Interview with Alan Smith of Gold International, gold mine company operating in Amazonia

Interviewer: Mr. Smith, As the President of one of the largest transnational gold mine operating in the Amazonia, we are interested in knowing your argument, and we ask the universe for the strength to understand, so we can comprehend how your company justify the mining holocaust that is being cause to the green lung of the planet. Having said that, here is my question: Have your company ever tabulated the human cost and other species that die during the extraction process of every gram of gold in the Amazonia?

The Earth is alive

The English scientist James Lovelock holds the hypothesis that the Earth, our planet, is a living being. So far others have failed to prove the contrary. According to this researcher there is evidence that demonstrates that the entire biosphere of the plant earth, until the last being that inhabits it can be considered to be a single global organism one in which all of its parts are related yet are sometimes so independent, like the cells of our body. This theory was called by Lovelock the hypothesis of Gaia (in honor of the ancient goddess of the earth).

Latin American environmentalist beyond ideologies

By Lenin Cardozo*

Latin America has been very unfortunate copying the political European models. In short, everything that we are copying goes wrong, prone to bad. We were happy, before the arrival of men on horseback to the mainland. We came from venerate the nature to be monarchists. Then, at times be republicans, capitalist, nationalist, christian socialists, social democrats, socialists pure communist utopian or classic imperialist, anti-imperialist or pro-someone, because something we have to be, due to we find very hard to be ourselves.

Latin America: Energy of life vs. death energy

The serious contingency suffered by Japan as a result of the earthquake and tsunami and provoked a chaos at Fukushima nuclear power plant, located 373 kilometers northeast of Tokyo, revived the worldwide reflection on the safe in the use of such energy. Powers like the U.S. and France have come in their defence, mainly because these two countries have almost the exclusive sellers in this kind of nuclear technologies. Its main spokesmen have minimized the accident in Japan and evaluate it as an isolated event without any major mishaps.

Opportunities of geothermal energy in Latin America and the Caribbean

Latin America and the Caribbean are integrated in the decarbonised energy transition with the development of wind energy, photovoltaic, solar thermal, geothermal energy and the acceptance of electric cars with lithium batteries.

No more dawned

Today no day dawned, as you have not dawn for anyone. In 2010, parts per million of CO2, scientists say were at 395, ie 45 higher maximum accepted to ensure our survival as a species. The scientists claimed that the safe limit for humanity was 350 parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere. The United Nations for the same year tried to limit the level of CO2 at 450 parts per million (ppm), but their efforts were not heard. All of this because the burning of so much fossil fuel, since carbon dioxide was one of the main gases produced greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing global warming, which accelerated the melting of glaciers, increased droughts continents, consuming forests, extinct species and ecosystems.

In 2030, hard currency will be a liter of water of western and Chinese rice bowl

Everything indicates that in 20 years, barter is one of the strongest economic systems, especially in the sharing of food and drinking water. Hence, the dollar and the euro will stop being the most prized in the West to be displaced per liter of drinking water, as well, the rice bowl of 700 grams, which displace the Japanese yen and Chinese Yuan, as Asia’s leading currencies.

Volunteers to live on Mars, no return trip

The meaning of all environmental, ecological and conservation is to defend life every heartbeat. Life is a privilege, but also a mission means that nature. Each species has a rationale or a role to play, a job to do. The gift of life that has a kind, not to be exterminates another. Planetary conditions were set for all live in perfect balance. Balance that humans are broke and now is the eve of losing paradise. The Eden was of Adam and Eve. The human race to survive now needs a plan B. The arks XXI century must be lifted to reach the new land.

Forecast the Great War for water

It seems that the conflict with Iran over its nuclear energy management will be the trigger for the next war in this second decade of the century.The format is the same as that of Iraq. Things are not clear, it is better to intervene. In this “activity” will be called 65 million Iranians who live in that territory and a few more of their natural allies vs. the occupation army. The Persians again, do what most have known how to millennia.

