UPDATED - #Climate change: global security!

The tragedies in Haiti and Pakistan, confirm that the consequences of climate change are issues of global security.

Another earthquake of magnitude that occurred in Haiti, or another flood like those occurring in China and Pakistan, will affect the world's economies so catastrophic.

The globalized world economies are interconnected, depending on one another.

The UN, governments and banks, and other international agencies, are limited in their ability to meet, help many tragedies at once.

The preservation of the environment, global warming, climate change, greenhouse effect, melting of glaciers, the movement of tectonic plates, earthquakes more frequent and of greater magnitude, solar explosions and their consequences in the modern media, and social security are priorities in today's world.

Environment is a matter of global security, affecting rich and poor, socialists, communists, capitalists, Christians, Muslims, worlds large and small.

Earthquakes, hurricanes, storms, rains, mudslides, floods, rising sea levels, are the disasters that knock down the houses of the poor, but also annihilate the world economy and end with the regional economy, with governments, infrastructure, cause social disorders, urban chaos, and behind the disasters occur as epidemics and other health and safety in general.

The poor die first, but the rich pay the bills, funerals, food and subsequent reconstruction, in a domino effect, affecting everyone in the final bill.

Not to mention the issue of shelter for refugees and the spread of disease, which affects all survivors of the environmental tragedy.

Without a safe environment and preserve the crops of grain and other foods are destroyed, roads and bridges are washed away.

No plans to preserve the environment, the safety of our big cities of the world are compromised.

Environmental disasters, major, that are already occurring, for example, the heat on Russia, and the destruction of lives and property in Pakistan, threatening the safety of nuclear weapons, plantations, affecting all economies in the world because other countries providing humanitarian aid, the UN is obliged to intervene, international trade is hampered, tourism, industries, and with consequences affecting the entire planet Earth ..

Floods in Pakistan are completely destroying the economy, not to mention the health problems, health, infrastructure, catastrophic losses for businesses and the state, which will take decades to be recovered in a region already impoverished and deprived.

The destruction of Haiti is another example.

Hurricane Katrina caused massive destruction in the U.S., even for a rich economy, the losses are immense.

Environment is at least as dangerous as nuclear war or the collapse of a massive meteor.

Everyone agrees on the need and importance of the environment, natural resources and depleted in 50 years, drastically affecting the future of civilized humanity.

Soon, very soon, within a maximum of 50 years, we will be without water and clean rivers, no oceans and their biodiversity, with no safe areas for buildings, and modern technology of no avail in the face of such crucial issues .

The rulers of all countries, companies organized, public agencies, institutions, organizations, schools, universities, churches, the whole society, everything we need to warn about the urgency of caring for the environment, our home, which is the planet earth.

The human species has survived and evolved for thousands of years, no TVs, no cars, no telephone, no internet, no refrigerators, or any other electronic device, but would not survive a week:

- No drinking water ...

- No food ...

- No security ...

- No sanitary control ...

- Without power ...

- No breathable oxygen ...

- No trees ...

In the globalized world, we are citizens of Planet Earth, and tragedies bring dramatic economic consequences for all ...

Climate change and environmental tragedies, are undoubtedly matters of "global security".
