The right climate to migrate | Grammenos Mastrojeni | TEDxMilano


we are all saying that the consolidated
maximum mors your life mea
and one of the biggest idiocies that the
human mind has never given birth to one
earth is telling us, indeed it is there
screaming that to take care of the last of the
more fragile than the minute of his
beings we are not doing an act of
montella heroism that we are only for
following our cynical and cynical
immediate interest
this applies to an issue of which yes
the migrants give them a wrong name
climatic we will treat from the point of
view of our immediate cynical bieco
interest only that this interests
we must understand it see in this
device something that gives family
it’s called europe but you’ve never thought about it
to the strangeness of this idea all
continents are delimited according to the
geophysical barriers according to this
same criterion we are asia not
we exist
yet we want to be a continent
indeed the old continent what it is that
it characterizes us as something different
from asia we will say a culture that in the
its diversity is a certain unity
without wanting to make stupid speeches of
breed a certain physiognomic homogeneity
but for what is the determinant
fundamental to all this because
we are unitary well the determinant the
Climate Europe is Europe with one of its own
particular identity because it has
benefited from a climatic anomaly e
around this climatic anomaly it is
created our joint interest
only that things are changing
this climatic feature
of Europe I’m super simplifying but
in some way determined by being
been subject to the influence
of the anticyclone of the azores
which is receding, leaving the pace
more and more to African anticyclones
what does this mean that if
the climate has been so decisive in the
forge our identity ours
interests
changing the climate also changes these
we lose our European identity
no one is added to this
we also enter the community of
interests that are governed
from the African anticyclone
in this perspective of interest
we can try to understand what
they mean those people for us
they are sent away from their lands by one
climate that changes and makes them less
generous but we must also understand of
what we talk about
the general idea is that the more you and
poor more so if they are inclined to migrate and
this is not true
the poorest are enclosed in that
that technically is called the trap
of poverty have so little of their own
perspective is so short-range that a
they do not think about their problem
it is to find the bowl of rice in two hours
and only when you start having some
more security that is conceived the
travel to go far for
improve your lifestyle
well those who have some
basis for conceiving the journey at least one
small dose of free choice to do it
they are the true migrants and if they are managed well
they can also play a positive role
for themselves for those who welcome it but
this is another matter
the problem is that the climate changes
affects the lives of those who migrate
they could not those who must
just leave because the field
be dried up these are not migrants
these are part of forced movements
of the population and those prey to one
Forced population movement is not
useful itself is not useful to anyone
because even prey in its extreme
fragility of the illegality of traffics
of the terrorism of fanaticism
what the weather does we are used to
to feel that the changing climate creates gods
more extreme and violent phenomena e
therefore it impacts first of all on ours
physiology heat waves put in
difficulties older people yes
they are expanding the so-called reals ie
the areas of incidence of some diseases
infectious then we also hear that i
violent weather phenomena make of the
bad for our infrastructure
hurricanes that make bridges collapse
etc., etc. but almost no one speaks
of the true devastating effect of the climate
that changes
what is the greenhouse effect?
greenhouse is a portion of solar energy
which is introduced by our system
and it is not returned in space is
so much quantity has been announced in
another tent a decade ago
a scientist maybe even a bit
controversial but nevertheless from nasa james
hansen is the equivalent of
of the explosion of 400 thousand bombs
atomic a day in what it is
transform this energy that you do not
channel into structures that are
formed over millennia yes
turns into disorder turns into
unpredictability where the climate becomes
unpredictable
the companies have difficulty to
organize if I am a farmer and
I do not know when it will rain
I do not know when I sow but it’s not just one
rural question if I am
the administrator of the aqueduct of
Milan and I do not know if there will be snow or not or
big problems planning
here is if it happens to us to the extent that
It’s still happening we manage to
remedy but if it happens to a farmer
of burkina faso
there the cheaper question a missed one
harvest for a farmer from the valley
padana can mean losses
cheap but maybe so sure maybe
intervenes in the region for the farmer
at burkina faso makes the difference between
they sent their children to
school
and then it becomes a problem of rights
human
and we understand how a person is
subjected pressure on his
future prospects on rights more
fundamental of his family becomes
prey of migrations of fanaticism of
destabilization of all kinds e
something for the future is unfortunately no
already happening is already happening in
of areas that are characterized by
unique fragile system that overlaps
to a fragile society is happening
in the islands that are shouting theirs
despair
the maldives are putting one aside
par a portion of the proceeds of the
tourism to buy another in the future
earth is going on in the river delta
that are being realized is happening
in the Arctic the Arctic populations are
the despair of missing all that
who defined their culture and yes
turns into alcoholism turns into
suicides is happening in the mountains
particularly exposed and then stands
happening
in front of us the place where it is
happening more massively at the moment
current is right in front of us there
separates a short stretch of sea Italy
it stretches between the two sides of the
Mediterranean as if it were a bridge
removed a portion map
northern Africa is composed
mostly of deserts that were
deserts for a long time
within these deserts like
we well understood this morning there
they are populations they have found
a way of life compatible with this
system those with the system rather
only greedy that in this area there is not
only the desert there is also an area that
roughly it coincides with the sahel where there is
desertification
if we put on a plate of the
balance the generosity of these two
desert areas the desertification in
objective terms
the area of ​​desertification one more
a little more generous still a little richer
that not that of the desert only that
in the area of ​​desertification is
the certainty of the cycles of the
nature ie the disorder of a climate that
