Deception would be a less violent term to characterize the sessions of the recent international conference on climate change held in Cancun, Mexico where the planet´s environment is still a serious problem.
The battle to come will become much more intense among those that are truly interested in a clean and prosperous world and those that are blind to the problem do not think that the destruction of nature will not penetrate their security box, mansions and armored limousines.
That is what we are dealing with, the confrontation between those that want to save our species and the interests of our worst enemies.
The battle began full force in the 1990´s, specifically in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with the first summit on climate change and where the leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro predicted the environmental crisis that was already underway.
He also warned on the urgent need to protect our environment for the good of humanity, position in which Cuba has reiterated since then with profound conviction.
Former US President George Bush Senior was one of the few Heads of State that did not sign the agreement for the reduction of contaminating gases.
What really interferes in the agreement in favor of improving global environment is imperialism´s uncontrolled desire for richness at all cost, mistake which seems to estimate that when there is a lack of uncontaminated air or a rise of the sea level, the rich will live in glass tents and will remain immune to world tragedies.
As in many other cases, capitalism proves that it is not interested in the large global ecological concerns; the stubborn defense of the monopolies and transnational that damage nature and their destructive nature.
Bolivian President Evo Morales said in the Cancun Summit, in what Cuba defined as a valid exponent and authorized, due to their ethnic origins, in defending and protecting nature; capitalism is an ecological criminal.
This is translated as genocide because killing human habitat is the same as assassinating the plant in which we live in.
The failure of the Cancun summit should not be interpreted as a sign of defeat or impotence, on the contrary. It points out who are the true enemies of humanity and civilization and meanwhile, those that love our planet and all manifestations of life and well being will continue their fight to save our home.
