ENGLISH CORNER 4 SORRY GAIA

All over the world, people seem to realize that the fight against climate change is becoming an existential issue. With reason ! In 40 years, half of the wild animals have disappeared because of man. Thus, the population of wild vertebrates would have decreased by 52% between 1970 and 2010. More than 10,000 species have been studied to obtain this sad figure and the latest figures are simply frightening. According to this report, the Earth would have lost 52% of its wild fauna of vertebrates between 1970 and 2010. A heavy trend of which the man would be the main responsible and which would give "no sign of slowing down", in particular the presence of carbon levels in the atmosphere unmatched for more than a million years and its serious effects on climate change and ecosystems.

The Greeks created the ideal image of humanity and democracy while treating slaves cruelly. The 20th century became acquainted with typically human totalitarian ideologies (Hitler, Stalin, Hiro Hito, Mao) without the pretext of a vengeful god. The philosophy of the Enlightenment did not prevent Nanjing, Auschwitz and Hiroshima. At present, the ecology of planet Earth is the most extreme problem. Globalization creates a planetary ghetto with its own inner truth by locking the whole world into a techno-economy that totally isolates the individual. And so, everything will continue to deteriorate: Anthropocene followed by the Capitalocene and finally Thanatocene until its apotheosis: the world will be transformed into an immense post-humanist virtual delirium. Our time is not post-modern, but posthumous. Sorry Gaia!
