Climate change, global change or crisis in civilization

To say that we are facing a change in the terrestrial climate unprecedented in human history, that the oceans, the air and the soils are warming favor the evaporation of water, the acceleration of winds and agricultural infertility, is just the beginning of the conversation. To affirm that this climatic change is affecting all the structure of human habitability destroying agriculture, oceanic and continental fishing, supply of hydropower, urban development with destruction of houses, canals, aqueducts, carrteras, bridges and others, means to say that we are facing a global multiscale change.

Observe that the human population is not responding with due urgency for these situations and that the most powerful groups such as national governments and multinational companies are preparing competitive war strategies with a dubious future in mind, such as the anti-migration fight, building walls, local war for energy, water and mineral resources.

Especially the federal government of Brazil and its support groups in the evangelical churches, arms industry and predatory capitalist agriculture that are prepared for the final assault on the Amazon rainforest and its indigenous populations, quilombolas and riberinhas.

This observation leads us to think that we are facing a crisis of Western civilization at all levels and scales. The question is how to respond to this crisis, unfortunately the answer is not easy. It is called Ethics to return to ethics with nature, society, politics, the economy and with our culture of rural, peasant and indigenous origin.

Responding to this ethical call is undoubtedly the first step for all other responses of ecological restoration, economic, social, political and cultural reform that are necessary to solve the problem of how to eliminate trillions of tons of carbon, ammonium, nitrogen and other gases Greenhouse of the oceans, soils and atmosphere.

It is also essential to prevent what remains of the vegetation cover of the planet, Amazonia, Central Africa and Indonesia, be destroyed in this final start of the greed of the world capitalist system that they apply to risca that slogan that what matters is not the long term but the results of the next quarter of the companies.
