Environnement ! « Il n'y a qu'une solution : décroître très fortement » !

Salut à tous,

Du site Usbek & Rica :  Plus on creuse les questions environnementales, plus on réalise que l'ampleur de la catastrophe est pire qu'on ne l'imaginait. Et que les solutions sont elles aussi plus exigeantes et radicales que prévu.   

   ¨ Longtemps, j'ai cru que l'on pourrait changer le capitalisme. Car il nous a permis d'allonger l'espérance de vie, a été accompagné par une longue période de paix, a réduit fortement la pauvreté, la pénibilité, a révolutionné l'éducation, la culture, la recherche scientifique... La liste est longue.

   Il se trouve que j’ai eu la chance de travailler dans une grande banque, ce qui m’a permis de comprendre les tenants et les aboutissants des mécanismes du capitalisme et de la création de valeur : le cœur du fonctionnement réel de notre système contemporain.
 
J’ai toujours été attirée par ce qui est transversal, raison primaire qui m’a conduite vers la finance, et j’ai, dans le même temps, toujours été sensible à l’environnement.

De déceptions en déceptions !
   Cela faisait des années que je me disais qu’il fallait changer de vision de la performance : tant pour les indicateurs nationaux comme le PIB, que pour les entreprises : taxer le capital naturel et non pas le capital humain, intégrer la notion d’émissions de CO2 dans le calcul de l’impôt sur les sociétés, corréler les exigences de fonds propres des banques à leur intensité carbone, créer des impôts intégrant la notion d’utilité marginale, rendre les tarifs de l’énergie progressifs, eux aussi en rapport avec l’utilité marginale, etc.

 Il m’a vraiment fallu du temps pour accepter que la croissance « verte » ne peut exister !
   Je voyais bien et je sentais bien, au plus profond de moi, que, malgré tout ce qu’on me racontait — la croissance « verte », les énergies « renouvelables », etc. — les chiffres et la réalité parlaient et infirmaient, constamment, de façon écrasante, lesdites stratégies « vertes », les emissions de CO2 continuant d’augmenter, l'exploitation des ressources explosant littéralement, enfin, la sixième extinction de masse poursuivant son achèvement.
 
    Il m’a vraiment fallu du temps pour accepter que la croissance « verte » ne peut exister et qu’il s’agit même d’un contresens, que cela n’est pas seulement une question d’énergies « renouvelables », de changer d’indicateurs économiques, de consommer mieux, etc., mais que la croissance est bien la cause de ces contraintes physiques extrêmement fortes et de cette temporalité infiniment restreinte et que l’analytique, ou simplement changer ou corriger le capitalisme, n’y suffiraient pas.

Décroître, très fortement |
   Cela signifiait qu’il n’y a qu’une seule solution : décroître et ce, très fortement. Et que nous avons beaucoup moins besoin d’argent que de sobriété. Cela ne doit pas être trop compliqué, compte tenu du niveau de gaspillage de nos sociétés occidentales.

    Malheureusement, rien dans le système que nous avons bâti ne permet cela. Notre système repose sur la croissance. Logique, puisque nous sommes une espèce pandémique : nous nous reproduisons et nous accroissons naturellement. La croissance y paraît donc absolument normale…¨...

Statement from Blue Ridge Parkway on the Resumption of Winter Operations

With the enactment of the continuing resolution, staff along the Blue Ridge Parkway resumed regular winter operations beginning Monday, January 28, 2019. The National Park Service reminds visitors to remain patient as Parkway staff begin to assess road conditions on the sections of Parkway that remain closed due to debris and winter weather conditions.

“Employees along the entire Blue Ridge Parkway are glad to be back at work,” said Superintendent J.D. Lee. “We are so grateful to the committed Parkway staff, partners and neighbors that supported the Parkway during the lapse in appropriations. We had several weather events before and during the lapse that will continue to impact Parkway travel in the coming days and weeks. We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation as we prioritize work to provide access to this special resource.”

In response to ever changing road conditions, the National Park Service maintains an online tool that allows visitors to monitor openings and closings along the historic, 469-mile route using an interactive, real time road map. The map allows visitors to zoom in on specific sections of the Parkway, provides current road closure information, and serves as an essential Parkway planning tool for park visitors, especially in the winter.

