h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Many have told us, but we tried to keep it on a distance, because we didn't like that kind of people, or did not want to face the results for private life.

Not in my twenties, but after my first "crisis" in 1984 I always hung somewhere in between, with the great excuse that "alfredo" is far more urgent enough to take care for than all the other threats. In itself it was no nonsense.

January 2007;

Suddenly húge ice mountains are drifting, Al Gore gets real success with his movie all around the USA, New Zealand and the U.K. are having a fight about who will suddenly "repair" a wooden house of a polar mission in the past before it falls in parts by the warmth, and the first country will disappear in 50 years; Tuvalu.

Sounds strange, but it also feels a bit like a new dawn to me. Maybe it won't last more than a month, but now, this January the world community is suddenly in tune with its habitat; planet earth, always the same suddenly changes ... yes yes.

Real change in our human behaviour always comes mainly by the pressure of a real threat, when even money doesn't help. We need it too, so mankind/I will always turn when we/I should have 20 years ago.

Well I did for many years, as one of the first and 15 years of activism are not a waste of time. Finally I boosted against my own limits, well I hope all others will also change for 15 years. Lot more than we do now.

Anyhow, suddenly the world feels very small. Images seen for ages and ages, suddenly crumble, like glaciers. Not everything is a drama, but the changes do have a dramatic effect on our emotions, well mine, so to speak.

The word "climate" was invented to point out "stability" in the weather. Suddenly it changes within a decade.Well, Canada, Greenland and Russia are the new spots for mankind.My children will júst escape the real fuss, but theír children; they are stuck.
