The drought and the floods will generate serious social conflicts: GB
México. – The document that the organization presents by eighth occasion, studied the trends of 7 thousand 953 populations of 2 thousand 544 kinds of mammals, fowl, reptile, amphibious and fish. In addition to that were analyzed the tropical and temperate zones, ecosystems land, marine and of freshwater. Explain that the ecological track analyzes demand humanizes about the ecosystems, something which for Mexico equals to three global hectares by person.

With the current consumption rate, in 20 years the inhabitants of Mexico would require two times the natural resources that exist in national territory, indicates the World Fund for the nature (WWF), in the report live planet, divulged yesterday (October. 13, 10) and in the one which is made a relationship between the human development index and the ecological track.

"If each citizen in the world lived as a Mexican, we would need 1.6 planets. If each citizen lived as American we would need 43.44 planets. If each citizen lived as a Cuban, we would not need extra planet". The document refers us that the rich nations "should find forms of living without pressing so much to the Earth, to reduce considerably its footprint. This is especially they concern you in relationship to their dependency of the fossil fuels".

He warns that the global ecological track shows that "we have duplicated our demands about the natural world from the years 60 of the past century. Concretely, 50 percent and is needed a year and middle so that the land regenerate the resources used in 2007 and absorb the issued carbon dioxide. Add that the emerging economies of rapid growth also they should find a new model that they permit to follow handling the welfare of their citizen in a way that the planet could be actually to support.

Effects of the global warming
If the Mexican government does not act soon in the mitigation and adjustment by the global warming, in the near future will face serious problems of safety and social instability, generated by the shortage, the drought, the floods and the migrant waves by climatic reasons. Tobias Feakin explained the results of the study "The climatic impacts related to the national safety in Mexico and Central America". Feakin of the safety department and resiliency national of the Royal United Services Institute, warns in the encounter with the media in the British embassy, that the climatic change does not has because general necessarily serious problems, provided that the governments act rapid and redefine its national safety concept to be concentrated in the topic of the social and political stability.

In the case of Mexico, the authors of the study identified four important challenges: the competition by the natural resources; the greater frequency and power of climatologically events destruction as hurricanes; the exacerbation of migrant movements generated by causes related to the environment; and the greater presence and capacity of groups of the organized crime. On account of the diminished resiliency of the ecosystems in the country, understood as the capacity of be overlapped to limit situations, the access to the water will be perhaps one of the most delicate points in the future.

It is probable, those are produced important droughts in the north of Mexico, that impact of very negative way in the agricultural activities, and generate a phenomenon of increase of prices and massive migration southward, something which can generate serious tensions. In some Central America regions already there are very clear signs of the form in which the global warming affects the access to the water, but also increases the power of the dealers’ bands of beings human, that control regions in which the governments can not enter case of the fact that there is some natural catastrophe. As compared to this stage, is recommended to have an approach integrate in the development of the national safety policies, putting emphasis on to the mitigation and adjustment in the most vulnerable zones to the global warming.

The global warming "will not create new problems, but is going to aggravate those which already exist. In Mexico there will not be a total anarchy panorama, but conflicts focalize, therefore it is important not to fall in panic, but to know how and what should make with realistic and careful projections". Concludes Feakin. (La Jornada, Sociedad y Justicia, p. 42, 14 de Octubre, 2010)
