WORLD WORLDWIDE ITALY News Journal Update - (en) Italy, Alternativa Libertaria ottobre 2023: But who really went crazy? (AL/FdCA Fight and Territory Commission) (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 

"Climate gone crazy": this was the real catchphrase of summer 2023, far

superior to those masterpieces of human creativity that usually
mercilessly martyr our ears during the summer season. ---- And in fact,
how can we not talk about the climate going crazy after a summer in
which we unfortunately saw a notable number of extreme climatic events.
A summer, according to the Copernicus C3S (1), characterized by a
record-breaking July in terms of temperatures at a global level, so much
so that it pushed UN Secretary Guterres to declare that the planet is
now "in the era of 'boiling".
Yet we believe this talk of "climate gone crazy" does not correctly
describe this phenomenon we are experiencing. The verb "to go crazy",
according to the Treccani dictionary available online,
means "to become mad, to lose the use of reason"; then there is a
figurative meaning, associated instead with tools, mechanisms, devices,
and in this sense it means "suddenly and unexpectedly starting to
function in a very irregular way".
Therefore, according to the mass media narrative, the climate has gone
mad in the sense that, suddenly and unexpectedly, it has started to
function irregularly: an unforeseen event, in front of which we can only
imagine an adequate emergency response, at most implementing adaptation
policies to this crazy climate that doesn't want to behave as it should.
Then it happens that in "The Harvard Gazette", where the
latest news regarding Harvard University, we come across the news that a
research led by the note
university shows that the multinational
American Exxon (ESSO brand in
Europe) "has modeled and predicted the
global warming with shocking
skill and accuracy starting from
'70s" (5).
According to this group of researchers,
which also involves the Institute of
Potsdam for research into the impact of
climate change, between 1977 and
2003 Exxon conducted research
aimed at defining the impact of CO2 emissions on global warming,
leading to the production of forecasting models of considerable
precision, such as
identify a trend of increase in
global temperature that would already be
been proven by facts: 0.2 °C per
decays, with a margin of error of 0.04
°C.
Another interesting element that
emerges from the article in "The Harvard
Gazette" is the research group of
Exxon, excluding that heating
global was to be attributed to a new one
ice age, he indicated at the same time
the year 2000, with a margin of error
of 5 years, as the beginning of the first effects
of anthropogenic global warming.
According to what the aforementioned tells us
   research for several decades would have been
It is possible to predict an increase in temperatures
global: we can therefore still talk about "climate
gone mad"?
Evidently dealing with complexes
problems of today's reality such as
something that comes crashing down on us
unexpected and sudden way, on which
we have no control whatsoever
not in somehow managing a
after the effects, is the figure of the
today's politics. Problem management
in the eternal emergency perspective it offers
a convenient excuse to avoid one
serious analysis of the causes; even because
often from a detailed analysis of the
problems emerge requiring solutions
radical and systemic actions that do not
they marry with the maintenance of the status quo, so dear to those who
hold political and economic power, as well as the privileges that derive
from this power.
So let's keep talking about
"heat emergency", "drought emergency"
and "rain emergency", so
as it has been going on for more than 20 years now
to talk about the "immigration emergency".
We wait for our darling
politician resolves the issue as al
usual, proposing simple solutions to
extremely complex, epochal problems; In the
Meanwhile great discussions on all
jobs and social issues on the case
of the "inflated" bar receipts for the
cutting the sandwich or for using
more milk for a non-foamed cappuccino!
We do not accept this narrative,
the climate hasn't gone crazy, the emergencies
they cannot last for decades: it is there
an economic and political system, this
yes lucidly crazy, which continues the
its crazy race towards infinite growth,
dotted with territorial robbery policies
and profit extraction costs that
what it costs, not caring about the impacts
this may have on the environment and living beings.

An economic model that yields privileges
unimaginable for a handful of
people, handing out crumbs or not at all
those to almost the entire population
terrestrial; all this while the worst effects

of global warming
they specifically affect the populations of
most plundered territories
their resources.
The challenge to global warming is not
it can only move from the struggle to a system
of production and distribution of wealth
profoundly unfair: just that
offers the guarantee that this challenge will not arise
reduce to a technological renewal
of the capitalist infrastructure and to one
mere opening of new markets.
