You mean the Pope who stood up so firmly against sexual abuse in his own house?

Dream on.

No, no, I’ve never said that. I am myself highly worried about many countries going further and further right.

I just thought that maybe there is a either European or international law that prohibits hindering people that help dying people. I’m pretty sure that there used to be a naval code, that sailors must help sailors.

I am not so crazy to think that it would have a high impact, but maybe Europe could threaten cutting financial aid or whatever.

But I see your point. With many countries going racist and with even a European border militia (Frontex), it’s probably only in the interest of Europe to look away.

Imagine a world, where one gets punished for helping dying people.

No need to imagine, we live in that world.

But isn’t there any European legislative that could overrule Italian’s racist government?

Singing along to Refused.

“I wanna watch the world burn for what we’ve become”

I’m sorry! It’s just a song, I didn’t mean it literally!

It seems to get more difficult to end an article with optimisms:

But it would be wrong to call what is happening a “climate collapse” […] we still have time to secure a liveable future for many

For many, hm.

Reminded my of another article ending on

Here is where we need to invest and make changes and innovate and not give up. We can’t just write off billions of people.

If “average” only would mean that the temperature is the same everywhere.

Man, you are so right. The weirdest part is, that your behavior isn’t even socially very accepted.

I, too, love engines. I admire the technology and how genius they are put together. My dream is to own a cruiser motorbike and go drive through the countryside. I don’t think this will happen, as I would hate myself to burn fuel for pleasure.

I own a very old, tiny scooter, that I only use to carry heavy stuff. I used to carry on my shoulders, but mom in law felt sorry for me and gave me her oldest, broken, rusty scooter, that nobody used for months, because she bought a new one again. I repaired it. My wife gets upset, when I don’t drive her around. For example to the market 500 meters down the road to buy a can of soda or so. I only use it for hard work.

People surrounding me think I don’t like progress. No, man, I would love to have a more convenient life! Driving to me is fun, I enjoy it! I just can’t stand myself to do something bad to environment for my pleasure, so I try not to. And people think I’m weird.

I know people like you and me don’t even make a difference. Whatever amount we save and not emit in our whole lifetime - some ignorant wealthy will blow out within 5 minutes.

I’ve been thrown off by “An El Nino cycle is typically 2-7 years long.” But the Wikipedia page really says this.

However, I believe this is meant as the time between El Niño years, not how long a single El Niño pattern sticks.

Looking at history records (NOAA) makes me think so.

If anyone can clarify, please feel free to educate me.

Look up “bureau 39”. They have installed a nice cash flow institute, that goes around the sanctions.

This is just sickening! I’m not sure if I want to vomit or rage.

Pension, lol. I don’t know how old you are, but I wouldn’t count on pension in very few decades.

We would need to do much more than flying less, driving less and invest money. We would need to change the entirety of our lifestyles. And by now we probably need to have luck as well.
