". There has been a spate of warnings throughout the world about climate change, for which responsibility undeniably rests with an economic system that does not respect the balance in the relationship between human beings and nature and in the activity that arises from that system. This is especially the case in the most developed countries, of which the United States stands out alone, responsible for 25% of gas emissions causing the greenhouse effect. Climate change is a consequence and an illustration of the unsustainable nature of the capitalist system of production, with its unchecked plundering of natural resources and its complete subservience to short-term gain, instead of investment in long-term planning that encompasses the preservation of the conditions needed for the human race to survive. The required response should not be guided by the laws of the system that gave rise to the problem. Setting up an emissions trading scheme enables the countries with the greatest financial power to continue to be the biggest polluters, thereby straitjacketing countries with weaker economies. More public investment is needed, into researching new and more efficient sources of non-polluting energy and into support for implementing those that already exist."@en1
