It is incredible that in this day and age you have made the abysmal mistake of expressing with clarity your ignorance and carelessness in what concerns to the problem of the HEATING UP OF THE EARTH BY GREENHOUSE GASES EFFECT. I understand that you are unaware of the intricate business such as the ‘feedback gain’ or even that you are unable to see beyond your lack of culture when someone talks you about ‘non-linear differential systems’. But what I fail to understand is what on earth you where thinking to have led to you loosing thousands of votes of the people who trusted in you, but who won’t anymore. I remind you what you’ve said:
“I’ve brought here ten of the most important scientists in the world and none of them has guarantied to me what the weather will be like in Seville tomorrow. Therefore how could anybody possibly say what will happen in the world in 300 years”
“…there are more important problems, as the ones of the energy sector, or the CO2 emissions”
With your first sentence, I understand that you speak without knowing what you’re talking about. This is a good habit that even I like to practice; but you have to know how to do it. With the second one, … where does your worry about CO2 emissions come from?
Listen Mariano**, I regret to say this to you, but you’ll have lost my vote if you don’t change your mind. That I clarify, it won’t be addressed to PRISOE***.
By the way, what you all see in the picture is one of the hundreds of glaciers from the last glaciation that in 70 years have almost gone. I don’t know if you have realized, but plants are blooming again in October****.
NOTES:
* Rajoy is the surname of the candidate for next elections in the right wing opposing political party (PP – Partido Popular).
** Mariano is the name of the candidate.
*** PRISOE is a joke of combining both words PSOE and PRISA. PSOE is the left wing party which is now in the government while PRISA is a very powerful media group of companies that used to be driven by a multimillionaire called Jesús de Polanco. Both, PSOE and PRISA are know to have very strong ties with the purpose of reinforcing each other.
“All that we can do, is to keep steadily in mind that each organic being is striving to increase at a geometrical ratio; that each at some period of its life, during some season of the year, during each generation or at intervals, has to struggle for life, and to suffer great destruction. When we reflect on this struggle, we may console ourselves with the full belief, that the war of nature is not incessant, that no fear is felt, that death is generally prompt, and that the vigorous, the healthy, and the happy survive and multiply.”
Charles Darwin
‘The origin of the species’
In this article I would like to clarify that the Homo sapiens, although it has changed the selection mechanism, it hasn’t stopped evolving and, in fact, it does it in a more and more impressive way. The reason for the difference between the present mammal and the past generations of the tree (Homo rodhesiensis -> Homo antecesor -> Homo ergaster -> Homo habilis -> Australopitecus garhi -> Australopitecus anamensis -Australopitecus ramidus -> Toumai) is that now is not the “survival of the fittest” what takes part in the selection of favourable mutations, but the “triumph of the fittest”. And the triumph of the fittest obeys the laws of money, the power of the individual and, as a consequence the making of satisfactory descendants. Not having to consider isolated cases in particular (otherwise the shadow of the uncertainty of the sample variability would cover up the result of a general law), but rather doing the sum of the whole population of Homo sapiens and its habits nowadays, one must reach necessarily a force stronger than the death of the weak indeed namely, the economic thinking. It’s a common known fact that generally speaking, the population of this species in rural areas is less good-looking than it in urban areas*. I leave this case and many other related ones to the readers own personal reflexion, as it is not my concern to get into the details of how this effect takes place. I make clear at all times that the analysis is general and average with no intent to offend and verifiable.
We live in a society where the intelligent thrives. That’s the way we built it. If you attempt to find a model of cohabitation in which the evolution of our species remains static, you will not succeed. But there is no cause for alarm, it is designed so that nobody dies because of a shortage of food, and that there is no need to compete with the rest of the species anymore. You will not realize how satisfactory your contribution to physiological evolution of the human species will have been; and therefore forget everything I have told you, because it is of no importance.
NOTES:
* Although this phenomenon may not take place in other parts of the world, it does apply to the Iberian peninsula, and therefore may not be of any significance in other countries.
For some time, Europe has seen the development of a strong antiamericanism, a disporportionate hatred of everything american. We hear the word America and the only image that comes to our minds is Bushe’s. Well, and how would it be an antieuropean american? Can you imagine?…
We invented democracy, which is that word that you claim proudly everytime you say it. You say that american movies are rubbish, but they’re the only ones you go to the theater to see. You subsidize yours. You think we are bastards for having invented the Nuclear Bomb, when in fact we made it because it was necessary to avoid Hitler making it first (a european, by the way).
We helped you in the World War II and we won it together. We showed you what a telephone compny was and so an airline and we gave you our own money to let you make it, our own money, the only one you trusted. We put a man on the Moon at the same time you were making goats cheese. We pay for the military and you benefit for the fact that there are no wars in your coutries, nevertheless you demonize our army. You think that your education system is better, but we have the best universities. Some of you study there and then you come back to your country showing off. Your health care system is also better, but you use all the medicines we invent. You laugh of our election campaigns and the oly thing you do after is copying them.
I could go on, but it is not my way of thinking; it is the antiamericans way of thinking but the other way round. Don’t you think is not much impartial? Perhaps we are being a little unfair with americans and only able to say some clichés about them. We shouldn’t keep thinking that we are the centre of the world.
Como habréis podido leer en las noticias de los últimos meses, la Agencia Espacial Estadounidense NASA está preparando el regreso a nuestro satélite. Los presupuestos están aprobados y la previsión es que alrededor del año 2015 habrá un hombre caminando de nuevo sobre él. Esta vez, sin embargo, se presenta diferente. Los objetivos resultan ser mucho más ambiciosos que los de 1969. La Luna, lejos de ser la meta, será una parada en el camino para lo que se avecina como la mayor aventura en la que el ser humano se haya embarcado jamás. Hace hoy diez días que la NASA ha solicitado al Centro de Vuelo Espacial Marshall la proposición del pedido de la fase superior del vehículo de lanzamiento conocido ya como Ares I. Este nuevo cohete asumirá las funciones de lo que se entiende como nave versátil, una novedad para el programa espacial. Será capaz tanto de poner satélites en órbita y llevar astronautas a la Estación Espacial Internacional como de traspasar las fronteras de la Tierra y llevar al ser humano a dos mundos tan diferentes como son la Luna y Marte.
La NASA y el gobierno de los Estados Unidos presentan seis razones principales por las que deciden iniciar esta aventura:
Civilización Humana: extender la presencia humana en la Luna para habilitar un asentamiento eventual.
Conocimiento Científico: perseguir las actividades científicas que dirigen las cuestiones fundamentales sobre la historia de la Tierra, el Sistema Solar y el Universo y nuestro lugar en él.
Preparación de la exploración: probar tecnologías, sistemas, operaciones de vuelo y técnicas de exploración para reducir los riesgos e incrementar la productividad de las futuras misiones a Marte y más allá.
Coalición global: proporcionar una actividad desafiante, compartida y pacífica que une a las naciones en la persecución de objetivos comunes.
Expansión económica: expandir la esfera económica de la Tierra y llevar las actividades lunares con beneficios para la vida a nuestro planeta hogar.
Público comprometido: utilizar una exploración espacial vibrante para enganchar al público, estimular a los estudiantes y ayudar a desarrollar las herramientas de alta tecnología que se requieren para afrontar los retos del mañana.
