On the topic:
- "The climate catastrophe has already arrived, without any mitigation measures, and those who argue otherwise are only thinking of individual interests."
- There are hundreds of reports from the best experts on the planet's climate and biological realities that demonstrate a large number of negative consequences for all living things, in addition to strict measurements that place the increase in the temperature of the seas above one degree.
- “We still have time, but we need to understand concepts like sustainable development or the circular economy; we can’t wait.”
- "We can no longer think that we are not guilty; it is about saving what saves us because we depend on nature."
- Alarming data such as the destruction of between twenty and thirty million trees each year in the world and the United Nations proposes as an antidote that each human being plant 140 trees, "makers of clean air as an obstacle to the scorching of our atmosphere"
- “We have stopped understanding each other; there is little thought and feeling.”
- “Live with life, not against it.” “There are plastics and insecticides in our bodies.”
- “Climate is the lifeblood of life.”
- “We are experiencing one of the most extraordinary paradoxes in history: public authorities have been thoroughly informed about what is happening, and the population has reached a high level of awareness. We have all the ingredients to take action, but no measures are being taken.”
- “It won’t be a technological solution that gets us out of this slow burn, but rather the replacement of the current energy model with another. We are in a labyrinth that we must get out of before global warming takes hold in our landscapes.”
- Those most responsible for poisoning the air, soil, and sea should pay taxes. There is a lack of internal consistency within the tax system: “Failing to address this climate tragedy from an economic standpoint could cost between 15 and 30 percent of GDP in different countries.”