it is no longer regulated and therefore there is no one
can more organize you invite to observe
where it is located and notice that it coincides with
the area of hunger concentration e
of conflicts with the air of
concentration of dynamics
terrorists with the air of
concentration of trades
illicit drug money of any kind weapons
human beings and look a bit from where
are
nine out of ten of these migrants there
they are putting a little bit in crisis there
this is the reality for the moment on which
Italy in its first role
protagonist will establish a standard not
we must think that it ends here
I show you two photos 1 a crazy in the
first map you see the band of the
steels of the indo coach malaja and pamiro
this will somehow merge I do not have
the time to explain why not
they will gradually merge in proportion
at the increase in temperature there will be a
I point a collapse of glaciers
this band at some point
they will collapse but we who are Italians
what does it matter to us that
every time an item is lost
this wonderful balance that
we call biosphere or ecosystem not yes
it only loses its presence e
beauty also loses its function
the function it plays in maintaining
the balance of all the rest i
Steels perform many functions
one of these we are very interested in are the
regulators of an ordered outflow a
valley of water from the glaciers of this
the rivers that irrigate branch off
plains where one billion and are allocated
400 million people if the glaciers
they collapse in this area above all
to the south and monsoon
the situation in the valleys
suddenly it passes from one in which
during the glacier drought
melting makes those water arrive
rivers to a disastrous alternation of
droughts and floods
means that it goes into tilt with agriculture
the infrastructure and much more one
billion and 400 million people
we started having problems with
the arrival of about 380,000 people
we save all this, however
mountains are very ecosystems
fragile where populations live a lot
fragile and yes but they are small
far away I have not only 22 percent
of the land that emerged and live there at 913
millions of people if they start up
those and then there is another photo shows
a flooded subway and in new york
the rising of the seas is a question
very controversial is not clear if
it will be so if it will be little but now i
scientists you have heard of a
recent report by the nations panel
united consider plausible enough
the idea that it increases by a meter and a half
by the end of this century
add that 42 percent the
human population is allocated along the
coasts
if the sea rises one meter and
half there will be submerged areas but
it’s not so much the problem is that
enters the saline wedge water into play
salt enters the land burns i
Romans to make sure the city
defeat was completely out
game protruded salt on the fields and this
it is the effect that I will see from the faces that
I told you a nice kde sadness
everything is lost, we can not solve
we can solve it in our bik
cynical immediate interest like
reminding us that we are part of a whole
this scheme I show you was
elaborated by the barilla foundation
shows two pyramids the first is a lot
note the food pyramid shows us in
what proportion should we feed on
every category of food to be in
good health
so it is little red meat a little more than
proteins from other sources and gradually
especially vegetable fibers, etc.
etc
it happens that if we face this
pyramid to the impact pyramid
on the production ecosystem
each category I said coincide in
almost perfect way
this is more a certain type of food
consumed in excess are not
vegetarian hurts the person a lot
more hurts the ecosystem
damn that spectacular coincidence
in the food sector
only that it is not a coincidence and it is not
only in the food sector is a
paradigm of our relationship with
the ecosystem and do not need to go
to inconvenience ultraterrene wisdom is the
fruit of the co evolution and only
normal that we are in full well-being
when we place ourselves in harmony with the
system of which we are a part if not me
believe you try to make a baby
exercise your pyramid of
individual transport and you will notice that
how much more your choice of transport
it is your health to yours
integral well-being to yours
socializing the rhythms of life all the more
becomes sustainable and this is worth a bit
in all areas but because I’m here
saying this because this gives us one
track gives us a rule what it does
it’s really good for you too
planet
let’s move from individual discovery to
that global geostrategic if
the west by magic decided to
feed according to the pyramid not only
we would all be a bit better but yes
would disrupt the pedestrianization of the
world between a billion and a half people
who suffer from diseases for wrong or
excessive nutrition and 814 million
people who are hungry
what it means means that
sustainability
and well- being also become justice
redistribution frees those
resources that are consumed in excess by
some become available for the
others with what power the calculated one
professor of pleasure
if each of those who are registered
as pathologically obese in services
Western health care workers abstained from
a single can of sparkling drink al
day would create resources to feed 56
millions of people then mine
individual well-being becomes
sustainability becomes
justice but justice becomes peace
because a world where all children
they have access to decent nutrition
also a world that takes a little kick
boko haram i isis etcetera and then me
I propose to you this equation the equation
of the earth if I do not talk a lot
individual my choice in harmony with
planet but it is a political speech
we can apply this method these
half moons you have dug into the ground
only in burkina faso and I am a system
with which we can recover one hectare of
desertified land at 130 dollars
doing this what we do
let’s reactivate this for agriculture
soil but we create a carbon sink
extraordinarily efficient because the
vegetation is reborn not only
we protect biodiversity and consolidate
the water balance decreases
locally the heat because the
vegetation decreases heat and
the market starts all the activity
that is, we will undermine the
mechanism of fanaticism
the mechanism of human trafficking the
mechanism of wars do not believe us
this is the true result if not
let’s make
what we do we leave these countries in
prey to instability and this means
that they can no longer work together
recover the climate are out of the
common race to have a climate that
still be manageable but if I’m out
from the common race nobody succeeds
have a climate that is manageable for everyone
because these countries contribute with i
their territories managed sustainably
So what happens if we do them
we leave everyone in prey
how many we create that future that lighty
yes yes, the united nations panel has us
painted four days ago at 2040
the catastrophe is the only one of us
interest
we must take care of the little ones and the gods
poorer
