[*]
É impossível deter as alterações climáticas,
um fenómeno natural que tem afectado a humanidade através dos
tempos. Os testemunhos históricos, geológicos,
arqueológicos, orais e escritos provam todos os desafios fundamentais
que as sociedades antigas tiveram de enfrentar perante alterações
imprevistas de temperatura, de precipitação, de vento e de outras
variáveis climáticas. Devemos consequentemente preparar as
nações para resistir a todos estes fenómenos naturais
promovendo o crescimento económico e a criação de riqueza.
A conferência sobre o clima de Bali foi destinada a conduzir o Mundo pelo
caminho de uma restrição severa de CO2, ignorando as
lições evidentes que se podem tirar do malogro do Protocolo de
Quioto, o caos no mercado de transferências de CO2 estabelecido pela
Europa e a ineficácia de outras iniciativas dispendiosas destinadas a
reduzir as emissões de gases com efeito de estufa. Análises
custo-benefício objectivas desacreditam a introdução de
medidas globais destinadas a limitar e a reduzir o consumo de energia para
reduzir as emissões de CO2. Além disso, é irracional
aplicar o "princípio da precaução" porque
numerosos cientistas reconhecem que um arrefecimento ou um aquecimento
são ambos procedentes e realistas para o clima a médio prazo.
