Interview – Climate Changes, Culture of Growth and Consensus Issues

Posted by Fausto Aarya De Santis on October 5, 2010 under Interviews, Video | Be the First to Comment

It’s undeniable CO2 emissions, whose increase in the last recent years is proportional to the increase of GDP (PIL in italian language) of the Advanced Countries, are the most influent parameter responsible for climate changes, and it’s undeniable the G8 Countries are responsible for most of the 60% of the CO2 emission in world history. “I personally believe the fundamental matter is consensus – says Luca Basile, General Secretary of Amici dei Popoli NGO – An increase of GDP assures an immediate increase of consensus, while climate changes have usually only long term effects… Which means climate change will not be felt as an urgent problem by current politicians, unless civil society makes pressure and sensitization for that”

In his opinion, if the ACP Countries signed the EPAs, the immediate consequences would be an increase of their internal costs, less Government income and the division of Africa.
