooner or later will be held responsible of their acts: ignorance or mistake will be not an acceptable excuse, the blind profit seeking dogma, even less.
Before the 1973 energy crisis, that behaviour could be justified on ignorance of the limits of resources and of the boundless consumption growth consequences, or because of the cold war confrontation. Now, 25 years have passed since that time when the world community acquired a basic ecological conscience of the limits and consequences of our energetic models, and 7 years have passed after the collapse of the Soviet Union threat, but everything continues "as usual": governments and organizations as EPA, DOE, G7, OECD, UN, etc., are producing tons of reports and regulations aiming to reduce up to 10 or 20% the emissions, but total emissions continue to grow in proportion to the continued increase of energy consumption. No question to any serious restructuring of the prevailing technological and economic model: the free market and the globalization will provide the solutions! No doubt, the GNP must continue to grow, or there will be crisis. Some corporations, producing automobiles and trading petroleum during the last decades, should be exploding from their accumulated economic gain, and they intend to keep business until the last minute of the last day of the last year of petroleum availability, before reinvesting in the restructuring technological options: why loose money making investments that are not yet so profitable?.
However there are signs that the GUP (Gross Useful Product) is not growing in USA but declining since 1970: this means that in the average, common people of the first economic world power are getting really poorer at the expense of some few privileged groups, not to mention the fate of the rest of the world population. But if you look at the Fortune 500 and Global 500 listings, you may find who is wining the world monopoly game: in the first 10 places of the ranking are the prosperous car manufacturers and the oil companies, richer than ever. If you look in the Global 500 World Corporation listing you will find that they sell for 10,245,341 million dollars accounting for 52% of the total world GDP, employing 34,515,400 people accounting for only 0.6% of the total world population: the number of controlling stockholders and CEO's may be estimated at 1,000 to 5,000 individuals, assuming 2 to10 per corporation: they constitute the plutocracy ruling the world economic empire. Meet some of them in the Forbes 200 billionaires listing. If you list the first 100 world economies including countries and corporations, there appear only 49 countries; extending such list to 500 largest economies only 77 countries classify. If you look at the 500 Global corporation profits, you will find that they distributed aprox 32% of income between shareholders and left in average a ridiculous 3% profit available for tax payment ! This is an outstanding generosity gesture, if you consider that accountants could have easily reduced the 3% figure to 1% or to 0.1% if they wanted.
The world countries economic performance and maldistribution may be observed at our World GDP tabulation. To resume, just know that richest countries with 10% of the world population account for 60% of world GDP, 20% world rich population (WRP) account 84% of world GDP and 30% of WRP account for 90% of the world GDP, which means that the not rich 70% of the world population receives only 10% of the total world GDP. These figures provide some indication on the catastrophic magnitude of concentration and maldistribution of wealth in the world economy. As a matter of fact the calculated world income Maldistribution amounts to 185%, which corresponds to an economic performance Quality of 22.5%; therefore, overall quality of life could be 5 times better with the same amount of resources, should they be properly distributed (imagine the economies in security expenses, weapons manufacturing, global social conflicts, etc) . Such a gigantic gap in wealth distribution is shocking in terms of elemental intra-species solidarity principles. What is even worse, is that the process of wealth concentration and income maldistribution is constantly growing, as consequence of the actual world economic system. You dont have to be Nostradamus to understand that such a situation is explosive, therefore unsustainable.
Many things should be done and fast to start correcting the world economy and the world energetic technology. One measure that would combine the requirements of a sane ecology in a sane economy would be a world GDP taxation system to globally redistribute income between countries and a CO2 emissions tax to penalize non renewable fossil fuel consumption and stimulate the transition to a sustainable Solar Energy economy. Regarding the GDP tax, this would produce good effects reducing the level of overconsumption in the richer countries, the same as the reduction of overfeeding is a good therapy for people suffering from obesity. A reasonable GDP tax of say 12% average payable by the 20% richest population countries would represent a 100% average income increase for the poorest 70% world population. A similar world redistribution tax on multinational corporations business income would improve further the world economy providing the required funding to help the employment casualties produced by the international corporations business rearrangements. Would not such magnificent gestures be dignifying our extraviated human condition? After all, the planet and its resources are not a private property of any country and less of any corporation: it is the common habitat legacy for all the living species, human population included.
Of course, politicians elected with the help and dollars of local and multinational mafias and corporations, have interest to maintain their privileges to make last the game, and justify the status quo policies protecting some corporations interests, hiding the reality from people for as long as possible. Who will profit in the short run ? who cares for mankind? may that last? who will profit in the long run?
Just for fun, go to our link on stupidity and try to rank your favorite corporations, political parties, or government agencies, to see how they classify in the basic categories (Intelligent, Hapless, Bandit, Stupid). You will reach your own conclusions.
If there is to be a worthwhile future for human species, it should be based more on the intelligent and efficient use of information and culture, than in the inefficient and egoistic use of matter, money and energy. Lets wake up, open our imagination, use our brain, find a real meaning to our life, create a huge information movement to unmask the "invisible hand" behind the ruling economic system, and liberate from the actual pseudo-democracy (one dollar, one vote). And remember Murphy: left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse !
