Everyone is aware
that the risk you are talking about are real.
Hello everyone,
My name is Martin Bonis
I co-founded an ONG named Aventure Nomade
we are revaluating know-hows.
And a few times ago,
we, the co-founders,
we learned several bad news
concerning systemic crisis.
That's what I want to talk about to the minister
and the citizens.
There is a pile of crisis which are looming,
for exemple, M. Jancovici who is part of
High Climate Council
is talking about a peak oil for 2020.
Everything is fine, there's no solution
to replace petrol right now ...
 
There is a phosphate peak threatening french agriculture
because we destroyed everything in our soils
so we are doping in it with posphate.
A lot of things ...
for exemple, renewable energies are not renewable, it's a lie.
It is using limited ressources,
and those limited ressources
when we will have to make an energetic transition
it's going to be fun when we'll fight each other
for the four left pieces of metal to make windturbines ...
And so, what is looming is
is that, climate will be an aggravating factor
of this forced decline.
(because we are going to decline no matter what).
And, the climate is really concerning
it is just able to kill the majority of life on earth ...
But ! We have other issues as citizens right know,
aggravated by climate change,
tomorow, the services
we all have, and used to,
medicine, eating, having water etc ...
All of that is threatened in the coming years
it can be know, it can be tomorow.
If the supply chain breaks of transporation services,
because, I don't know if you know that but
your local supermarket,
if tomorow there's a petrol crisis or else,
they have 24 hours of stock.
What a good news !
And so, we (Aventure Nomade)
that what we developped like good hippies,
to promote know-hows,
(know-hows that no one give a damn
because industrial civilisation triumph)
... so this know-hows are the key of tomorow.
Because, you were talking about your children
Brune Poirson et François de Rugy,
and me too I have a little girl
And what I know, is that, if
tomorow I don't now how to make anything,
and that
I don't have access to food, shelter, warmth etc.
in a total disconfort
and I'm seeing my daugther deshydrating and dying ...
well, my neighbour who's bringing water to his home
I'll transform him into a kebab, I'll eat him, and feed my daughter
I'm really exagerating here, naturaly.
But, anyone in this position
will want to protect his family, wich is totally normal.
And, (i'm finishing quickly)
the only solution to all those crisis,
we are told that it is technological advances,
wich are total leap of faith, because we absolutely don't know
if it's going to happen at all.
So the solutions are these know-hows,
seeming to come from the depth of middle ages,
and what I want to put on the table is :
Are you ready for this crises to come
wich are not facts coming from clowns
trying to trick us, it is from experts and scientists
putting this on the table.
So, are you ready, Minister, to work with us,
Aventure Nomade and other NGO, to prepare people
 
for tomorow's crisis.
No matter, climatic, energetic, or other ressources
We are all concerned,
our children, and you directly.
You are going to live this.
- Ok.
Thanks for your intervention.
Of course we can answer you on a simple thing
it is that we are all aware
that the risks you are talking about are real.
They are real in France
no necesseraly in far away countries.
They are real in other countries, where it's already war
to access water, or because of desertification
someone refered to my monday trip to Niger
It is things we saw, and already tangible and real.
But, I answer you frankly, my political speech
cannot be "We can do nothing, in every case we will face disaster"
and
saying our logic is to survive.
I will continue to, and it can be a topic in this debate,
this lady was talking about recession,
me, no, I cannot face the french
and saying our program is to engage into recession.
Because
for a really simple reason
because you see
I was a deputy since 2007
so I known the financial crisis in 2008
the effects on the world economy
and in France.
We had several years
in several european countries, of recession or stagnation
and, this is true, we can watch the curves
the greenhouses emissions declined
during few years
But, is some transformations began
to allow sustainibly
sustainibly
to consume less fossil fuels
to have less waste ?
Absolutely not.
In the contrary, i will tell you,
let me say with the bit of hindsight I have
I often saw, that it is in this years that we said
you know, a presidend said "It's enough about environnement."
It is in this years that we are saying to ourselves
"We first rebuild the economy"
destroying more the environnement
"We focus on elementary social needs"
(and that can be logic), and the environnement will see later.
I believe that what matter today
is that we strongly engage in this transformation.
I'm not a growth addict, I don't sleep at night telling myself
tomorow I hope growth increased.
What I want is
that we initiate those transformations
the the world in wich we will live
in 5 years, in 10 years, in 20 years,
will be, at least as good, or even better.
I continue to say that the engine
of mankind is to believe in a better world.
It is not to announce disasters
and telling that we have to prepare to live with it
but to be purposeful in action.
