Apel, „nova utopija“ ili Opća ekološka deklaracija

15.8.2008. // Labin.com // Objavljeno u kategoriji Znanost i tehnologija

Na osnovama najviših etičkih i moralnih načela, a koje su utkane u Ustav Republike Hrvatske /citiramo/:

Članak 69. Ustava RH

• Svatko ima pravo na zdrav život.
• Država osigurava uvjete za zdrav okoliš.
• Svatko je dužan, u sklopu svojih ovlasti i djelatnosti, osobitu skrb posvećivati zaštiti zdravlja ljudi, prirode i ljudskog okoliša.

 

 

te na tragu poruka crkvenog vrha[1] i drugih visoko osviještenih skupina i pojedinaca,

· da se globalno zagrijavanje Zemlje počelo ubrzavati više nego što se očekivalo i prijeti dramatičnim scenarijem,

· da su zbog drastičnih klimatskih promjena, poplave i oluje bile najčešće prirodne katastrofe[2]

· da je ljudska aktivnost odgovorna za najveći dio globalnog zagrijavanja u posljednjih 50 godina[3]

· da ekološki kapacitet Zemlje ne može podnijeti eksponencijalni porast pretilnih, bogatih i pohlepnih,

· da zbog toga našoj planeti prijeti vjerojatan ekološki kolaps i ekološki bankrot[4]

· da je naša Zemlja bolesna, jer su zatrovali bezdušni ljudi (i zato je neophodno vrijeme čišćenja[5]),

nedvosmisleno i jasno upozoravamo:

• da su nosioci moći i znanstvenici , više od svih drugih, odgovorni za ekocid[6];
• da glavni urednici većine medija odbijaju i pomisao da putem svojih medija prenose javnosti stavove nekih oporbenih političara koji se ne nalaze u močvari korupcije[7],
• da je istina o dramatičnosti klimatskih promjena dosad bila skrivana zbog interesa određenih kompanija[8],

te jednoglasno ocjenjujemo da taj probuđeni svijet[9], iako kronično pati od nedostatka političke volje[10], još uvijek nije izgubio razum i nadu.

Ujedno podržavamo i pridružujemo se porukama svih onih osviještenih građana i skupina, organiziranih i neorganiziranih, koji otvoreno ustaju i potpisuju svoje opravdane zahtjeve protiv sveopćeg uništenja okoliša, a time i daljnjeg uvjeta življenja, poput:

· vjerujem da je društvena svijest u Hrvatskoj dosegla razinu vrednota koje se već nalaze u našem Ustavu i kako je postalo neprihvatljivo da itko ostvaruje profit na račun tuđeg zdravlja i zloupotrebe prirodnih resursa. Neprihvatljivo je zarađivati na račun tuđeg zdravlja[11].

· ekolog sam, ali strah me ekološkog fašizma. Posrijedi je, prije svega, kolaps morala[12].

• našu planetu smo doveli na rub ekološkog kolapsa[13]
• I'm not a political person, but I do worry about climate change. I'm 15; my opinions, and those of many children of my age, are not counted. I believe that we have done a great wrong to this planet; it's time we tried to put it right.
• Why spend money on planning the next five years when we should be looking at the future of our planet?
• Where did the acid rain come from if not from the pollution?
• Dream of a society where decisions are guided by wisdom of a better future than short term current gains.
• The human race may be comprised of intelligent individuals but collectively we're blundering over a cliff with our eyes wide open.
• The best we can hope for is immediate and massive global economic collapse, because the longer we continue the way we are, the more painful the correction will be
• As long as there is money to be made, as long as there is the current system of short-term greed then efforts to combat climate change will fail.
• I believe that the whole term global warming is entirely wrong. In the past 50 years we have consumed over half of the natural resources of the earth.
• We release billions of tons of chemicals into the air every year and it keeps on growing, you would have to be either the most naive person alive or completely stupid to realise that we can't keep this up without doing damage! news.bbc.co.uk/
• Our relationship with our environment is about more than climate change.. We have misused and polluted the planet out of self interest. We are only beginning to take this seriously now that it is clear that our self interest is threatened by climate change. We will not begin to do enough to combat global warming until we deal with the root of the problem - ourselves and our self interest.
• We are eventually all going to destroy the planet because for the majority it's too much effort to change their ways. It's a sad fact, but true.
• Perhaps it's a matter of evolution - perhaps only with time and catastrophes will we realise that money cannot indeed be eaten. In 1,000 years it might be hard to tell that modern civilisation was ever here.
• Human pollution is the result of human habitation.
• It's absolutely ridiculous how quickly we are destroying our environment - and it's all because of our greed for money.
• The US is living in the moment: They are neglecting their responsibility to salvage the future of the Earth.
• The least the scientists could do is be honest and present all opinion rather than only those that fit their preconceived agenda.
• Unbridled materialism in an increasingly global culture of consumerism is producing a vicious cycle. Moreover, we need to look at how overpopulation on our planet contributes to global warming.
• Unfortunately the climatic conditions of the earth are far from our control as can be observed by dramatic swings in temperatures in our planet's history.
• It's so obvious the Western lifestyle, with its greed, materialism and wastefulness, is a major contributor to climate change and environmental pollution.
• As a species we are not doing enough to save the planet.
• I heard a human produces 48 kilos of carbon monoxide each day, while a car does only 20.[14]
