"It is estimated that 2015 will be (will have been) the warmest year since thermal records began.. Climate change is a reality, will we be able to mitigate it in time?

 

""The world is in a time of change".says Hans-Josef Fell, co-author of a law that launched the boom German renewables. This is the kind of turning point we applaud.
It is not the first we have seen. In the last 50 years we have created a world where people live 20 years longer than before, where we cross oceans in a day, where we communicate instantly with the entire planet virtually for free and carry entire libraries in the palm of our hands. Fossil fuels made it possible, but in the second half of the 21st century we will have to move on without them if we are to avoid climate disaster.."

 

"The late novelist E. L. Doctorow described his writing process in these terms: "...the process of writing is a process that is not only a process, but also a process that is not a process.It's like driving at night: you can't see beyond the headlights, but you can get to your destination.". Solving climate change will require a similar capacity for improvisation. "

 

"When we look back from our warmer future to 2015, we will know if that is when the prophecy began to come true."