Winter weather can impact the Parkway for extended periods given a number of variables including the route’s north facing slopes, tunnels, high elevations, and limited sight distances. Limited snow and ice removal may take place, however the Parkway’s natural resource protection priorities limit the use of ice melting chemicals. Park rangers monitor conditions in affected areas and open the road as soon as safe travel can resume.

For more information about winter operations on the Parkway and to access a park road closure map please visit www.nps.gov/blri/planyourvisit/roadclosures.htm

Smokies Resumes Full Operations

With the enactment of the continuing resolution, staff at Great Smoky Mountains National Park resumed regular operations beginning Saturday, January 26. Many basic services were accessible to visitors on weekends and holiday periods throughout the shutdown period using a combination of partner funds and revenue generated by recreation fees. Park visitor centers are now accessible seven days a week and reservation services for the frontcountry and backcountry are fully operational.

Visitors may experience delayed openings this spring at some park campgrounds, picnic areas, and seasonal roads due to a reduced timeline for seasonal staff hiring and project planning. An updated park operating schedule will be posted on www.nps.gov/grsm as soon it is available.

“On behalf of the employees of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our partners and communities for their unwavering support over the last five weeks,” said Park Superintendent Cassius Cash. “In addition to the monetary support offered by our partners to provide basic visitor services, we were moved by the number of people and organizations who stepped up to organize litter pickups and the outpouring of generosity expressed to our employees through meals and gift cards.”

All park staff, including biologists, engineers, education rangers, and administrators have resumed work functions critical for year-round park operations. Employees are glad to be back at work protecting resources and assisting visitors in having a safe and enjoyable experience. If you are interested in helping take care of the park, please visit www.nps.gov/grsm/getinvolved/volunteer.htm for more information on how to become a volunteer.

Statement on reopening of national parks following the lapse of appropriations

Statement on reopening of national parks following the lapse of appropriations, attributable to P. Daniel Smith, Deputy Director, National Park Service:

Following the enactment of the continuing resolution, the National Park Service is preparing to resume regular operations nationwide though the schedule for individual parks may vary depending on staff size and complexity of operations.

Many parks which have been accessible throughout the lapse in appropriations remain accessible with basic services.

Visitors should contact individual parks or visit park websites for their opening schedules and the latest information on accessibility and visitor services. Some parks which have been closed throughout the lapse in appropriations may not reopen immediately, but we will work to open all parks as quickly as possible.

We appreciate the support of state and local partners nationwide who stepped up to offer support to national parks. We are grateful to have the dedicated men and women of the National Park Service back at work, serving the American people and welcoming visitors to their national parks.

Appalachian Trail Conservancy Brings Greater Focus to Importance of Wild East Coast Landscapes

The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) is inviting nature lovers everywhere to celebrate the beauty and importance of eastern United States landscapes with the launch of “Wild East,” an initiative bringing greater attention to the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) and the lands surrounding its 2,192-mile length from Maine to Georgia.

Wild East highlights the wildlife, forests, night skies and other natural wonders found along the Trail, as well as the welcoming communities, recreation opportunities and cultural history that have made the A.T. a world-renowned destination, all of which is within a day’s drive for 55 percent of Americans. The initiative also brings greater focus to the threats to the Trail and its surrounding ecology including urban sprawl, poorly-planned infrastructure projects and the impacts of climate change.

"Through Wild East, we will show how the Appalachian Trail is the link that ties together the most impressive views on the East Coast and creates a vital pathway for migratory birds and wildlife,” said ATC President and CEO Suzanne Dixon. "Our ultimate goal is to show how vital the A.T. is for the eastern United States, leading more and more people to join the Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s mission to preserve the A.T. and the remaining open spaces surrounding it as a natural retreat for all of us to enjoy.”

In collaboration with artist and astronomer Dr. Tyler Nordgren, the ATC has commissioned an eye-catching poster to celebrate the launch of Wild East. The poster speaks to the legacy of the Trail as an American adventure while also bringing attention to landscapes, animals and communities that embody the A.T. experience. The poster will be available to those who become members of the ATC or make a donation to its mission to maintain and protect the Trail.

For more information about Wild East and to get involved today, visit wildeast.org.

La petite histoire de la pomme de terre !

