Balanço contábil das nações: reflexões sobre os cenários de mudanças climáticas globais by José Roberto Kassai, Rafael Feltran-Barbieri, Luiz Nelson Carvalho, Alexandre Foschine, Yara Consuelo Cintra, Luís Eduardo Afonso

“…Os balanços contábeis de cada país foram avaliados em unidades equivalentes de produto interno bruto (PIB), ajustados pelo consumo de energia per capita em toneladas equivalente de petróleo (TEP) e em mega toneladas de carbono (MtonC), precificadas pelo custo (US$) de captura de carbono sugeridos pela ONU. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que os países desenvolvidos estão consumindo recursos de outras nações e de gerações futuras e, apesar de Brasil e Rússia apresentarem superávits ambientais, o balanço consolidado do planeta no cenário de 2050 aponta para uma situação deficitária ou falimentar, com "passivo a descoberto" ou patrimônio líquido negativo equivalente a US$ 2,3 mil anuais para cada um dos atuais 6,6 bilhões de habitantes (2008) e um passivo ambiental equivalente a um quarto do PIB mundial. …”
