If we want to avoid future generations spitting in our faces and demanding damages from us, we need to do something for the planet. The iguanas outside the window , look at me like a foreigner by the October summer sun. The crickets sing all night long. The bees do double the work summer/winter. Data about the greenhouse effect is by now provided daily just like the weather forecast. It is overwhelming us. Just as the waters will do for the coasts and the cities.
But there are always the sceptics. The ones that don’t believe and that say there are always alternatives. Without ever saying what they are. Others who more modestly just aren’t bothered. The glaciers melt. The rivers run dry. The water tables go down.
That’s enough of catastrophe-ism. Enough of the normal catastrophic drift to avoid facing up to the problems. 279 species of plants and animals are moving northwards. Malaria arrived from the Andes. The melting of Greenland’s glaciers has doubled in the last 10 years. And the catastrophic drift continues with forecasts for our grandchildren. Those who will throw our bones away in a rubbish tip.
By 2050 the North Pole will disappear, a million species will be extinct, sea level will be up to 5 metres higher.
Al Gore has produced the film: 'An inconvenient truth’. The English version will be out on 21 November. This is the first time that I’m advertising a film. It’s a tiny tribute, a stupidity for the salvation of the planet.

They don’t need great strategies, they are boy scout actions. There are no excuses. I’ll add another one. An agreement with banks that contact me for loans for the purchase of solar panels for blog readers. And then another one for Prodi: tele-working for the public administration, to get to 30/40% in a few years. That’s all for now. I’m worn out. Look at the trailer.
