Brainwashing


ecology is very complicated. A bit of teaching is sometimes necessary. Here. An automobile is a motor vehicle powered by fuel oil. Burning oil results in carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas Greenhouse, whose accumulation in the atmosphere causes climate change. It would be desirable to limit climate change, thus reducing emissions of greenhouse gas emissions, thus using fewer cars.

Cars drive on the roads. Some roads, specially equipped, are called highways. On highways, cars drive faster, therefore emit more carbon dioxide. Moreover, experience shows that highways generate higher automobile traffic on roads which they are added. In order to limit climate change, it is desirable to stop building highways.

December 14, just after the end of the Cancun Conference on Climate Change, France inaugurated A 65 motorway, which connects to Langon Pau, Aquitaine: local politicians, businesses and state officials have congratulated . Two assumptions: either these people are ignorant of the link between motor oil, highway and climate change, or they are irresponsible.

When the communication campaign accompanying the inauguration, greenhouse gas emissions were never mentioned. By a process that our Anglo-Saxon call of greenwashing, and that can be translated simply as "brainwashing ecological" proponents of the highway has highlighted that natural environments destroyed by the new route would be "compensated" in other fields will have their biodiversity maintained or restored. For now, only 160 hectares are being "offset", while the highway was destroyed nearly 2,000 hectares of nature reserves, forests and meadows. And, secondly, the land sought for compensation are not created ex nihilo, but are themselves grasslands, wetlands or existing woodlands: the net gain of biodiversity is zero.

All are designed to conceal the reality that we continue the destruction on behalf of an economic model obsolete. And at the same time, it weakens the concrete means to support biodiversity: the draft finance bill 2011 that was just passed by the Senate reduced from 4 000 to 2,000 euros the amount of tax credit allocated farmers converted to organic farming. Highway on one side, paralysis of organic farming on the other: it's sustainable!
