neighbourhoods of the future: ignoring global warming won’t make it go away.
like someone said, “this is the time to shout about the problem and make SURE something is finally done”. so what can we do?

have a look at george monbiot suggestions on this article over the report of Nicholas Stern.
it will be so much much cheaper to start acting now than to pretend the problem is in such a far away future that i will never affect our lifetime. that’s so wrong. in 2004, the atlantic ocean current actually stopped for 10 days (remember what happens in the day after tomorrow?).

the problem is here, and it’s here to stay.
ironically, yesterday i was a bit enraged with all the debate around the abortion issue going on again in portugal (where it still isn’t legal except for medical reasons and the sorts) when today i realized this is a problem which should overcome all the other discussions – as monbiot puts it, “The principal costs of climate change will be measured in lives, not pounds. As Stern reminded us yesterday, there would be a moral imperative to seek to prevent mass death even if the economic case did not stack up.”

let’s do something, shall we?
