				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>C4SS Feed 44 presents <a href="http://c4ss.org/content/author/grant-mincy" target="_blank">Grant A. Mincy</a>&#8216;s “<a href="http://c4ss.org/content/32254" target="_blank">Climate Action: Stand on the Ashes of Power</a>” read by Erick Vasconcelos and edited by Nick Ford.</p>

<p>The US Department of Defense is the nation’s single largest consumer of fossil fuels. From arms production to the grand machines of war, the military emits more greenhouse gas than any other state institution. War also wrecks natural ecosystems. Ongoing interventions have damaged forests and wetlands across the Middle East. According to CostOfWar.org, Afghanistan has lost 38% of total forested area to illegal logging. This deforestation is associated with warlords who rise to power from the ashes of military campaigns that continually destabilize the region. This plunder eliminates beneficial ecosystem services to surrounding populations and gives rise to further conflict and violence as people are left with depleted resources. Forest loss also reduces the amount of available habitat for a number of species, including avian communities, currently experiencing a precipitous population decline — a dangerous precedent in the midst of Earth’s sixth mass extinction.</p>
<p>The state organism is continually exalted by those in positions of power as the only legitimate mechanism of social organization. We are told only the state can ensure peace and sustainability in an increasingly complex and ever fragile world. But given the role of the nation-state in the world, as an economic and military power, it is time to acknowledge the organism is a global threat to peace, security, liberty and the environment.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In un suo recente intervento al <a href="http://www.un.org/climatechange/summit/" target="_blank">vertice sul clima delle Nazioni Unite</a>, Barack Obama ha spronato le nazioni della terra a collaborare per affrontare il problema dei cambiamenti climatici antropogenici. Obama ha rassicurato i politici presenti che gli “Stati Uniti d’America si stanno dando una mossa” e che noi (collettivamente) “ci assumiamo la responsabilità” di combattere i cambiamenti climatici. È curioso notare che, mentre il premio nobel per la pace parlava, cadevano bombe con l’insegna USA in Afganistan, Iraq, Siria, Yemen, Pakistan e Somalia.</p>
<p>La guerra non è compatibile con la sostenibilità. Per affrontare seriamente il cambiamento antropogenico occorre la pace.</p>
<p>Gli Stati Uniti sono in uno stato di guerra permanente. Il <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/25/world/middleeast/obama-syria-un-isis.html" target="_blank">nuovo attacco</a> dell’amministrazione Obama contro Isis ne è una prova ulteriore. Nessuna novità. Appena un anno fa alti rappresentanti dell’amministrazione dicevano al senato che esiste un “ampio consenso” sulla necessità di estendere le operazioni militari in Medio Oriente. Un altro decennio di guerra, forse due, in “forma illimitata”. E a quel punto gli Stati Uniti sarebbero a metà strada nella guerra al terrore globale. Così si diceva prima che l’Isis diventasse argomento da salotto.</p>
<p>Questo stato di guerra è responsabile del massacro di innocenti, dell’inasprimento del terrore e della distruzione; e tutto mentre si propaganda l’azione sul clima. Una cosa è certa: sul clima lo stato non sta andando a “battere un colpo”.</p>
<p>Il dipartimento americano della difesa è da solo il più grande consumatore nazionale di combustibili fossili. Dalla produzione di armi alle grandi macchine da guerra, le forze armate emettono più gas serra <a href="http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/3181:the-military-assault-on-global-climate" target="_blank">di ogni altra istituzione</a>. Aggiungeteci la distruzione dell’ecosistema naturale portata dalla guerra. Gli attuali interventi hanno danneggiato il patrimonio forestale e lagunare in tutto il Medio Oriente. Secondo <a href="http://costsofwar.org/article/environmental-costs" target="_blank">CostOfWar.org</a>, l’Afganistan ha perso il 38% delle aree boschive a causa del taglio illegale. Questa deforestazione è legata ai signori della guerra che salgono al potere sulle ceneri delle campagne militari che continuano a destabilizzare la regione. Questo saccheggio elimina quei benefici che l’ecosistema dà alle popolazioni del luogo, generando scarsità di risorse che a sua volta fa nascere ulteriori conflitti e violenze. La riduzione della superficie boschiva, inoltre, restringe l’habitat di un gran numero di specie, compresi i volatili che attualmente subiscono un forte declino; un precedente pericoloso nel mezzo della <a href="http://c4ss.org/content/27805" target="_blank">sesta estinzione di massa</a>.</p>
<p>Chi sta al potere esalta continuamente lo stato come unico sistema in grado di organizzare legittimamente la società. Ci dicono che solo lo stato può assicurare pace e sostenibilità in un mondo sempre più complesso e fragile. Dato il ruolo dello stato nazione come forza economica e militare, è ormai tempo di riconoscere la sua natura di <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2006/jun/15/usa.iran" target="_blank">minaccia mondiale alla pace</a>, la sicurezza, la libertà e l’ambiente.</p>
<p>Lo stato non è in grado di agire sul clima. Lo stato nazione funziona come un essere razionale, mira al proprio interesse. Cerca di espandere il proprio potere, per lo più sfruttando le risorse naturali. Esiste un conflitto di interessi all’interno di uno stato: quello che ha più territorio è anche quello che ha più risorse disponibili al consumo. Ecco perché la guerra (che sia militare o economica) rappresenta il benessere dello stato: perché garantisce il monopolio su un territorio, e dunque sulle sue risorse.</p>
