WHY ARE OUR POLITICIANS BLIND TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS OF COUNTRY?


After the bill of Ms Mirela Holy to our National Assembly, on establishing 'The Agency of National Parks' failed, I have no other choice but ask myself why our politicians have NO sensitivity to the environmental problems, being deaf and blind to them???

This numb of all senses last unfortunately back more than decade, since we lost the last environment minister Mr. Kovacevic who accepted post as the ambassador.
Ever since in this country has been done less possible for the national environment!
Or should I say undone???

But I am not politicians although their bad decisions affects all, I have no influence to their decisions and this on failing bill of Ms Holy was one of bad one...
So why we DO HAVE NEED for such 'The National Park Agency'?
The reply is simple, because the shrinkage of forests on this planet spreads faster then e mail virus:

-Mato Grosso rain forests shrinked in last 60 years 60 pct.We all signed petition to stop ex routing the forests but do we stopped it indeed?

-In last several years forests fires on Sumatra caused by natural causes such as thunders(?)or arson, repeats almost each summer, too often, too similar pattern to be accidental...

-Californian fire disaster several years back has sent into ashes several hundreds thousands hectares of forestry

-our humble donation to this problem reflects in our hyper production of  parquetry for export to Europe, although our oak forests are so limited that should be protected by laws as the national wealth by 'The National Park Agency' that bill failed to be accepted so no one cares about and the ex routing of oak forests advances further...

The oak tree takes at least 50 years to grow into more or less big enough to be understood as the mature tree...
It says if you are born when the plant was planted, you will be 50 when this tree will be thrown enough shadow for you to enjoy it during hot summer days....

Think about!

Think about, that in Gorski Kotar, projects of ecological wind mills takes ex routing further 30
hectares of remnants of forests we  CAN NOT AFFORD TO CUT OFF!
If we want our children and their children will be able to breath fresh air and not to choke as poor Bejing people.
But  in entire world people are rising wind mills alongside highways not to cutting any tree, if possible.
Because they know how and want to preserve what they have.
The decarbonisation problem has roots in ex rooting!

For the plant uses the simple biological process of absorbing CO2 as the raw material for the production of chlorophyll, basic plant food. The less plants, the less CO2 absorbed, the emission of unused CO2 rises, and will be rising until we will not achieve dynamic equilibrium point in having that many forests that can absorb all produced CO2.

But do not think that we are angels.We are breathing in O2 and exhaling CO2, several l pro minute, multiplying 60, multiplying 24 hrs, multiplying 365 days in the year.

Of course do not forget to multiply by 7 billions breathing on this planet!

Do we truly underrate all what we have and are not able "...to preserve what we borrowed from our fathers to leave our children some day..."-as the US Indians say for the land and the environment...

So is this game in it? We do not need 'The Park Agency' for control of devastation our forests and parks can be done and no one will be prosecuted for the ecocide?

Just opposite!

Our need for Agency rises each day more for our Lonjsko polje is imperiled,  Kopacki rit is imperiled, and although  looks paradoxically, but in Plitvicka jezera Park the number of visitors have to be limited to preserve fragile ecological system so as in Park Slapovi Krke... 

Do you remember Spacva oak forests, the Serbian troops invaders cut to the roots and sent  oak woods to Serbia?
Why we do not at least charge them to buy the new oak plants to be planed there, on the site of that ecocide, the unemployed citizens of Croatia will be more than happy to take part in forestation of that area, paid decently of course...

And the bill goes to the perpetrators.


In Turkey, in Istambol, the citizens stood as one in defeating the only park left that Erdogan's authorities want to turn into what else, but shopping center...

So isn't this need for 'The Park Agency' actually exaggerating and actually someone's hidden ambitions to grab political points?
NO!
Have you noticed news (BBC for inst) that in Bejing citizens are choking in smog that weather forecast say will last for next several weeks?

Sumatra forests fires are choking whole Malesia's citizens...

How many forests went into ashes and how many trees will not be able to produce O2 for our breathing?Remember still last years fires in Australia, a year ago Californian fire disaster?

How many trillion tons of CO2 goes in the atmosphere by each volcano eruption??
We can not stop the natural catastrophes, but we can work on diminish their bad influences on environment and our lungs, lungs of our children, lungs of their children...

Yes, we can not stop thunders and storms or statics electricity, but we can do, and have to do in utmost protection of the forests left on this planet!!!

Because it is not five to twelve but twelve past five...

For the several years ago we took not famous at all, place on bottom list of the countries concerned in ecological problems, that shocked our politicians.

But we fully deserved it.

So, you do not have to share my opinion that we have to put all our efforts in defeating not only each forest but each tree on this planet, and therefore each country had to have its own" The National Park Agency" to do so if they do not have it by now.

Ms Mirela Holy, thank you for yours "one woman battle" for preserving what we have, but seems the people sitting in our The Assembly haven't understand what you were talking about.

But the sand watch of our time runs too fast, there is no time more for the small 'might games', look at Bejing, look at Malesia, this is our common near future if you will not treat this problem as it deserves: mature and responsible!

DECARBONISATION



Discussion column in The Guardian of June 5th 2013
to the article:'Decarbonisation target narrowly defeated in Commons energy bill vote', issued on June 4th 2013, by Fiona Harvey, environment correspondent


Tatijana Malacko
I am afraid that more than papers, decisions, bills, declarations etc are needed, and this is very, very simple.
Use biological fact that CO2 is the raw material for plants to build chlorophyll, so as many trees , bushes and plants we are planting, the less CO2 will be in the atmosphere.
In last 60 years, 60 pct of Mato Grosso is exrooted, the planet lost 60 pct of its lungs. How can we breath further?
Can we afford ourselves to loose 10 pct of our lungs of the planet each ten years?
Time is running!
Yes, we still can breathe, but this situation can not last long.
So, the first step to be: the appeal to Mrs. Delma for immediately cease of any works on shrinking the rain forests.If needed, we must call the summit on' Mato Grosso Protocol' even on the highest level such as G summits...Because the problem deserves the highest level!
Yes, the petition we all signed but what happen after that? The bunch of environmentalists has signed that, who cares?
But, the problem is far bigger than we see it now.We saw that people in China are choking in smog.This is going to be our future if we will neglect it. And soon after the nations will extinct because the O2 will go off!
We must realize that the only 'factories' producing O2 are the leaves: that of trees, bushes, plants...
Our biggest 'factory' Mato Grosso collapsed 60 pct.
What the owner of the factory does when the factory goes so bad? Does he talks useless discussions or acts?
Billions are spent on the projects on how to lower the level of CO2.
There is only one solution to that: PLANTS!
If the money, spent for the projects would have been spent on forestation, today the level of CO2 would have drop truly...
So, how many times will be lost in talks more?
Apart from relatively innocent, chemically inert CO2, there are the compounds that 'eat' O2 thousand times faster, for inst some phtalates!
But world is silent on hyperproduction and overusage of phtalates that are poisoning us from all our surroundings: washing powders, softeners, perfumes, shower gels...They are cheap and over all.
As well, in our blood stream...
Why no one cares about that?
