Three years ecologist Vitishko

February 18, 2014 Julia Latynina

The Krasnodar Regional Court also decided to participate in the Olympiad in the nomination “Small -worship” and immediately received a prize, by planting the Sochi ecologist Evgeny Vitishko for three years for the fact that he wrote “Sanya - Thief” and “This is our forest” on the fence of the Governor of the Krasnodar Territory Tkachev. Even the International Olympic Committee - to which a corrupted and conformist organization - was surprised at such an addition in the Olympic program and demanded a proceedings.

The most amazing thing is that by its decision the court, of course, confirmed that everything written by Vitishko, is true, because if it was a fence of a draw of a draw of a dacha, and even more so if the fence was not at all, then what is the relationship of the inscription “Sanya - the thief” has to Tkachev?

Your humble servant usually does not like ecologists and considers their absolute majority as ideological crooks, bravely mastering money to combat global warming. My main claim is due to the fact that the world has a lot of environmental problems, but all these problems are local, and that the Pharisees from ecology, as a rule, replace the struggle against the local real problem of the global development of grandmas to fight the end of the world. Separate amazing comrades, as a “fearless hero” of Wang from piled China, even manage to bravely against ... pollution of a large barrier reef in Australia.

So: Vitishko belongs to that small breed of ecologists who do exactly what to do: fight with local problems. And, in fact, the example of Vitishko, who has been sitting for three years, shows why there are few such people. Because the fight against a local problem always means a struggle against a serious group of interests. This is not for you to master global warming.

The most amazing thing is that Yevgeny Vitishko and his comrades really defend the strategic interests of Sochi. Because what's the strategic interest of Sochi? In order to be a resort. What do Vitishko and his comrades say? Guys, this is a tiny strip of earth with a unique microclimate and unique forests. You will not have any resort on this tiny strip if all of it is blocked by bosses. There is no such resort in the world so that people could not go along the coast, broken into squares with barbed wire and machine gunners. And the second - if you are thoughtlessly chopping forests simply because it is so easier for a migrant worker, there will be no unique microclimate.

The climate of Krasnaya Polyana seems to have changed, and it has changed precisely as a result of the Olympics - as a result of broken tunnels and barbarously cut down forests. Warm air from the sea now freely enters the Red Polyana, and as a result, this and last year there is significantly warmer than three to four years ago. What is the international resort? What is the strategy? It was at the Olympics that snow was bought in Israel, but who will go to the mountains without snow in the future?

Sochi is a great example of a general rule: human impact on nature is very strong, but always local.

I have already given an example with Mount Kilimanjaro. At the top of Kilimanjaro, glaciers are melting, despite the fact that the temperature on the top of the mountain does not change: it does not warm and does not cold. Why are they melting? Because vegetation is cut down on the slopes, and it becomes land.

Kilimanjaro is not the only example. Here you are. The capital of the Aztecs Tenochtitlan was located on the island in the middle of the high -mountain Lake Teskoko, on which, in fact, most of the food for the capital was grown. Now on the site of Tenochtitlane is the table of Mexico Mexico City. But there is no lake. Instead, there were salty swamps to the east of the capital and several tiny lakes: Excochimilko, Chalko and Zumango. The huge lake disappeared-and this did not happen due to global climate change, but because of the illiterate water management of Europeans.

In South Africa, in Botswan there is a Delta of the Okavango River. This is one of the largest vast pools in the world. The Okavango River does not reach the sea, but spreads along the plain with evaporating swamps and ducts. At the moment, an environmental disaster is taking place there: the delta is salted, many places turn into barren salt bald spots and a desert. But this does not happen due to global climate change, but due to livestock reassignment. Botswana is one of the poorest countries in the world, with monstrous demographic pressure, and its population is excitedly occupied by the same “organic management”, without any technologies and fertilizers, which is so expensive for ecofundmentalists and which, in conditions of overpopulation, is super -destructive for all natural environmental systems.

Here is another example: Haiti island. An ecological disaster occurs on the island of Haiti. The total deletion of the slopes leads after pouring rains to landslides, in which hundreds of people die. The reason for this environmental disaster, however, is not global warming and not damned progress, but exactly the contrary - monstrous demographic pressure in the absence of technological progress. There are not enough terrible power plants that are ejecting into the atmosphere of CO2 in Haiti, and the population to cook food was cut down by all forests. In the neighboring dominic, on the same island where the damned progress is present and where the dictator Trujillo guarded nature with an iron hand, demolishing the dachas of his own close associates, built in the reserves, there are no landslides. Putin - unfortunately - not Truchillo.

It is easy to notice that everything that happens in Sochi is happening on the model of third world countries. According to the Delta of the Okavango River, Lake Teskoko and Haiti. This is barbaric deforestation and the construction of high -ranking fences. It is against this that the Sochi ecologists protest, who do a great, necessary and very dangerous work.

Not always cutting forests, even relics, is bad-because people need to live somewhere. But if the main strategic hope of the region is a resort with unique nature and microclimate, then, of course, there should not be any cutting down relic forests on the way to bossal dachas themselves, as well as the bossy summer cottages themselves.
