4 illum | Il-Ħadd 28 ta' Ġunju 2015 GĦALKEMM għal bosta t-tibdil fil-klima huwa suġġett tekniku fl-arja li ftit li xejn jinteressahom, fil-verità huwa xi ħaġa li tagħmel ħafna differenza fil-ħajja ta' kuljum taċ-ċittadin Malti. Fil-fatt l-effetti immedjati tal-bdil fil-klima jistgħu jkunu taħwid fit-temp li jekk wieħed jinnota diġà bdejna naraw, fosthom nixfa għal perjodu ta' żmien, maltempati qawwijin b'xita intensa ħafna. Dan qalu mal-ILLUM il- Ministru tal-Ambjent, Żvilupp Sostenibbli u Tibdil fil-Klima Leo Brincat ftit qabel jitlaq minn Malta dalgħodu għal New York fejn mistenni jattendi u jindirizza il-High Level Event dwar il-klima li se jiġi organizzat mill-President tal-Assemblea Ġenerali tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti. Dwar il-kawżi ta' dan it-taqlib Brincat fakkar li bla dubju ta' xejn it-traffiku u l-ilma huma fost l-aktar setturi fejn qed nintlaqtu u nistgħu nkomplu nintlaqtu fil-laħam il-ħaj mill-klima jekk ma nieħdux deċiżjonijiet iebsa u radikali aċċettati mis-soċjetà ċivili nnifisha. Il-Ministru Brincat qal li fil-każ tagħna t-traffiku huwa ta' problema akbar minn pajjiżi ġirien fil-Mediterran minħabba d-densità tal-popolazzjoni tagħna, iċ-ċokon ta' pajjiżna u l-għadd kbir ta' karozzi fit-triq per capita. Huwa qal li għalkemm ħafna jikkunslaw li l-karozzi moderni jniġġsu anqas u huma aktar effiċjenti, f 'bosta pajjiżi xorta qed jirriżulta li t-tniġġis mit- trab fin qiegħed jikber. Dwar l-ilma l-Ministru Brincat qal li l-problema tan-nixfa li ilna naffaċċjaw snin sħaħ mistennija teħżien aktar anki fejn tidħol il-kwalità tal-ilma, minħabba t-tibdil fil-klima. "Apparti minn hekk, jekk kif mistenni, bħala riżultat tat- tibdil fil-klima jogħla l-livell tal-baħar, ibati l-pajjiż innifsu, inbatu aħna ċ-ċittadini, u jbatu setturi bħall-infrastruttura u t-turiżmu minħabba li n-nies jiibdew ifittxu destinazzjonijiet anqas sħan fl-Ewropa ċentrali u dik tat-Tramuntana," sostna l-Ministru Brincat. Huwa kompla jfakkar li Malta kienet qed tkun qed tonqos kieku ma ħaditx sehem f 'dan is-Summit Ministerjali li jiftaħ għada t-Tnejn għaliex kien mistenni jagħti rankatura lill- proċess li għandu jwassal għall- konferenza storika f 'Pariġi ta' Diċembru li ġej magħrufa aħjar bħala l-COP 21. Huwa staqsa kif nistgħu ninjoraw suġġett li qatt ma kien topiku daqs illum, meta mexxejja mill-President tal- Istati Uniti Barack Obama sal-Kap tal-Knisja Kattolika l-Papa Frangisku, l-kapijiet tal-kumpaniji ewlenin taż-żejt u tal-gass, rappreżentanti ta' madwar 200 pajjiż, il-pajjiżi tal-hekk imsejjaħ G7 kif ukoll il-magna sħiħa tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti flimkien mas-soċjetà ċivili kienu qed iħossu li din m'għadhiex problema tal-ġejjieni iżda problema immedjata. Brincat fakkar fis- sens ta' urġenza u ħerqa qawwija biex il-problema tiġi indirizzata bis- serjetà fl-immedjat, fl-Enċiklika tal-Papa Franġisku Laudato Si. Il-Ministru Brincat, li ġie mistieden mill-Gvern Ingliż u minn dak Ġermaniż biex jieħu sehem f 'diskussjoni dwar studju li jitratta l-importanza ta' azzjoni u r-riskji mistenni jagħfas l-aktar fuq l-akbar sfidi li qed jaffaċċja l-Mediterran bħalissa bħala reġjun fl- intervent tieghu Il-konferenza mistennija tiġi indirizzata, fost oħrajn, mill- attur u ambjentalist ewlieni Robert Redford li għamel isem għall-kampanji ambjentali li huwa mexxa. Fl-aħħarnett, il-Ministru għall-Iżvilupp Sostenibbli, l-Ambjent u t-Tibdil fil-Klima qal li jħossu kburi li appena jgħaddi t-Tielet Qari tal-abbozz ta' liġi dwar l-azzjoni favur il-klima f 'Malta, din se jkollha s-saħħa ta' liġi liema liġi se tkun l-ewwel waħda tax-xorta tagħha f 'pajjiżna.

Minkejja dan huwa wera ruħu sorpriż b'diskors li qed isir bħalissa dwar il- kwistjoni tas-self Malti lill- Greċja, anke mill-Ministru kurrenti Edward Scicluna għaliex meta kien tressaq il-mekkaniżmu li approva s-self, sostna Fenech, "Il-Partit Laburista fl- Oppożizzjoni ivvutat favur". Tonio Fenech u Silvio Schembri jgħidu tagħhom Kont bassart JOHN BUSUTTIL LEKS Prim Ministru, il-Membru Parlamentari Ewropew, Alfred Sant kien ippreveda x'jista' jiġri lil Malta meta l-Gvern ta' dak iż-żmien kien iddeċieda li jislef il-flus lil Greċja. "Meta l-Gvern Malti kien approva s-self lill-Greċja jien kont għamiltha ċara fil- Parlament Malti li pajjiżna se jkollu problemi kbar biex nieħdu flusna lura. Il-fatti li qegħdin ngħixu llum, juru li ma kontx ħafna 'l bogħod minn dawk li rajt li se jseħħ meta l-Gvern Malti kien silef il-flus lill-Greċja."