<p>Tutto questo mentre da 300 a 400 mila persone <a href="http://peoplesclimate.org/" target="_blank">marciavano</a> davanti alle Nazioni Unite e in tutto il mondo per chiedere protezione per l’ambiente. Il progresso inizia per strada, ma un vero cambiamento si può avere solo con con un’attività ambientalista quotidiana <a href="http://c4ss.org/content/28685" target="_blank">a livello di vicinato</a>. Questo potere sociale può rendere inservibile lo stato con tutta la sua autorità illegittima. Non limitatevi a darvi una mossa. Marciate sulle ceneri del potere.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In recent comments at the <a title="United Nations Climate Summit" href="http://www.un.org/climatechange/summit/">United Nations Climate Summit</a>, US president Barack Obama espoused an urgent need for all the nations of Earth to work together and engage anthropogenic climate change. Obama <a title="President Obama: &quot;No Nation Is Immune&quot; to Climate Change" href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2014/09/23/president-obama-no-nation-immune-climate-change">ensured his peers in attendance</a> that the &#8220;United States of America is stepping up to the plate&#8221; and that (the collective) we &#8220;embrace our responsibility&#8221; to combat climate change. Curiously, though, as the Nobel Peace Prize winner spoke, bombs bearing the USA&#8217;s insignia fell on Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan and Somalia.</p>
<p>War is incompatible with sustainability. Serious engagement of anthropogenic change demands peace.</p>
<p>The United States is a permanent wartime state. The Obama administration&#8217;s <a title="In U.N. Speech, Obama Vows to Fight ISIS ‘Network of Death’" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/25/world/middleeast/obama-syria-un-isis.html">new military engagement</a> with ISIS is yet another testament to the fact. This should be no surprise. Just over a year ago senior administration officials <a title="Washington gets explicit: its 'war on terror' is permanent" href="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/may/17/endless-war-on-terror-obama">told the US Senate</a> there exists a &#8220;broad consensus&#8221; that military operations in the Middle East are to be extended, in their &#8220;limitless form,&#8221; for at least another decade, possibly two, before adding the United States has reached only the midpoint in its global war on terror.  This was before ISIS became a topic of dinner table discussion.</p>
<p>This wartime state is responsible for the mass slaughter of innocents, exacerbation of global terror and property destruction &#8212; all while advancing anthropogenic climate change. Rest assured, the state will not be &#8220;going to bat&#8221; on climate.</p>
<p>The US Department of Defense is the nation&#8217;s single largest consumer of fossil fuels. From arms production to the grand machines of war, the military emits more greenhouse gas <a title="The Military Assault on Global Climate" href="http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/3181:the-military-assault-on-global-climate">than any other state institution</a>. War also wrecks natural ecosystems. Ongoing interventions have damaged forests and wetlands across the Middle East. According to <a title="Environmental Costs" href="http://costsofwar.org/article/environmental-costs">CostOfWar.org</a>, Afghanistan has lost 38% of total forested area to illegal logging. This deforestation is associated with warlords who rise to power from the ashes of military campaigns that continually destabilize the region. This plunder eliminates beneficial ecosystem services to surrounding populations and gives rise to further conflict and violence as people are left with depleted resources. Forest loss also reduces the amount of available habitat for a number of species, including avian communities, currently experiencing a precipitous population decline &#8212; a dangerous precedent in the midst of <a title="Earth's sixth mass extinction" href="http://c4ss.org/content/27805">Earth&#8217;s sixth mass extinction</a>.</p>
<p>The state organism is continually exalted by those in positions of power as the only legitimate mechanism of social organization. We are told only the state can ensure peace and sustainability in an increasingly complex and ever fragile world. But given the role of the nation-state in the world, as an economic and military power, it is time to acknowledge the organism is a <a title="US - Global Threat to Peace" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2006/jun/15/usa.iran" target="_blank">global threat to peace</a>, security, liberty and the environment.</p>
<p>States will not act on climate. Nation-states work as rational actors, advancing their own self interests. They seek the expansion their power, largely through the exploitation of natural resources. There is an inherent conflict of interest among states: The state with the most territory has the most resources for consumption. This is why war (be it military or economic) is the health of the state &#8212; it provides a monopoly over a territory and thus resources.</p>
<p>All of this, as 300 to 400 thousand people <a title="Peoples Climate March" href="http://peoplesclimate.org/">marched outside</a> of the United Nations, and around the globe, to urge environmental protection. Progress starts in the streets, but true change requires everyday <a title="Neighborhood Environmentalism" href="http://c4ss.org/content/28685">neighborhood environmentalism</a>. Social power can render the state, and all of its illegitimate authority, useless. Don&#8217;t just step up to the plate. Stand on the ashes of power.</p>
