AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

With Climate Change, all of humanity faces an extremely serious danger, which even threatens its very existence.

Many scientists and experts from all latitudes have written and spoken on the subject, and it has been the central object of important global events held for its study. That is to say, this problem and the way to deal with it successfully are very well known.

However, little progress has been made in this regard. The decisions taken in numerous international forums and congresses have been very lukewarm, and many of them have not been carried out by the nations committed to doing so.


It has remained, as the environmental youth leader Greta Thunberg very well expressed, when, at the end of the much-vaunted meeting called in 2022 by the United Nations to discuss the issue of Climate Change in the city of Glasgow, Scotland, she concluded that it had been just "words, words, words."

Aware that, given the extreme severity of what is coming, which combines, in addition to changes in the climate, the extremely probable repetition of the same or worse pandemics such as COVID 19, human beings cannot continue in this attitude unconscious of proposing "hot towels" for such serious problems.


Unfortunately, the current war conflicts has been taken advantage of by those motivated by powerful political and economic interests, to slow down effective actions against climate change, such as the decision of the European Union to consider gas as a "less polluting" fuel, denying all of his previous speech, or that of increasing the exploitation of coal mines, or, the most serious of all, that of significantly increasing the production of the arms industry, the most polluting on the planet, a consequence of the materials it uses.

An attempt has been made to destroy in a short time all the little that had been effectively advanced in the fight to save life on our planet.

That is why our Association is committed to collaborating with those who seek to reverse this situation, helping to design a roadmap that proposes prompt and effective actions that go beyond words.
