The famous American linguist and philosopher, Noam Chomsky, has warned that the Republican Party of the United States of America is now "the most dangerous organization in the history of the world", because the new American president, Donald Trump, rejects climate change. In this line are also many well-known figures of the leadership of the American Republicans.
Professor Chomsky, speaking after the presidential election, said it appeared that human beings intended to respond to what he called "the most important issue in their history ... by accelerating the race's path to disaster."
Trump has already appointed a known climate change denier to head his transition team to oversee the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other advisers known for their ties to the energy industry. petroleum fossils.
Trump has also vowed not to scrap the Paris Agreement on climate change, which President Barack Obama hailed as "the moment we finally decided to save our planet".
Prominent climate scientists have expressed their dismay after Trump's election, suggesting he could be an "uncontrollable disaster for the planet". Speaking to the "Truthout" website, Chomsky cited a report by the World Meteorological Organization, which said that the last five years have been the warmest and where there were reports of rising sea levels, with sudden melting of ice and with other effects affecting climate change.
The elections of November 8 have given the Republicans total control of the American Government, and this means that they have now become "the most dangerous organization in the history of the world", Chomsky emphasized.
“That last sentence may seem strange, even harsh. But is it so? The facts suggest otherwise. The Party is committed to the fastest possible pace of destruction of organized human life. There is no historical precedent for such a stance,” he stressed. “It is difficult to find the right words to sum up the fact that human beings are facing the most important question in their history – whether organized human life will survive in the form we know it – and are responding by accelerating the race to destruction.”
He rejected the suspicions that this statement could be exaggerated.
"During the party primaries, every candidate denied what was going on, that it was happening -- except for the sensitive moderates, like Jeb Bush, who said it's not safe, but we shouldn't do anything because we're we produce more natural gas, thanks to the process of injecting liquid elements into fossils. Or John Kasich, who agreed that climate change is happening but added that we're going to burn coal in Ohio and make no apologies for it. The winning candidate, now president-elect, calls for increased use of various fossil fuels, including coal; breaking the rules; refuses to provide aid to developing countries that are seeking to transition to sustainable energy; and generally arrive at the rock as soon as possible", adds the well-known professor.
And, financial markets have reacted immediately after such discussions. Tens of millions of people in Bangladesh are expected to be left homeless by rising sea levels in the coming decades. Chomsky has said that a well-known scientist there suggested that with a little "justice", those refugees should enjoy the right to move to the countries responsible for the emission of greenhouse gases that caused the problem.
"These catastrophic consequences can only increase, not only in Bangladesh, but also throughout South Asia, as temperatures are rising inexplicably, already unbearable for the poor, and the Himalayan glaciers are melting, endangering the entire water supply," he points out. he. "It has already been reported that in India we have more than 300 million people who do not have drinking water. And the effect will go even further." /lexo.al/
