Climatic changes: Global causes, global consequences, global solution

Abstract

The key cause of climatic changes in the contemporarity is in the characteristic of capitalism that rests on the idea of profit maximization. Therefore, it is a systematic characteristic. Race for profit regardless the consequences for the nature, success of accelerated industrialization, attempts of humankind to accomplish always new demands that appear (from using deodorant to driving powerful cars with great capacities that emit lot of carbon-dioxide), creation of new technologies that "clear" themselves until they cause a nuclear eco-catastrophe (Chernobyl, 1986, Fukushima, 2011), wars that devastate environment, devastation of Amazon forest and similar, represent just some of direct causes for climatic changes that characterize our contemporarity. Maybe the time has come that, in this sense, the idea of improving the system is replaced with the idea of changing the system.

Ključni uzrok klimatskih promena u savremenosti nalazi se u karakteristici kapitalizma koji počiva na ideji o maksimalizaciji profita. Dakle, radi se o sistemskoj karakteristici.Trka za zaradom bez obzira na posledice po prirodu, uspesi ubrzane industrijalizacije, nastojanje čoveka da ostvaruje sve nove i nove potrebe koje mu se rađaju (od upotrebe dezodoransa do vožnje moćnih automobila velike kubikaže koji ispuštaju mnogo ugljendioksida) stvaranje novih tehnologija koje se "čiste" sve dok ne izazovu nuklearnu eko-katastrofu (Černobilj, 1986, Fukušima, 2011), ratovi koji devastiraju životnu sredinu, uništavanje amazonskih šuma i sl. predstavljaju samo neke od neposrednih povoda klimatskih promena koje obeležavaju našu savremenost.Možda je došlo vreme da se, u tom smislu, ideja poboljšanja sistema, zameni idejom promene sistema?.
