È morto l'accordo di Copenhagen. Entro il 31 gennaio i Paesi partecipanti avrebbero dovuto comunicare i propri impegni di riduzione dei gas serra. In realtà hanno sostanzialmente mantenuto gli stessi resi noti before the summit, which brings us to a temperature increase estimated at +3 / 3.5 ° C "Third Degree" illustrates the consequences of this global suicide.
Communication ambitious commitments by January 31, was to be the first "action point" of a non-binding agreement drawn up by some countries, and adopted by many others, during the climate summit in Copenhagen last December. It proved, however, a joke to make time. Only a cynical public relations exercise for the proposed recycling old, useless and dangerous.
If the big polluters of the environment have failed to propose anything new on emissions, how can we really believe that by 2012 new funds are pledged to support developing countries in mitigating the effects of climate change?!
The Copenhagen proved to be a dangerous "green-washing" to pass off as hackneyed repetition of the effective action objectives that in fact lead to a reduction in emissions for industrialized countries only 11-19% (6 - 14% non-forest credits). To achieve the target of 2 ° C increase in maximum reductions of greenhouse gas emissions (compared to 1990) to be 40% by 2020.
Even in developing countries must reduce emissions by 15-30% compared to the current trend, again in 2020. A process that must be supported by new investment, for a total estimated at 140 billion dollars a year, enabling these countries to switch to cleaner technologies and better withstand the climate disaster.
According to available scientific information - upon which our report, "The Third Degree" - these are some of the predictions on the effects of climate change:
+ 3 ° C - there could be a 20% increase in mortality related warm in some EU countries where there is an increase from six to eight times the number of hot days;
- negative impacts on agricultural production could lead to the hunger of 550 million people, with up to 1.3 billion people in a state of malnutrition - one might verificare lo scioglimento quasi totale delle calotte in Groenlandia e nell'Antartide occidentale, oltre al superamento di molti altri "punti di non ritorno".
