Climate: This is not the world I was born in.

This is not the world I was born in.

If I was to close my eyes in 1990 and open them in 2010 seeing the world as it is now. That would be my first thought.

Even thought we have developed incredibly fast in certain areas as medicine and telecommunications we are still moving "relatively" slowly in some others as energy and supply chain efficiency.

If you are a kid now, you would see in the world an environment that differs completely with the one we lived when we were children. It is a bit too obvious now that a change is happening and it is happening fast

Back in the 1990's we saw the generation after 2010 as a futuristic panorama, conscious, sustainable and highly innovative. The truth is, we need to do better as we became that generation. We are now slowly becoming the leading generation still with the idea that is someone else and not us the ones that are shaping the world.

A technical report that I was reading stated that unless any major technological breakthrough we will not be any different in our energy consumption habits now and in 2030. (unless of course Mother Nature strike in a way that we will see, not as a unfortunate event of a small country. But rather as a catastrophic event for a "large economy").

We will need to move faster as a society if there is anything of the world that we knew as children that we would like our grandchildren to live.

This is not the world I knew. And it seems that every year it is a new world, new weather, same habits, same mindsets.

As in the news you can still find people debating wether this is natural or unnatural. It seems that no one thinks, that for whatever reason it is..things are changing and what some cities learned in centuries of dealing with snow, rain, heat, etc, others need to learn in a month or two. What's our contingency plan? What's leadership now?

Human influence or not...something's changing and it is the climate....just saying.
