Les milieux officiels britanniques indiquent discr\u00e8tement l’importance qu’ils attachent \u00e0 ce discours r\u00e9cent de John Reid, au cours d’un s\u00e9minaire du RUSI \u00e0 Chatham House. Le ministre de la d\u00e9fense britannique y met en \u00e9vidence les dangers fondamentaux auxquels nous allons nous trouver confront\u00e9s dans le cadre de guerres de survivance, ou guerres des ressources.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tIl s’agit de r\u00e9flexions strat\u00e9giques directement d\u00e9velopp\u00e9es \u00e0 partir de l’int\u00e9r\u00eat puissant que les Britanniques, aussi bien dans ces milieux officiels que dans les milieux scientifiques et les milieux activistes, porte aux crises de survivance, crise climatique, crise de l’environnement, crise des ressources et leurs cons\u00e9quences.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tC’est dans l’article de Michael Klare du 11 mars<\/a> sur Alternet.org<\/em> (voir aussi sur TomPaine.org<\/a>, le 7 mars) que l’intervention du ministre Reid est le mieux signal\u00e9e, par rapport au contexte que dessine Michael Klare. Cit\u00e9 \u00e9galement dans l’article de Klare, rapport du Pentagone<\/a> sur la crise climatique, qui n’eut gu\u00e8re de suite.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tVoici quelques pr\u00e9cisions de Klare sur le discours de Reid : \u00ab It’s official: the era of resource wars is upon us. In a major London address, British Defense Secretary John Reid warned that global climate change and dwindling natural resources are combining to increase the likelihood of violent conflict over land, water and energy. Climate change, he indicated, will make scarce resources, clean water, viable agricultural land even scarcer and this will make the emergence of violent conflict more rather than less likely.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Although not unprecedented, Reid’s prediction of an upsurge in resource conflict is significant both because of his senior rank and the vehemence of his remarks. The blunt truth is that the lack of water and agricultural land is a significant contributory factor to the tragic conflict we see unfolding in Darfur, he declared. We should see this as a warning sign.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Resource conflicts of this type are most likely to arise in the developing world, Reid indicated, but the more advanced and affluent countries are not likely to be spared the damaging and destabilizing effects of global climate change. With sea levels rising, water and energy becoming increasingly scarce and prime agricultural lands turning into deserts, internecine warfare over access to vital resources will become a global phenomenon.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 14 mars 2006 \u00e0 10H38<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Les milieux officiels britanniques indiquent discr\u00e8tement l’importance qu’ils attachent \u00e0 ce discours r\u00e9cent de John Reid, au cours d’un s\u00e9minaire du RUSI \u00e0 Chatham House.