Salut à tous,

Du site France Culture : C'est l'un des légumes les plus connus au monde et pourtant la pomme de terre est relativement récente dans l'histoire de l'alimentation. Consommée par les humains depuis 10 000 ans, il a fallu attendre le XVIe siècle pour que les Européens découvrent son existence.     

   ¸  La patate que l'on retrouve dans nos assiettes commence à accuser un certain âge : on la consomme ainsi depuis le néolithique. Et cela fait maintenant 8 000 ans que l'être humain la cultive, depuis les civilisations pré-colombiennes, au cœur de la cordillère des Andes. En Europe, il nous faut attendre le XVIe siècle pour en découvrir l'existence... et deux siècles de plus avant d'envisager de consommer ce tubercule à la mauvaise réputation. Petite histoire de la pomme de terre, alors que l'exposition Patate ! de la Cité des sciences se propose de retracer le destin exceptionnel de ce tubercule hors normes.

 La pomme de terre thérapeutique !
    C'est des Andes que provient la pomme de terre, à cheval entre ce qui est maintenant le Chili, la Bolivie et le Pérou. Le spécimen le plus ancien connu, la Solanum maglia, vieux de 13 000 ans avant J.-C., a été découvert sur le site archéologique de Monte Verde, au sud du Chili.
 
   Il faut attendre l'arrivée des conquistadors et de leurs sanglantes conquêtes pour que la pomme de terre quitte l'Amérique. Les premières descriptions de pommes de terre datent des années 1530. Le conquistador espagnol Pedro de Cieza de León la détaille sous le nom de "papa", dans ses Crónicas del Perú et raconte comment les populations locales la font sécher au soleil et que la tubercule, ou turma de tierra (pour truffe de terre), une fois sec, est nommée "chuno".

Superstitions et pomme de terre !

Il faut attendre le milieu du XVIIe siècle pour que la pomme de terre soit consommée. Mais avant d'être acceptée comme un aliment digne de ce nom, elle a surtout pour principale utilité d'endiguer les famines.   

La pomme de terre, ou le "pain des pauvres" ! 

 En France, c'est Antoine Parmentier, le précurseur de la chimie alimentaire, qui va donner à la patate ses lettres de noblesse. Fait prisonnier au cours de la Guerre de Sept Ans, il est contraint de se nourrir de pommes de terre au cours de sa captivité et découvre qu'il n'en est pas incommodé, comme il l'écrit en 1773 dans Examen chymique de la pomme de terre :

<< Nos soldats ont considérablement mangé de pommes de terre dans la dernière guerre ; ils en ont même fait excès, sans avoir été incommodés ; elles ont été ma seule ressource pendant plus de quinze jours et je n’en fus ni fatigué, ni indisposé>>¨...

Friends of the Smokies, Great Smoky Mountains Association to Reopen Park Visitor Centers for MLK Jr. Weekend

Friends of the Smokies announced Friday that it will temporarily fund the reopening of Sugarlands Visitor Center near Gatlinburg, Tenn., and Oconaluftee Visitor Center near Cherokee, N.C., from Friday through Monday, Jan. 18-21.

Visitation to the park is expected to increase during these dates due to the Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday. Both visitor centers will be open Friday from 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Following the closure Monday evening, the two visitor centers will again close until federal funding is restored and the park fully reopens.

“We are proud to commit funding for the visitor centers and restrooms to reopen during the holiday weekend in order for rangers to provide a safe and enjoyable visitor experience,” Friends of the Smokies Executive Director Tim Chandler said. “Any opportunity to work with our partners to preserve and protect America’s most-visited national park is a welcome one, and Friends of the Smokies stands at the ready to provide further support.”

Friends of the Smokies will provide funds for park rangers in the Resource Education division to reopen the visitor centers and provide information services to park visitors. Additional funds from Friends of the Smokies will be used for park employees to clean, reopen and maintain the restroom facilities at these two locations during the temporary opening. Employees of Great Smoky Mountains Association will staff park stores at both locations. All GSMA sales support Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

“We are incredibly grateful for Friends’ contribution,” Laurel Rematore, Chief Executive Officer of Great Smoky Mountains Association, added. “We appreciate every chance we have to help park visitors learn more about this park’s resources through sales of our ranger-approved merchandise.”

