Umwelt
EVEN the prime minister Vanhanen, who (I believe) loves our nature, forests, winter, snow, ice, seasons and ecology, said last night the government needs to guarantee Finland's economy prior to stopping climate change.Many people and organizations are taking action to stop CC: Al Gore, Greenpeace, green parties, my previous elementary school teacher (she is a freak in the positive sense of the word).
But all I keep thinking of as news of tornados, rains, losses of harvest and increasing immigration arise is... what Alistair said once in bio HL class.
I do not remember it literally but the idea was, we do not have the moral right as western people to say developing countries should focus on thinking green. And do we really need to worry about climate change? It will make us feel uncomfortable sometime very very soon and we are not necessarily the ones surviving on a basically new globe. So what? There will be something surviving, even flourishing better than now. It could be a rat, it could be something else.
Evolution has been the success story where a species must change to adapt to a new environment. Until now, year 2007, we have succeeded thanks to evolution. And suddenly, we want to be the same lazy comforted fellows are always before and command the planet to stay the same whatever we do. But dear us, our voices are not heard by anyone else than ourselves and they don't have the capability to change anything but our own behaviour.
Aaahh.. I have the feeling I could almost write the history books of year 4000 and get plenty of things right for years 2000-2700.
