Hi Galen, in recent years, perhaps since the 90's, the climate in Madrid has been getting warmer. I guess something logical in a city that does not stop growing, with more asphalt, more urban traffic, more heaters in winter, more air conditioners in summer, etc. I could not say if there are more reasons that explain the change of climate here.
The adaptation for me is simple, flee from Madrid in August and wear less clothes in winter.
Best regards.
It's a compounding problem, all the elements combined circling around each other and pushing things farther along. It'll not go well but there's enough people putting their heads in the sand to ignore it that nothing will get done to arrest the decline. The same economically.
I couldn't agree more. Besides, decadence seems inevitable to me, considering that the managers who should be in charge of dealing with the problems are only experts in public relations and image.
It is what it is, and I don't want to live in anger. But the decadence, at least in Europe, also the moral one, seems to be irreversible. That said, I hope you have a good end of the day.
That sums it up really. They keep pushing the responsibility for change onto individuals (people like you and I) but corporations and countries destroy the environment more each day than you or I could in a lifetime...so change is not really possible, just an illusion governments and corporations like to weave to satisfy casual scrutiny. It's laughable. So yeah, no point living in anger about it, just get on with life I guess...you and I will be dead long before the world nose dives into the abyss and the poor fuckers left behind will have to deal with it.
We have also talked about it in other occasions, there is a whole mind control machinery that drives people in a certain direction. And the use of guilt is key, it is the way to become a herd. It's so obvious... not so many years ago I was quite angry about all this. My attitude has changed... I guess not having kids makes it easier for me to be more relaxed. Although I don't understand the “irresponsibility” of so many parents, who think that blind obedience, “being good”, leads to a good end.
It's like you're in my head. I agree.
I guess it's a question of age. We see life differently, we were brought up differently.
Yep, different focus and our thoughts come from a different place and perspective I suppose.
