A couple of years ago, Wired had a lot of headlines with an article on some myths "green" to be discredited. According to the American magazine In fact, there would be a set of beliefs carried out as flags of protest from environmentalists for several years, which in reality nothing more than legends.
The focus of the article was that it is futile to fight for small individual campaigns, as does most aprte environmentalists, when climate change is pushing the planet into chaos.
1) Life in the countryside is greener than town.
The reasons are many: from petrol (and exhaust gases) emitted to reach the villages, land emissions during processing, or during the rearing of animals, even up to the concentration of consumption grouped into communities, which could become more harmful when used individually in isolated houses.
2) The air conditioning can be ecological
it is preferable to use it in winter, despite the waste of electricity, and the resulting emissions, because the alternative would be the radiator, which pollute much more than the conditions themselves.
3) The GM crops are more environmentally friendly organic agricultural products,
fact, genetically modified organisms on which FAO also aims could solve the problem of hunger in poor countries, artificially providing food in greater quantities and cost less than organic crops.
4) The forests contribute to global warming ,
better to build farms within them.
5) China will be the solution to environmental problems,
fact the Chinese, the Indians together, are making an effort to develop renewable energy on an industrial scale, much more than is the case in America and Europe.
6) accepted the 'genetic engineering , super-
because the new GM could cut emissions of greenhouse gases.
7) The trade in "carbon credit" is not a good ,
because the agreement between industrialized and poor countries to buy shares "inquinabilità" leads to a concentration dell''inquinamento in determinate zone, situazioen assai più dannosa di una produzione più estesa ma meno fitta.
8) E' meglio acquistare un’auto usata che una nuova ibrida ,
infatti la diminuzione di produzione automobilistica inquinerà molto meno di un'auto a Euro zero.
9) Il nucleare è ecologico ,
dato che formisce energia elettrica senza emissioni di Co2.
10) E' inutile ostinarsi a combattere i cambiamenti climatici ,
bisogna abituarci ad essi, ed agire di conseguenza, preparandosi magari al peggio. Secondo Wired, infatti, saremmo ormai in ritardo per rimediare, e l’unica cosa da fare è utilizzare le conoscenze technical and scientific effort to limit the damage.
It 's interesting now to review these 10 "green heresies", because in just two years some have been revalued. What do you think?
