The resources of a country must be administered by the State not private companies: Toharia

The scientific disseminator Manuel Toharia, warned that the energy generation and consumption model that prevails in the world will only generate the impoverishment of the middle classes and low measures in rich countries, as well as greater paauperization of poor people and workers in nations in nationsof medium wealth or poverty.

The former director of the Prince Felipe Science Museum of Valencia, gave this noon since that Spanish city a virtual conference entitled Did Catastrophic Climate Change?Yes, but ..., at the invitation of the University Center for Regional Disaster Prevention of the Autonomous University of Puebla (Creder).

In his exhibition, which can be consulted on the Facebook page of the Cepreder, the physicist specialized in physmary physics and who is the author of several books, explained the controversial position he has held since the last decade of the last century about climate change andthe political and economic use that governments have given the same issue as transnational corporations.

“The essence of the problem of climate change is not climate change, but this phenomenon is a consequence of a much broader problem, which is the developed world that has done so, development, which is amazing from many points of view,It has achieved it based on a series of impacts on the environmental environment: air, water, soil, whatever, impacts that are being of such caliber that today the situation is no longer sustainable, and from there it derives all fashionCurrent to talk about sustainability.But, of course, when economists especially capitalists speak of sustainability, what they really mean is that the development that implies constant growths remains a little some things, and it is not that, sustainability implies that it is environmentally viable,that is, our impacts are assumed with the environment.If they are not, then this is not sustainable, ”he said.

Although he admitted that the emission of polluting gases product of the combustion of machines affects global warming, he said that, strictly speaking, science has few data and a very short measurement of years of studies, to assert that the so -called changeClimate is a direct result of human activity, since the phenomenon may actually be due to the natural processes of a planet with an age of more than 4,500 million years and that has its own transformations since before humanity appeared.

He warned, as an example, that there are buoys to measure the behavior of the oceans and their eventual level increase, but that these monitoring stations are not enough to obtain blunt data but that they are not even distributed with a rational approach in all the seas.

On the other hand, much more precise measurement instruments such as satellites, which record the temperature of the earth in layers, including the seas, do not have been used or 50 years old, so that their temporary range of records is very short is very shortas to generate strong hypothesis.

He also mentioned other elements that are not even being considered in the equation to presume climate change, such as water vapor:

“Today, the entire world has almost 8 billion inhabitants.80 percent of energy is still obtained by burning coal, oil and natural gas that emits CO2.It is evident that this increase (of global warming) can only be due to this, of course, CO2 is a greenhouse gas, although it is less powerful than water, or participates less in the earth's greenhouse effect set.However, we see that the issue is uploading, we do not know anything about water vapor! Because of course there is a natural water vapor that is in sea water and in the atmosphere and in rivers and plants and in plants andIn humans, well the water vapor, globally talking about water, has a liquid phase, has a solid phase, the ice and also has a gas phase: water vapor.

And questioned: how much of the water vapor that has increased (...) comes from the hydrocarbons there in the atmosphere and how much it stays in the form of gas? How much is it becomes water? How much does it become ice?, ThatBalance we do not completely ignore ”.There are many things that we do not know, one of them, surely very important, we do not know the balance of water vapor.In doubt, there are researchers who tend to simplify their work and we also don't know how to do better.Mathematics are very high level statistical, they may understand a little less, but the important thing is that they manage to simplify and assume a series of parameterizations, in this specific case, well, well, the water vapor we assume that it is compensated whenThere is more water vapor in the atmosphere, as gas there is more condensation therefore there will be more clouds, there are more clouds and there is more shadow, but there will also be more rain.If there is more rain ... Well in the background we don't know! ”.

The core of the problem

Toharia considers that the core of the problem is in the demographic explosion that has accelerated worldwide from the 18th century and the inefficient use of coal energies, fossils and even the so -called alternative.

Its main thesis is that the exploitation of fossil -based energy such as oil or coal, with combustion machines that are not efficient enough, contribute to the generation of gases that cause the greenhouse effect.However, he warned that, until now, alternative energies have not turned out to be a definitive solution, especially for its high cost and gave as an example the solar and wind energies, of which only 25 percent of 25 percent ofWhat is generated, which affects high consumption prices that only wealth can pay.

“The cost of electricity in Spain of course is more expensive and more and more, because we pay the fine of CO2 and we also pay for a rate in which natural gas plays a very important role and it is the most expensive, much moreexpensive than hydroelectric energy or even that nuclear.In Europe a story of the same goes for: Germany depends on 80 percent of its electricity from Russia, but the conflicts in Crimea, in Ukraine and the gas pipeline passes through there because suddenly makes Austria and Germany be scared before aTotal blackout due to lack of Russian gas, which would not reach the amount they need ”, he explained.

He added: “And then, on the other hand, there is naturally electricity, which is the one that illuminates households and what the general energy balance consumed in the world implies.Electricity does not exist, you have to create it.How is it created? It is basically created in plants that burn fossil fuels, but more and more we have wind centrals, solar, others that will come, but the wind centrals are very important, it is true that they are not zero emitters of CO2, because buildThese plants, transport them and both emit CO2, but they could allow usSimply for the electricity of loading the batteries of electric cars at night, which is at least electricity is consumed.I don't know, the world is already thinking about these solutions, they are not the solution, it is a good part of the solution ”.

In another part of his exhibition, Toharia predicted: “This whole process will end in an impoverishment of the middle and low medium classes in rich countries and the poor and workers in the rich or poor countries.So, globally speaking is the most antisocial that has ever been done, we are promoting a kind of crushing capitalism, without anticipating it, of the most disadvantaged classes in the world.We are going to a very numerous world and instead of less poor, poorer, not the rich huh, nor the medium rich, from half down ”.

In that logic, to the question of Dr. Ana Lillian Martin del Pozzo, researcher at the Institute of Geophysics of the National Autonomous University Mexico (UNAM) about the exploitation and administration of the country's natural resources that allow norms such as the Mining Law, TohariaHe pronounced in favor of the State and not the companies who are in charge of both tasks and explained:

“The problem of the resources of each country is a problem of the government of each country, which is also changing.That here in Spain we have had fluctuations of the left, the right and opposite policies, in the energy issue and in the issue of mining, for example, in this type of issues, and Mexico the same.So, of course, that regarding the global theme, the global change of the world strategy of such, because it is little, it is small, but it is what matters, because it matters to the society in which one is immersed ”.

And he added: “I would be in this very socialist aspect, in the most noble sense of the word, that is, public resources have to be managed by public, state companies, not by private companies.What happens is that there you collide with the environment, in quotes, capitalist, which I insist on this word, because you have to recover it, which is that of private companies and profit, why?, Because private companies are supposed toThey will give employment and unemployment is the great ghost, in Spain it is, in Mexico it is, in many places, in the countries that are growing very quickly or that we grow and that we are already a level of sufficient wealth ”.

Then, he warned: “unemployment is a great enemy, so companies give employment, well, public companies too, ah, no, (they say) public companies are poorly managed because governments are corrupt, and private companies don'tThey are corrupt? ... also, when can they corrupt others or put them to their administration advice;as do many politicians who leave politics ".

And he finished: “What to do with the resources we have, because we have to exploit them, exploit them through a public company, managed by capable people, with good officials and honest.That corruption is involved to the interior of the public administration, yes, and not only in Mexico, in the United States, that there is corruption to the top and in Mexico.Even so, the benefits, at least what the corrupt is carried out for pocket, the benefits will be for the State, not for a private company ”.
