I’m writing this out of a place of despair. Despair that I have been feeling on and off these last few weeks. Despair that is my steady companion, slumbering below the surface, waiting for its moment to be allowed to breathe.
The climate crisis is coming. For some parts of the world, it's already here. I knew this, rationally, and have known this, for a number of years now. I used to work for a Climate Science and Policy Institute, you see. I know what the numbers mean. One point five to survive, was the slogan. Last year we were at 1°C of warming. Does anyone really believe we’ll manage to not heat the world another 0.5°C at the rate things are going?

CategoriesAbout this Blog // Über diesen BlogSometimes I write in English. Have a look under "categories" to find posts in English. // Why this blog? // Warum Bloggen?
I sometimes get this flash of: this needs to be said, and it needs to be heard. By many. That's when I write. It's not perfect, I have no ambition for it to be. My intention is that it sparks something in someone. Support. Understanding. Companionship. Inspiration. I don't know. Something :)
// Manchmal bin ich inspiriert und denke mir: das muss raus. Das muss gehört werden. Von vielen. In diesen Momenten setze ich mich hin und schreibe. Das Ergebnis ist sicherlich nicht perfekt, aber diesen Anspruch habe ich auch nicht. Ich hoffe, dass meine Worte inspirieren, trösten... dich in Verbindung mit dir selbst bringen. Archives |
