La Terre blessée, vue par Naomi Klein
Naomi Klein est fameuse depuis son ouvrage La stratégie du choc (Actes Sud, 2007). Dans ce livre, elle décortique la stratégie fondamentale du capitalisme ("le chaos créateur" ) depuis un demi-siècle.
Aujourd’hui, elle devient sous nos yeux une écologiste consciente, hors des groupes de pression répertoriés et apparus comme corrompus, avec un sens aigu de la dimension symbolique et sacrée de la destruction de l’environnement.
Klein donne un long article le 19 juin 2010 dans le Guardian sur la catastrophe du Golfe du Mexique après une longue visite sur place.
En même temps qu’elle règle son compte au "principe de précaution" de la science et des capitalistes eux-mêmes, les caricatures modernes des "capitaines d’industrie" d’il y a un siècle, - « In recent hearings on Capitol Hill, congressman Ed Markey of Massachusetts grilled representatives from the top oil and gas companies on the revealing ways in which they had allocated resources. Over three years, they had spent "$39bn to explore for new oil and gas. Yet, the average investment in research and development for safety, accident prevention and spill response was a paltry $20m a year" », - Klein présente la catastrophe selon cette dimension de la destruction de l’environnement et de la Terre elle-même dans sa perception la plus symbolique et la plus sacrée........

Cuba se prepare a l’arrivée de la marée (sous marine ?) noire :
Cuba braces to contend with BP oil spill
Havana calls in Venezuelan experts to combat potential environmental disaster as tarballs spotted off island’s coast
* guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 16 June 2010 17.37 BST
Cuba is steadying itself for an ecological and tourism crisis as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill appears to be heading towards its pristine northern coast.
Authorities are preparing coastal communities to respond to the first sign of black slicks and have brought in Venezuelan experts to advise on damage limitation.
Patches of oil were reportedly spotted 100 miles north-west of the island, prompting concern that gulf currents will add Cuba to the list of casualties from the April 20 Deepwater Horizon rig explosion.
Should oil reach Cuba it will be the latest twist to decades of toxic diplomatic relations between Havana and Washington.
"In Cuba, we have had small spills involving tankers on our coasts, but we’ve never had to confront anything of this magnitude," General Ramon Espinosa, vice-minister of the armed forces, told reporters at a government meeting on natural disaster preparedness.
"Nonetheless we are documenting and studying. We are preparing with everything in our power." It would be a disaster for Cuba if the spill hit, he added.
A relative lack of economic development has kept the north Cuban coast - just 90 miles from Florida - a haven for manatees, migratory sea turtles and sharks. White sand beaches are an important draw for tourists who provide an economic lifeline to the communist state.
Ramon Pardo, head of Cuban civil defence, said Havana was taking all precautions. "The preparation of the coast, vigilance, creating all necessary conditions, preparing the people who live on the coasts that could be impacted."
Officials said Cuba would rely on expertise from Venezuela, an ally that has long experience of offshore oil drilling and its environmental consequences, but that it was also willing to talk to the US. Analysts said "oil diplomacy" could gift Washington and Havana a rare chance to co-operate but details remain sketchy.
The BP spill may give Cubans pause over plans to develop northern offshore deposits estimated at 5bn barrels of oil and 10tn cubic feet of natural gas. The Spanish company Repsol YPF is due to drill exploration wells later this year or early in 2011.

La conscience et l’urgence
lundi 21 juin 2010
par Patrick Mignard
Il est urgent de changer les rapports sociaux, et de ce fait, notre comportement à l’égard de la Nature. Il ne s’agit plus d’une simple question d’éthique et de circonstance - quoique ça le demeure - mais désormais et essentiellement d’une question vitale.
La conscience de cette situation, de cet impératif, prend peu à peu forme. Une forme qui prend tous les virages des méandres de la pensée humaine et qui fait que le temps risque de nous manquer pour éviter une catastrophe finale.....