At the direction of the National Park Service last week, revenue generated by recreation fees is currently being used to clean and maintain restrooms at Newfound Gap, Cable Mill in Cades Cove, Smokemont Campground and Deep Creek Picnic Area. This federal funding also allowed the reopening of Cades Cove Campground and Picnic Area, including restrooms, and maintenance of Little River Road between Metcalf Bottoms Picnic Area and the Townsend Wye and Foothills Parkway East. The visitor center at Cable Mill in Cades Cove is currently open 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. using this federal funding with staffing provided by GSMA.

Mysterious Vanishings in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

The following is a guest blog from the Eco Bear Biohazard Cleaning Company:


The Great Smoky Mountains is the most visited national park in the United States. It greets more than 10 million visitors annually. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park consists of over 522,000 acres, and sits along the state line between Tennessee and North Carolina. Although the vast majority of visitors to the park have idyllic stays on the property, every once in a while something goes amiss. On this list of strange occurrences in the park are the disappearances of four people that have yet to be solved.

The Disappearance of Dennis Martin: Was a Wild Mountain Man Involved?

Dennis Martin was a six year old child who was enjoying the park with his family on June 14, 1969. While at the park, Dennis played a game of hide and seek with his brother and other children. During the game, Dennis seemed to disappear.

His family spent a few hours attempting to find him themselves. After that time, they notified the National Park Service. Ultimately, not only the Park Service, but the National Guard became involved in the search for Dennis. All told more than 1,400 people assisted in trying to locate the missing boy.

A trio of theories has persisted in regard to the missing child. First, some people maintain that the boy became lost and died of exposure or some other cause shortly after he went missing.

A second theory is that the child was attacked by a bear or even a feral pig.

The boy’s father espouses a third theory - that his son was abducted. This theory stems from a report by another park tourist named Harold Key, made three days after Dennis vanished. Key reported that he heard what he described as an “enormous, sickening scream.” Not long after hearing the scream, Key witnessed a man carrying something over his shoulder. Key wasn’t able to state without reservation that the man was carrying a child, but that was his impression.

Sometime before Dennis disappeared, a park ranger was attacked by what was described as a “wild mountain man.” There were individuals described as wild men living in the park at the time Dennis disappeared. The FBI has never been able to absolutely confirm that this is what happened to Dennis. Investigators indicate that there is insufficient evidence to support this theory, but they nonetheless have not ruled it out.

A few years later, another visitor evidently came upon the scattered skeletal remains of a child. He did not report what he saw for about 15 years for fear of being prosecuted. A search in 1985 revealed nothing and no charges were ever brought against the man that reported the finding of the skeletal remains.

Trenny Gibson and a School Trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

16-year old Trenny Gibson was on a school trip in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park when she disappeared on October 18, 1976. She was hiking with about 40 of her classmates at the time of her disappearance. The students broke up into smaller groups, depending on their hiking ability. Only one teacher and the bus driver were on site supervising all of the children. Trenny was last seen while hiking in an area that had sharp drop-offs down to an area with considerable underbrush.

There are two prevalent theories about what happened to Trenny. One of her classmates believed that Trenny disappeared of her own free will. This classmate was under the impression that Trenny made arrangements for someone to meet her in the park, and she planned to leave with that individual.

The second theory involves a classmate named Robert. Trenny’s hair comb was found in his car after she disappeared.

Robert and Trenny had something of a history. Robert had attempted to break into Trenny’s family home. Trenny’s mother shot the boy during the break-in attempt. After being shot, Robert is alleged to have said he would exact revenge on Trenny. The police evidently looked into this theory but concluded that there was a lack of evidence to support it.

Golden Years Brought to an End: The Disappearance of Polly Melton

Polly Melton and her husband were enjoying their Golden Years in an Airstream trailer. Together with 10 other couples, they stayed at Great Smoky Mountains National Park in September 1981.

One afternoon while in the park, Polly went for a hike with some of her friends. During the hike Polly started walking briskly and got ahead of her friends. She was never seen again.

An intensive investigation was undertaken in the park to try and find Polly. The efforts produced no results and no evidence of her whatsoever.

Several months later a check made payable to Polly was cashed. Upon examination, the check did appear to bear Polly’s authentic signature. Unfortunately, the bank teller who cashed the check had no recollection of what the person who presented it looked like.

