EL ALZA EN IMPUESTOS, SÓLO OCASIONARÁ MÁS POBREZA
El incremento de plazas de mandos superiores gubernamentales, mencionó, es uno de los gastos que deben recortarse; en 2001 había cuatro mil 446 directores de área y para 2009, la cifra ascendió a 38 mil 427. Significa un gasto neto en nómina de 84 mil millones de pesos, equivalente al doble de los recursos destinados al programa Oportunidades, resaltó.

De acuerdo con el Analítico de Plazas del Proyecto de Presupuesto de Egresos de la Federación 2022 (PPEF), el siguiente año el número de servidores públicos pasaría de un millón 451,161 a un millón 493,788. Este crecimiento superaría los aumentos observados en 2021 y 2020, cuando la burocracia se incrementó en 23,505 y 19,700 plazas, respectivamente

Calderón pide compensación por la reducción del CO2
2010.02.02
“La responsabilidad y el peligro es compartido, pero la solución también” dijo el presidente Felipe Calderón en una conferencia en la Universidad de Naciones Unidas en la capital japonesa, donde finalizó su visita oficial de tres días.
El mandatario pidió compensaciones económicas por cada tonelada de CO2 que dejen de emitir a la atmósfera los países en desarrollo y también financiación para luchar contra el cambio climático.
Además, Calderón abogó por la creación de un "fondo verde" que permita a las naciones más pobres acceder a financiación y recursos para iniciar proyectos medioambientales y aseveró que, si los países desarrollados no facilitan incentivos económicos, no habrá acuerdos posibles.
Reconoció que los países en desarrollo deben ser los más activos para establecer “un nuevo modelo de crecimiento” basado en el ahorro energético y las tecnologías de bajo consumo y emisiones.
México se ha comprometido a emitir 50 millones de toneladas menos de dióxido de carbono (C02) para 2012 y presentó en la anterior cumbre de Copenhague una reducción de las emisiones en un 30% en 2020 con respecto a la tendencia esperada para ese año.

Energía y Población y las "recursos" finitos de la Tierra:
(comentario sobre White's Law)
White’s Law, one of the fundamental principles of human ecology, states that economic development is a function of energy per capita; the immense treasure trove of concentrated energy embodied in fossil fuels, and that alone, made possible the sky-high levels of energy per capita that gave the world’s industrial nations their brief era of exuberance; as fossil fuels deplete, and remaining reserves require higher and higher energy inputs to extract, the levels of energy per capita the industrial nations are used to having will go away forever.
It’s important to be clear about this. Fossil fuels aren’t simply one energy source among others; in terms of concentration, usefulness, and fungibility—that is, the ability to be turned into any other form of energy that might be required—they’re in a category all by themselves. Repeated claims that fossil fuels can be replaced with nuclear power, renewable energy resources, or what have you sound very good on paper, but every attempt to put those claims to the test so far has either gone belly up in short order, or become a classic subsidy dumpster surviving purely on a diet of government funds and mandates.
Three centuries ago, the earth’s fossil fuel reserves were the largest single deposit of concentrated energy in this part of the universe; now we’ve burnt through nearly all the easily accessible reserves, and we’re scrambling to keep the tottering edifice of industrial society going by burning through the dregs that remain. As those run out, the remaining energy resources—almost all of them renewables—will certainly sustain a variety of human societies, and some of those will be able to achieve a fairly high level of complexity and maintain some kinds of advanced technologies. The kind of absurd extravagance that passes for a normal standard of living among the more privileged inmates of the industrial nations is another matter, and as the fossil fuel age sunsets out, it will end forever.
... Energy, raw materials, and labor are the factors that have to be present in order to produce goods and services. Credit simply regulates who gets how much of each of these things, and there have been plenty of societies that have handled that same task without making use of a credit system at all. A credit collapse, in turn, doesn’t make the energy, raw materials, and labor vanish into some fiscal equivalent of a black hole; they’re all still there, in whatever quantities they were before the credit collapse, and all that’s needed is some new way to allocate them to the production of goods and services
... That’s the problem with the insistence that this time it really is different: it disables the most effective protection we’ve got against the habit of thought that cognitive psychologists call "confirmation bias," the tendency to look for evidence that supports one’s pet theory rather than seeking the evidence that might call it into question. The scientific method itself, in the final analysis, is simply a collection of useful gimmicks that help you sidestep confirmation bias. That’s why competent scientists, when they come up with a hypothesis to explain something in nature, promptly sit down and try to think up as many ways as possible to disprove the hypothesis. Those potentials for disproof are the raw materials from which experiments are designed, and only if the hypothesis survives all experimental attempts to disprove it does it take its first step toward scientific respectability.
