G8 leaders condemn us to poverty八國集團領導人譴責我們貧困 Thursday, July 10th, 2008 週四， 2008年7月10日 Discuss this report in the RINF forums > 討論這個報告，在rinf論壇> By通過 Sadie Robinson莎迪羅賓遜 | An enormous economic crisis is gripping the world. |一個巨大的經濟危機是吸引人的世界。 In the Global South millions of people are being reduced to levels barely above starvation, as rising food and fuel prices help drive back years of slow improvements to health.在全球南方以百萬計的人正在減少的水平，勉強以上的飢餓，由於不斷增加的糧食和燃料價格有助於推動回多年的緩慢改善健康。 In Cambodia, the Irin news agency reports that farmers are abandoning tractors and other farm equipment because they can no longer afford petrol.在柬埔寨，綜合區域信息網新聞社報導說，農民放棄的拖拉機和其他農機設備，因為他們再也不能汽油。 This in turn is drastically cutting the amount of food produced.這反過來又是大幅削減的數額生產的食品。 In Djibouti, US Aid says the crisis means that half the population is now suffering acute food shortages.在吉布提，美國援助說，危機是指一半的人口是現在的痛苦嚴重的糧食短缺。 In Pakistan there is evidence that the children of the poor are getting smaller for their age compared to a few years ago as a result of malnutrition.在巴基斯坦有證據表明，兒童的窮人是越來越少，為他們的年齡相比，幾年前，由於營養不良。 Nasreen Bibi is a domestic servant in Pakistan.納斯林比比是一個國內的僕人在巴基斯坦。 She says, “I know my children are not growing well.她說： “我知道我的孩子是不是越來越好。 My employer, who can feed her children good food, has a five year old son.我的雇主，誰可以給孩子良好的食品，有一個5歲的兒子。 His clothes are too big even for my nine year old.他的衣服過大，甚至對我的九年歲。 Everywhere you look, poor children are shorter and frailer.”到處你看，貧困兒童短frailer “ 。 Although the effects of this crisis are being felt most sharply in the poorest countries, even Britain is not immune from its blows.雖然影響這一危機現正認為，最大幅度在最貧窮的國家，甚至英國也不能倖免，從它的衝擊。 Though the shelves of our supermarkets are stuffed with food, millions cannot afford to buy the produce without sinking deeper into debt.雖然貨架上，我們超級市場塞進食物，數以百萬計不能買不起生產沒有下沉到更深的債務。 And as bills for lighting and heating our homes have spiralled ever upwards, Gordon Brown has insisted that workers must accept pay cuts.作為法案的照明和取暖，我們的家園有spiralled以往任何時候都向上，財政大臣布朗堅持認為，工人必須接受減薪。 Now talk of recession, job cuts and home repossessions is beginning to spread across the US and Britain.現在談經濟衰退，裁員及家居repossessions開始傳遍整個美國和英國。 In this urgent situation, you might expect the G8 leaders who met this week in Japan to come up with some concrete proposals to help alleviate the pain.在這緊急情況下，您可能期望八國集團領導人會見了誰，這週在日本要拿出一些具體的建議，以幫助減輕疼痛。 Instead there has been a deafening silence.不是有一個震耳欲聾的沉默。 There will be no subsidised food for poorer nations.將不會有任何資助的食物較窮的國家。 There will be no action to stop the burning of food as biofuel.將不會有任何行動來制止燃燒的食物作為生物燃料。 And there will be no action to stop multinational firms speculating on essential goods in a way that drives their prices still higher.及將不會有任何行動，制止跨國公司的猜測，對基本商品的這樣一種方式驅動器的價格仍然較高。 Nor will there be any significant moves to reduce the output of gases that contribute towards climate change.也不會有任何重大的舉措，以減少輸出的氣體有助於氣候變化的影響。 The leaders refuse to act because the crisis is the result of the very policies they have committed themselves to for decades.領導人拒絕採取行動，因為危機的結果，非常的政策，它們承諾，以數十年之久。 Capitalism has distorted food production and put millions at the mercy of the global food market.資本主義已經扭曲了糧食生產和付諸表決，數百萬在憐憫的全球食品市場。 Increasingly food production is organised to make profits for a handful of multinational agribusinesses, and not to meet need.越來越多的糧食生產是有組織，以賺取利潤為少數跨國公司的農業企業，而不是滿足需要。 So despite the fact that there is no actual shortage of food, people will go hungry because they cannot meet the price that is being asked for it.因此，儘管事實上是沒有實際的糧食短缺，人們會挨餓，因為他們不能滿足的價格，現正要求它。 World leaders are also backtracking on their previous commitments.世界各國領導人也回溯對他們先前的承諾。 Three years ago the G8 leaders met in Gleneagles, Scotland.三年前，八國集團領導人會見了在蘇格蘭格倫伊格爾斯。 They promised to increase global aid by $50 billion a year and to increase aid to Africa by $25 billion.他們承諾，增加援助，全球每年500億美元，並增加對非洲的援助由250億美元。 They are now desperately trying to wriggle out of their promises.他們現在拼命試圖腸蠕動離開自己的承諾。 An initial draft of the new agreement on aid has removed any mention of that $50 billion.初步草案的新協議，對援助已取消任何提及這500億美元。 Reassure 放心 Experts on climate change say that cuts to carbon emissions of at least 80 percent are required to stave off disaster.專家關於氣候變化的說，削減二氧化碳排放量的至少有80 ％須避開災難。 But the G8 could barely muster a “target” of cutting emissions by 50 percent by 2050.但八國集團幾乎無法鼓起一個“目標”切割排放量的50 ％ ，到2050年。 The pledge itself is meaningless.承諾本身是沒有意義的。 Making a serious cut in emissions requires serious measures – investment in renewable energy sources, increased investment in public transport, and a halt to airport expansion.決策嚴重削減的排放量，需要嚴肅的措施-投資可再生能源的來源，增加投資在公共運輸方面，和停止機場擴建。 The G8 announced no such measures.八國集團宣布，沒有這樣的措施。 However, with the world teetering on the brink of an economic slump, the G8 leaders did seek to reassure us, predicting “the long-term resilience of our economies and future global economic growth”.但是，與世界上搖搖欲墜的邊緣，經濟低迷，八國集團領導人沒有設法安撫我們，預測“長遠的應變能力，我們的經濟和未來的全球經濟增長” 。 There is something else that unites the millions across the world who are suffering from the food and fuel crisis, and that is resistance.有一些東西，否則團結的數百萬世界各地的誰是痛苦的從食物和燃料危機，那就是抵抗。 Across the world we have seen strikes waves against rising prices in Egypt and Bangladesh, riots and street protests in Indonesia, Mexico and Haiti.世界各地的我們所看到的罷工浪潮對價格上漲在埃及和孟加拉，暴亂和街頭抗議在印度尼西亞，墨西哥和海地。 Next week more than half a million local government workers will strike for two days in Britain.下週有50多萬當地政府的工人將罷工兩天，在英國。 Millions more will watch them, thinking that they too should be taking action.數百萬人將觀看他們，認為他們也應採取行動。 The G8 leaders have again shown us that they will not act to stop disaster.八國集團領導人再次向我們表明，他們不會採取行動阻止災難。 It is only the resistance of ordinary people that can ensure that rulers don’t get away with making us pay for the crisis that they have created.這是唯一的抵抗普通百姓能夠確保統治者沒有擺脫與使我們支付危機，他們創造了。 See More: 看到更多的： G8 八國集團Discuss
