18 mars 2009<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abJames Hansen, a climate modeller with Nasa, told the Guardian today that corporate lobbying has undermined democratic attempts to curb carbon pollution. The democratic process doesn’t quite seem to be working, he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbSpeaking on the eve of joining a protest against the headquarters of power firm E.ON in Coventry, Hansen said: The first action that people should take is to use the democratic process. What is frustrating people, me included, is that democratic action affects elections but what we get then from political leaders is greenwash. The democratic process is supposed to be one person one vote, but it turns out that money is talking louder than the votes. So, I’m not surprised that people are getting frustrated. I think that peaceful demonstration is not out of order, because we’re running out of time.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tHansen justifie ses jugements, notamment par des constats pessimistes concernant le processus de n\u00e9gociation au niveau international, les r\u00e9sultats de ces n\u00e9gociations, la nouvelle politique de l’administration Obama, qu’il juge d\u00e9cevante, etc. Il s’agit de divers processus qu’il juge absolument insatisfaisants, par cons\u00e9quent n\u00e9cessitant des pressions ext\u00e9rieures.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abHansen said: What’s being talked about for Copenhagen is a strenghening of Kyoto<\/em> [protocol] approach, a cap and trade with offsets and escape hatches which will be gauranteed to fail in terms of getting the required rapid reduction in emissions. They talk about goals which sound impressive, but when you see the actions are such that it will be impossible to reach those goals, then I can understand the informed public getting frustrated.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbHe said he was growing concerned over the stance taken by the new US adminstration on global warming. It’s not clear what their intentions are yet, but if they are going to support cap and trade then unfortunately i think that will be another case of greenwash. It’s going to take stronger action than that.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tCette position est int\u00e9ressante, celle d’une personnalit\u00e9 disposant d’un statut important, presque encore officiel, et certainement un statut tr\u00e8s important dans les structures de contestation de l’action officielle pour une politique affirm\u00e9e contre la crise climatique. L’attitude de Hansen indique que les r\u00e9flexions de contestation dans ce domaine pourraient conduire \u00e0 utiliser des canaux d\u00e9marqu\u00e9s des processus d\u00e9mocratiques normaux. La logique de cette \u00e9volution, \u00e9videmment devant la faiblesse des r\u00e9sultats \u00e0 attendre de l’action officielle, conduit \u00e0 une radicalisation de l’action, c’est-\u00e0-dire au d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9ventuel d’une protestation qui sortirait compl\u00e8tement des processus d\u00e9mocratiques, y compris \u00e9ventuellement des processus de protestation seulement pacifiques.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
