Climate and geological changes, "Alea Jacta est!"

Alea Jacta Est"Alea jacta est" it is a Latin phrase, uttered by Julius Caesar, said to make the decision with his legions to cross the Rubicon River, demarcating the boundary between Cisalpine Gaul (Gaul this side of the Alps which now corresponds toNorthern Territory of Italy) and the territory of Italy.

Roman law was not allowed to join the legions in Italy due to previous episodes in which Roman generals such as Marius and Sulla had used their armies to seize power in Rome.

Because of these precedents was forbidden to a provincial governor, a Proconsul as Cesar, with his legions across the border with the Italian territory.The Rubicon River is demarcated border between Gaul and ruled by Caesar, and Italy, and to cross it Cesar declared an open conflict with the Roman Senate and Pompey, which stood for political reasons his defender.

Enjoy Christmas and 2010, which is coming up, perhaps the last to be able to say "Merry Christmas!" Because there are strong indications that the year 2011 will be unprecedented environmental disaster in known history of modern mankind.

For a variety of reasons ranging from ignorance to political ideology, the powerful economic interests, egoism, individualism, personal and collective, vandalism and inertia on the part of a large number of deniers of climate change and geological.

The leaders of major nations, public opinion, media, and the world waited too long to act.

The meeting of the UN, COP16, and lush scenery in paradise in Cancun, shows signs of failure, if there was a serious intent and pragmatic preparation for effective measures, the meeting had been held in Haiti, a victim of a deadly earthquake, plagued by disease cholera, or would have been held in Pakistan, is afflicted by a catastrophic flood and having the disease of malaria as a result.

We are now committed to irreversible long-term consequences, and inevitably damage ranging from sea level up quickly, heat stress and much higher losses, disappearing glaciers and snow, floods and droughts, and much, much more.For over two decades, only a small group of people mobilized, spoke, wrote and stormed against the general indifference in relation to climatic and geological changes.

The vast majority who took the responsibility to warn of the consequences of climate change and geological was not even with good intentions, though, even in bad faith, ended up helping in some way.

The truly scientific evidence is indisputable, irrefutable, unquestionable, and so recently, religious and business lobbyists are fighting desperately to avoid a worldwide movement, first by appealing to the Bible and the second arguments for progressive and desenvolmentistas.

All the international scientific community agrees that human action may be accelerating the process of global warming, with unforeseeable consequences for humanity and irresistible.

Every scientist specializing in atmospheric, climatological, meteorological, geological, hydrological, ecological, physical, chemical and biological sciences, all support the scientific findings of climate change and geological changes, accelerated by man.

The summit in Cancun, has no power to determine, are purely advisory and opinionated, agreements, even those signed are never satisfied, and will not result in any effective action to prevent or even simple to prepare for the environmental disasters that approach:

Melting glaciers - glaciers will continue in the accelerated process of melting, further warming the Earth, with the parts discovered by the absence of ice, and the direct incidence of sunlight on water.

Oxidation of the Oceans, which is already beyond the tolerable limit, endangering the existence of marine life in the oceans.

The rising of the oceans will compromise the lives of millions of human beings who live in coastal areas, beyond the destruction of the entire world economy that relies on tourism, fishing, hospitality, construction, civil, and other related activities.

The Movement of tectonic plates is suffering intense pressure driving, since the crust is heated, the movement of the oceans rising, are all mechanisms that alter the natural geological standards.

There are clear indications that the activities of the Volcanoes are accelerated as a result of major tectonic movement in a game of domino effect, when a piece drops another in unending sequence, until the last part.

Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tsunamis are simply pieces of domino game, when you drop one, the proximity in which they are, knocking the other one will. The intense tectonic movement is evidenced in recent months and is directly related to volcanic activity, earthquakes and volcanoes, a chain reaction of cause and effect.

Forest destruction is completely unrecoverable, only very nature, a process for thousands of years, could rebuild entire ecosystems and biodiversity that man has destroyed a crazed predatory and self-defeating process.

The warming of Lagos is another consequence sunk in a timely manner.The overflowing rivers, the flooding of urban areas, the destruction of homes, destruction of bridges, roads will be a constant daily, considering the worsening of the climate change process and geological already in an advanced course of evolution.

The release of methane gas trapped beneath the layers before the ice melted now, is another global time bomb, that there'll be nobody with the capacity to disarm it and prevent a global catastrophe with unknown to modern man.

The intense cold in some regions and heat waves in other regions are already happening at an alarming rate and degree.

Heavy rains causing landslides urban and rural areas, destroying lives and economies are already part of the daily news of the international media, but only with the economy and irretrievable loss of human lives.

Forest fires, lack of food, lack of clean water, disease, social disruption, will from today, will be mere consequences of climate change and geological features, not considered with the seriousness required, and the lack of actionurgent.

Do not question our admiration and astonishment nor ignorance of climatic and geological changes, because mankind has always acted with recklessness and lightly harrowing face of issues that plague our existence.

We never knew dealing with the distribution of natural resources, wars, hunger, human misery, with epidemics, so it would be a very big surprise that we knew now act with promptness and efficiency in relation to climate change and geological .Ignorance and lack of sensitivity and political collective humanity is notorious throughout our history, just see the public reaction on the major findings of science.