Derek Leuking and the Note Not to Follow

The fourth unsolved vanishing in the park involved Derek Leuking, a man in his early twenties. Derek had visited the park alone on March 17, 2012. He had left his car in a parking lot, filled with all of his gear. He left a note on his windshield that read “Don’t try to follow me.” Despite the admonition not to be followed, a search was undertaken when Derek was reported missing.

In the fall of that year, for a brief moment, investigators thought they may have found Derek’s remains. In fact, another young man went missing around the same time as Derek. The remains were determined to be those of the other missing young man. No sign of Derek has yet been found since his disappearance in 2012.

Smokies to Restore Accessibility and Some Basic Visitor Services

Great Smoky Mountains National Park announced today that recently closed areas of the park will once again be accessible to visitors beginning yesterday, January 13. Some basic visitor services, including campgrounds and restrooms, will reopen using revenue generated by recreation fees.

Areas that have been recently closed but that will be accessible to park visitors in the near future include:

• Cades Cove Campground and Picnic Area, including restrooms
• Restrooms at the Smokemont Campground
• Restrooms at the Deep Creek Picnic Area
• Little River Road between Metcalf Bottoms Picnic Area and the Townsend Wye
• Foothills Parkway East

National Park Service officials have determined that by using Federal Land and Recreation Enhancement Act funds to immediately bring back park maintenance crews to maintain roads and some basic services, the park will be able to restore accessibility to the park for visitors while ensuring health and safety. Maintenance crews will reopen and maintain the restrooms listed above in addition to continuing to clean the restrooms that were temporarily reopened last week at Newfound Gap and the Cades Cove Visitor Center by the Friends of the Smokies. Most park facilities will remain closed including Sugarlands and Oconaluftee Visitor Centers. Great Smoky Mountains Association is donating services to reopen the Cades Cove Visitor Center near Cable Mill. Trash removal from dumpsters across the park will continue through a preexisting contract.

“We greatly appreciate the generous contributions of park partners who have provided funding to staff visitor centers over the holidays and keep bathrooms at Newfound Gap and Cable Mill open during the lapse in appropriations,” said Park Superintendent Cassius Cash. “Their efforts have contributed significantly to our ability to restore access and basic services to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.”

Roads and trails that are seasonally open will be maintained and remain accessible to visitors on a prioritized basis. Road crews will plow roads, remove downed trees, and clear small landslides along heavily used roadways including the Spur, Newfound Gap Road, Little River Road, and the Cades Cove Loop Road. These operational efforts will be performed with reduced staffing using revenues from recreation fees. Road closures due to weather events may result in significantly longer closures than normal, and some remote, lesser used roads may remain closed until a return of full staffing.

The park website will remain accessible, but it will not be updated with any current information. Park social media accounts will continue to be suspended during the shutdown period. Information and images from webcams, including the Newfound Gap webcam, will remain accessible at http://bit.ly/2VQkltH.

Que se passe-t-il dans la têtes des Français ?

Salut à tous,

Du site Slate.fr : Il est entendu que la France n’est pas un pays comme les autres. Pour le pire et le meilleur. Reste à savoir dans quelle catégorie ranger le mouvement des «gilets jaunes».  

   ¨ Vu de loin, ce qui se passe en France est sidérant ! 
     
   Tous les samedis, la France joue à se faire peur. Dans quelques villes de l’Hexagone, des excités de tout bord s’en prennent aux symboles de la République avec une sorte d’allégresse mortifère.

   D’autres font le coup de poing avec les forces de l’ordre au milieu de carcasses de voitures brûlées, parmi les exhalations des gaz lacrymogènes. Excédée d’être harcelée, la police perd son sang-froid et castagne des manifestants. À Paris, voilà qu’on défonce la porte d’un ministère quand on ne cherche pas à marcher sur l’Assemblée nationale ou l’Élysée.

   On course le journaliste, on s’imagine des complots à chaque nouvelle péripétie advenue, des illuminés sortis de nulle part se prennent pour le fantôme de Jaurès dans des conversations vidéo dignes des meilleures séquences des Marx Brothers et sur les réseaux sociaux, des personnes apparemment saines d’esprit, des bons pères de famille, des mères célibataires, des jeunes gens propres sur eux, en appellent tranquillement à la mort du président de la République.
On n’est plus sûr de rien.
