Lejos de debatir sobre un asunto, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogactionday.org\/\">en 2009 se nos propone \"apoyar\" una idea y unas conclusiones ya prefijadas: la existencia de un cambio clim\u00e1tico que \"es una amenaza de hambre, inundaciones, guerras y millones de refugiados\"<\/a>. En l\u00ednea con estas ideas, se pide a los blogueros \"expresar su apoyo en la b\u00fasqueda de soluciones sostenibles ante la crisis clim\u00e1tica\".

Eso s\u00ed, a los promotores de este certamen les sugiero una cosa: si quieren proponer militancias sobre conceptos concretos, <strong>propongan el a\u00f1o que viene un Blog Action Day en defensa de los derechos del individuo,<\/strong> que son pisoteados no s\u00f3lo en dictaduras sino tambi\u00e9n en muchos pa\u00edses que se dicen democr\u00e1ticos, y cuya defensa acarrea descalificaciones de todo tipo, incluso por parte de personas que presumen de moderadas, de plurales y de tolerantes. Eso s\u00ed que es una realidad inc\u00f3moda, y no <a href=\"http:\/\/aquiles.blogsome.com\/2007\/06\/15\/lo-que-esta-en-riesgo-no-es-el-clima-sino-la-libertad\/\">cierta propaganda ecocatastrofista que se usa, de hecho, para restringir no pocos de esos derechos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>-----------<\/p>\n<p>These last two years I took part in a world contest, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogactionday.org\/\">Blog Action Day<\/a>, which is done every October 15th and in that thousands of bloggers think about a certain topic. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/?p=1855\">In 2007 it was the environment<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/?p=3627\">in 2008 the poverty<\/a>. Far from debating on a matter, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogactionday.org\/\">in 2009 they propose to \"support\" an idea and a few already prearranged conclusions: the existence of a climatic change that \"it threatens to cause famine, flooding, war, and millions of refugees\"<\/a>. In line with these ideas, they ask the bloggers to \"expressing support for finding a sustainable solution to the climate crisis\". That is to say, neither reflections nor debates, but support and militancy in a few concrete theses.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the video of presentation of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogactionday.org\/\">Blog Action Day 2009<\/a>, which you can see above these lines, <strong>refers to climate change as \"the most urgent threat facing our planet\"<\/strong>. In this economic crisis resulting in millions of human beings to unemployment and poverty, with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elpais.com\/articulo\/sociedad\/numero\/hambrientos\/supera\/primera\/vez\/mil\/millones\/elpepusoc\/20090917elpepisoc_7\/Tes\">more than 1,000 million people hungry<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/?p=1903\">more than 1,500 million living in countries under dictatorships (23% of humanity)<\/a>, present climate catastrophism as the greatest and most urgent concern of humanity seems to me a joke.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, as I am concerned <strong>I will not participate in Blog Action Day 2009<\/strong>. So yes, I suggest one thing to the promoters of this event: if you want to propose militancy on specific concepts, <strong>propose next year a Blog Action Day to defend the rights of individuals<\/strong>, who are downtrodden not only in dictatorships but also in many countries that call themselves democratic, and whose defense leads to disqualification of all kinds, even by people who claim to moderate, pluralistic and tolerant of. That is really an uncomfortable reality, not <a href=\"http:\/\/aquiles.blogsome.com\/2007\/06\/15\/lo-que-esta-en-riesgo-no-es-el-clima-sino-la-libertad\/\">some propaganda ecocatastrophist used, in fact, to restrain more than a few of those rights<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Estos dos \u00faltimos a\u00f1os particip\u00e9 en un certamen mundial, el Blog Action Day, que se hace cada 15 de octubre y en el que miles de blogueros reflexionamos sobre un tema determinado.
