On the question of climate change

Researchers all over the world are united in their conclusions – with some, very few exceptions. We are heading towards a gigantic disaster if we do not change our way of living. We have a choice – either to go on as nothing has happened or take immediate forceful actions to stop and turn the development, where the enormous productions of energy sources create gigatons of carbon dioxide in the samt time as we cut down our rainforests and most of all other important green savers. Daring and courageous politicians and other leaders ought to make definite decisions to turn all of us to enter new courses, changing our attitudes and behaviours. But this is quite easy to say and almost hopless to do. Just imagine this scenario: From January 1, 2008 it will become strictly forbidden to drive any gasoline private car within all cities where the inhabitants are more than 100 000 people. Only electrical cars will be allowed for private driving within the cities.
I am afraid that such a decision would cause lots of angry demonstrations and lots of counter attacks of different kinds. The problem is that the majority of people will not accept any steps at all that will radically hamper their way of living. Why? Well, I am quite pessimistic about how far and how well the majority looks at everything that is going on around them. I am afraid that most Swedes, just as an example, nod when they listen to or read about the climate threat, and people probably tell their friends that this is really a serious matter, and then they look out through the windows, and all they see is the November darkness, and all they feel is that it is chilly outside, hopeless weather conditions, and then they are starting to long for a climate change that hopefully could bring some warmth. And that is that. And that is the end of the story. Sad to say.
