We see on news channels
quite long broadcasts of climate change conferences. Perhaps in the summer we are most anxious about global warming and need some sort of entertainment as a small distraction, either a creative conference or a summer action-adventure movie. Also, the climate-change conferences'
participants devise ways to make the conference's message of “Care
For The Earth” more entertaining, in the hope that the message will
be memorized in the viewer's memory. Then there is the production
of big movies on the environment, and watching them we may say that
climate change will be a dominant issue, precisely because saving the
earth will be so last minute and desperate that we will almost see an
“action-adventure” movie in real life with a cast of climate-change
enthusiasts.
What must be done in
order to ensure a happy ending to our climate-change action adventure
is a careful evaluation of the “heroes” of the climate-change
movement: to see whether they are strong enough, brave enough, when
the climate-change issue really comes to focus.
That the climate-change movement will be so “last minute” means
that there will be heroes involved in the movement rather than calmer street protests. The climate-change heroes must be identified soon,
and celebrated as heroes and not just as participants in a mass
movement.
It
is hard to accept that the climate-change hero will certainly be
effective, because there is no human-like “enemy” or “nemesis” in the
climate-change movement of the future, rather nature itself will occupy
the position of nemesis, which means nature itself will have to be
attacked and destroyed completely, like the adventurous emptying out
of the sea if the sea-levels get too high all of a sudden and leads
to desperation. This means there is no turning back to the
past, to pristine nature, to the way things were, in the
climate-change movement; the world will not look/revert back to what it once was in the post-climate-change age.
