It seems that we will be in need of more and better survival equipment because climate change is becoming a reality and as our world warms up more than advisable, natural disasters are becoming more common than ever. We really need to change our perspectives in ecology, business and politics, or we will suffer more than we can now foresee.

At these very moments, the city of New Orleans is disappearing under water due to the action of hurricane Katrina. Millions of people are suffering, human and animal lives are being lost, as well as millions of property and the efforts of whole lives, at the same time that the bad-mannered - there is no other polite way to describe him - ambassador of the United States in the United Nations, Mr. John Bolton, is pressing hard for 'indispensable reforms' such as deleting all mentions of the Kyoto Protocol in the U.N. daily speak, and news seem to be reporting that the only thing that matters in the world is whether this hurricane will make oil prices jump or soar. Do we deserve all this?

Current meteorological models are telling us that as the planet warms up, natural phenomena such as storms, drought and so on will become more violent and extreme, and what a simple B.A. in Marketing - the current President of the United States - says regarding the fact, stating that the whole thing about global warming is bollocks, seem quite unnerving, considering what is happening in his own country.

We really hope that our collective conscience, and particularly that of the people of the United States will make things change because if not, if the world continues to move at the pace of marketing people transformed into world leaders, and un-polite ambassadors, we will really have to gather all sorts of survival equipment and especially, those to protect us from rising and falling waters, because these disasters that we see today may be just a rehearsal before the premiere.
