| Chill out - tropical nights in Bali |
Conference on climate changes held in 2007 in Bali caused some
serious changes also in mindsets of Balinese population. Especially
shop owners. After deep contemplation of the papers presented at the
conference in jet-set resort Nusa Dua, Bali they started to
offer:
a) saunas
b) open fire places
c) central heating systems
d) bigger selection of warm clothes
As an average Western guy I thought, yeah, this Balinese are great for mixing everything up. So many proofs it will be warmer and warmer and even warmer – and poor guys are trying to sell me items more suitable for the inhabitants of the Norwegian woods...
And Earth saving participants of the conference did their best to prove their theories not only in theoretical department - in order to increase CO2 blanket they traveled from half a world to Bali by jet planes, to show how energy consumption will affect global warming, they used high power air conditioning all the time of their stay ...
After several other really successful global warming conferences (all held in places and at times when it's rather hot at the conference), we can all see their warnings come true.
However, as the time passes, I'm not anymore so sure of my understanding.
In tropical Bali we drink hot ginger tea to keep us warm...
My family and friends in Europe, decided this spring not to collect flowers and cut the grass, but to shovel the snow. In the end of October they started to look for snow gear again ...
As I like money as the next guy, I'm calling a conference on “Dangers of the New Ice Age”, in January, 2014 in Anchorage, Alaska.