FUTURAMA … 50 years later

Finally the Japanese ate all the dolphins to make their sushi and along the Norwegian and Icelandic whale ended. Canadians, have lost to seals and polar bears. In India the Bengal tiger disappeared, like the Asiatic wild dog, the Sarus crane, the turtle bastard and the Asian elephant. In Kenya, he was not any wild animal, and was followed by other African countries. The Chinese ate all Siberian tigers, monkeys, dogs, snakes, worms and insects in the Asia and not in keeping with those, went to war with Africa, its termites and grasshoppers. The UN has stepped in and agreed to share. The Portuguese and British timber companies destroyed all the forests of the Amazon. The last tree was cut in a ceremony where he attended among others the president of Brazil.

Latin America: Sustainable Development and Responsible Growth?.

Latin America has a continental and subcontinental reality, quite different from the rest of the continent or subcontinent in the world. The essential difference is basically in the optics or perspective how is viewing the world, indigenous or regional interests, the fresh pot of races and ethnic groups living in them. In Latin America, we have one of the largest vegetable lungs, jungles and forests of the world as the largest amount of land that have not yet been exploited and large resources provided. That’s why our environmental concerns are specific, and the solutions must be inclusive, a protection of all species that live and we live in this part of the planet. However, we live the urgency to address the uncontrolled progress of deforestation in the Amazon, human interventions that accelerate the droughts of our lakes and rivers, large islands in the land of waste in solid , air pollution from the dense carbon dioxide chokes our cities, among others. These environmental specifications, has forced us to rethink very specific strategies to address it.

Interview with Jacques Cousteau

Interviewer: Jacques, now that’d be serving 101 years of your birth, in a world that today it is needed a inspiring of feats as yours, you became the great environmentalist of the twentieth century, the greatest scientist of the deep of the oceans, the protector of whales and octopuses, the prolific writer of marine life, with more than 50 books published which inspired entire generations to study and research the sea flora and fauna, the center of the world attention in Rio summit due to your dogged environment defendant. The French of all French, equal to or more popular than Napoleon Bonaparte. A simple man, a humble and great father. The all time Captain Planet. As you really define it?

It takes poor, while poor better

Imagine, a country or a city or a country without poor. More than a dream for politicians would be a real nightmare. Poverty, it suits everyone. To is all those who need it as a means of staying in politics or muscle mass to make wealth. Poverty is good for the imperialist, anti imperialist, anti pitiyanquis or yankees. And if extreme poverty are much better. The gains are more extreme.
Poverty is docile, malleable, manipulability, sensitive, emotional, comfortable, naive and very good, to be carried by terrestrial and extra terrestrial hopes.

2011: The year of the environmental

Even though 2010 was the climax, the record year of the last decade in regard to natural disasters, and alerts us on future contingencies that will have to overcome or defend, to the responses given the nature so wrong it has received from the human race. It was also the year that has tended more active United Nations (UN), in environmental matters; three global conferences and summit, all on Climate Change. These natural contingencies such organizational efforts, we pave the way to say without any kind of mistakes, that 2011 is shaping up as the year of environmentalists, ecologists and conservationists.

In 2010 the nature loses the first decade of XXI century

Lenin  Cardozo

If we observe the balance of the millennium first 10 years, its become evident the multiple efforts and agreements statements has been made by the UN about environmental issue and a little or no further action from the same countries invited to stop the vicious assault and violations of their nature actually. We summarize below the most notorious events of this lost decade.

Nostradamus 2011 Environmental Prediction

Lenin Cardozo

The beginning of “silent decade”

China and the U.S., leaders in the world for its ability to pollute the planet, will make a bilateral agreement, not to play over the environmental issue during a decade. To do so, they will create an agreement with its communication networks to not broadcast the “thorny” issue. Set to launch the antivirus Wikilears to avoid any leakage during the “silent decade.” Indeed, the creator of Wikilears, it will be discovered, that their family ties to Bin Laden and an heroic command action will be kidnapped and taken away to Guantanamo, and maintain him there for the rest of his life. Also, The European Community not to want to have anything to do with the theme. “Nobody is going to get with the dollars and yuan owners”. Summit on Climate Change COP17 in South Africa, will be remembered as the Summit of the Secretariants, because there will be attend only for the Ministries of Environment Secretaries of the respective countries; their bosses will report that they are too busy to be there.
