The president of Fundación Códigos, Luis Seguessa, will give the conference 'Climate Changes: Why and How to Stop Them,' organized by the company Plan-B. The talk is open and free to the public and will take place on Wednesday, July 6th, at 7 PM, in the hall of the Cámara de Comercio e Industria of the province (España 339).

In an exclusive interview with Opinión Calificada he revealed the details of this conference and the ways to combat climate change, including ending combustion engines that have serious environmental consequences.

What topics will he cover in the conference?

Our conferences always focus on the main causes of climate change and how we can start minimizing all of this from each individual's standpoint. In this context, it's crucial because accurate information is what prompts humans to act effectively.

So far, the focus has been on gas emissions as the primary issue of global warming. However, we emphasize and raise awareness that there are other factors influencing this situation, which also have indirect connections to cataclysms.

What characteristics will the talk have?

We will present the reality of the problem and the most effective ways to take action against it for about 50 minutes. The presentation is thoroughly grounded in scientific research and will include photographs, videos, and testimonies.

The implementation of biofuels is said to reduce climate change. Is this true?

It reduces very little because the major issue isn't just about gas emissions, but also about the technology we're using. So, changing to fuels like biodiesel or nitrogen, which don't emit as much CO2, doesn't address the core problem.2 however, it still damages the planet's ecosystem.

And why does this pollution persist?

In the last 30 years, technological development has progressed significantly. However, due to strong pressures from oil companies, the outdated technology that's been around for over 100 years still resides under the hood of vehicles – I'm talking about the internal combustion engine, a machine that is wreaking havoc on the planet.

Are there alternatives to that model?

Absolutely, and while they may not be the ultimate solution, there are currently electric cars that operate with electric technology, which can help prevent this from becoming a disaster.

Today, the world is on a path of geometrically progressing destruction. If we shift to electromagnetic energy, the atmosphere could be cleansed and restored within a matter of years, thus halting the ongoing crisis.

What characteristics do these vehicles have?

Aunque los intereses económicos nos hayan querido mostrar otra cosa, los vehículos electromagnéticos tienen muchas ventajas.

Three years ago, we tested cars in California with ultracapacitor technology. These vehicles can be charged in 10 minutes, have a range of 450 kilometers, and offer significantly better acceleration and speed than conventional vehicles. They can be recharged using standard power outlets of 110, 220, or 360 volts. This is something entirely viable that we can implement.

What other technologies are being explored?

There are efforts to enhance electromagnetic technology, eliminating the need for the car to be recharged. This possibility has already been tested and proven. We are aware that in Austria, a highly ingenious system was used where kinetic energy is transformed into electric energy. With four sets of energy accumulators, they achieved a substantial level of autonomy.

Very large trucks were created that crossed all of Europe with just a single electric charge because the kinetic energy (generated from movement) of the vehicle itself recharged those accumulators.

There are better alternatives, but we have to move away from combustion and transition towards cleaner technologies.

Why are vehicles with alternative energies more expensive in the market?

It's due to a matter of mass adoption. If mass adoption is achieved, electric vehicles will become cheaper than conventional ones, as electromagnetic energy is straightforward.

For example, an internal combustion engine requires around 2,500 components to function - many of them in motion - in addition to cooling systems, water, oil lubrication, filters, spark plugs, and more. This makes it expensive to manufacture and maintain.

In contrast, an electric motor consists of around 25 components (only one in motion) and doesn't require water, oil, filters, or spark plugs. A three-phase motor can last up to 10 years with minimal maintenance. They are easy to manufacture, and the vehicles would cost half or even less than the current cost of analogous vehicles.

Who opposes the implementation of these technologies?

The oil industry and car manufacturers, which likely hold investments in oil, are the ones opposing it.

Fundación Códigos has been trying to acquire an electric car for years but hasn't been successful. We even produced television specials showcasing the evidence, including emails and responses from a Chinese factory that had promised us an electric car due to the foundation's work. However, the car was never delivered. The latest communication we received when attempting to purchase it was that we had to buy 50 vehicles. They always found ways to prevent that car from reaching the foundation's hands.

Is there any legislation concerning this matter?

In Uruguay, we have a law that was proposed by our institution and was positively supported by the government.

José 'Pepe' Mujica got into an electric car developed by a technologist from our foundation. It's a converted vehicle, a small working van in which he was accompanied by his vice president. This was a clear stance from our president in favor of clean technology. A law that came into effect on January 1st, 2011, lowered taxes on electric cars from 100% to 5% so that any citizen could afford them. Despite this, there are still no electric cars in Uruguay, and there won't be for many years. They managed, in a clever manner, to claim that there's no homologation for these cars, and thus, electric cars can't come to South America.

And what's the situation in Argentina?

It's worse here because there isn't even a law like that, and there's no intention on the part of President Cristina Fernández to show interest in the issue. When she tested the Chevrolet Volt, a vehicle of very high technology, she compared it to an iron, so it's difficult for this to be implemented.

Fundación Códigos

Fundación Códigos was established in Uruguay through the initiative of researcher Luis Seguessa and a group of professionals. Its purpose is to investigate, inform, and disseminate the true causes of climate change and its solutions. The foundation promotes technological change, environmental education, research, and a shift in global consciousness.

Luis Seguessa, President of the Fundación Códigos, has been studying the causes and consequences of climatic phenomena for the past 20 years. He has conducted numerous research studies on the ozone layer, magnetosphere, thermo-electromagnetic energy, polar ice melting, methane hydrate, and mechanical engineering. He has also specialized in researching biblical content and its decoding, presenting astonishing comparative findings.

On January 15, 2008, Seguessa initiated a cycle of international conferences and activities in São Paulo, Brazil, aimed at raising awareness among humanity about the serious issue at hand. The goal was to encourage more people from all continents to join this initiative in favor of technological and consciousness change. Currently, the Fundación Códigos is expanding to different countries around the globe, including Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Colombia, and Mexico.
