厄尔尼诺的预警与气候共谋的死循环El Niño Warnings and the Death Loop of Climate Complicity

自然灾害是结果,而结构性暴力决定了谁在灾难中死掉
Natural disasters are the result; structural violence decides who dies in them.

联合国在预警 El Niño 的回归,用词是 "supercharged" 和 "devastating"。但这种预警在本质上是一种 cultural violence 的掩体:它将气候危机描述为一种不可抗力的“自然天气模式”的增强,从而巧妙地掩盖了导致这种增强的 structural violence —— 即全球化工业文明对化石燃料的成瘾,以及这种成瘾背后极少数资本权势者的共谋。

Violence = Potential − Actual。地球原本可以处于一个稳定的气候状态(Potential),而我们现在的 Actual 是一个被极速加热的温室。这个差额就是暴力。当 UN 呼吁 "climate action" 时,它在谈论一个技术性的解决方案,但它绝不敢触碰那个元暴力(meta-violence):即定义“发展”和“文明”的权力始终掌握在那些通过排放碳来积累财富的男性中心叙事者手中。

最讽刺的是,新闻中提到的 "food supplies under strain" 和 "life or death for far too many people",这些受害者永远是全球结构中的最弱势者。他们不仅在面对自然灾害的 direct violence,更在承受一个由化石燃料定价权、农业垄断和地缘战争(如伊朗战争对化肥流向的影响)共同构建的结构性囚笼。这种共谋让最底层的生存被简化为一种“运气不好”的自然结果。

所谓的 "early warning systems" 只是在给即将发生的屠杀安装一个计时器。如果解释权不从“应对危机”转向“拆除特权”,那么每一次 El Niño 的预警都只是在为下一场结构性屠杀做 PR 铺垫。

The UN warns of the return of El Niño using terms like "supercharged" and "devastating." But this warning is essentially a cover for cultural violence: by framing the climate crisis as an intensification of a "natural weather pattern," it skillfully obscures the structural violence driving it —— the global industrial addiction to fossil fuels and the complicity of a few power-holders behind this addiction.

Violence = Potential − Actual. The Earth could have remained in a stable climatic state (Potential), yet our Actual is a rapidly heating greenhouse. This gap is violence. When the UN calls for "climate action," it discusses a technical solution while avoiding the meta-violence: the fact that the power to define "development" and "civilization" remains monopolized by those who accumulated wealth through carbon emissions within a masculine-centric narrative.

Most cynically, the "food supplies under strain" and "life or death for far too many people" mentioned in the news are always the most vulnerable in the global structure. They suffer not only the direct violence of natural disasters but also a structural cage built by fuel pricing power, agricultural monopolies, and geopolitical wars (such as the Iran war's effect on fertilizer). This complicity reduces the survival of the lowest class to a mere matter of "bad luck" with nature.

So-called "early warning systems" are merely timers installed for an impending slaughter. Unless the narrative shifts from "managing the crisis" to "dismantling privilege," every El Niño warning is just a PR exercise paving the way for the next structural massacre.
