Good evening, dear reader. A sunny and a rainy Thursday have passed, along with some thunder too. Strange weather indeed. But hey: if you now can grow fig trees in the middle Sweden, then it’s really upside down with the climate. Grow figs? In Sweden? The climate evolved that you can grow pears and cherries, but figs!?

Climate has drastically changed. That’s a fact, no matter how we want to see at it. And yet people acts as it’s all normal. Well, one more degree and when all ice melts, closest cities around the world who are under or just bellow the sea level, will become a new Atlantis. Cities like Amsterdam, London, New York, Hong Kong and so on.

I sold my car last month, so I don’t posses any vehicle at all. And when I owned that car, I rarely drove it at all. During my ownership (I’ve bought it brand new in 2015) it went all in all 24000km. That’s 14 912 American miles. In six and a half years (!). That’s how crazy little I drove. How to help our global climate? Recycle, chose to walk or go by bus/tram/train instead of car. Choose to go not to often with planes (I didn’t flew at all since 2013). And if you happen to be really need of a car (living outback isn’t easy), there are very good alternatives to chose. Don’t get me wrong now: people who live in the wild outback need an 4x4, which I fully understand and respect. But people who live in urban areas? Where it’s all tarmac, good roads or in city? Do you really need an 4x4 SUV and with an V8?

We must help ourselves, all together, to help our planet. Otherwise, that day when you won’t be growing anything at all comes, then we are all as an human civilisation doomed to cease to exist.
