Quote of the day

Quote worthy:

"Debata o globálním oteplování není, nebo by spíš neměla být, sporem o to, jestli existuje, neexistuje nebo jaký vliv na něj má činnost člověka. Klíčová otázka je jinde. Jakým způsobem a v jakém okamžiku dokáže člověk nejlépe daný problém řešit? Nejsou ideologicky motivované aktivity dnešních vlád jen přehlídkou nákladných projektů, které mají jen minimální šanci dosáhnout jakéhokoli smysluplného výsledku? Není dokonce možné, že vláda svými projekty typu podpora solárních elektráren situaci zhoršuje?"

"The debate about global warming is not, or rather should not be, a dispute about if it exists, doesn't exist, or how is it influenced by actions of men. The key question is elsewhere. In what way, in which moment can man deal with the problem? Aren't ideological activities of today governments just a show of costly projects, with minimal chance to achieve any meaningful result? Isn't it even possible, that the government with it's projects, like support of solar powerplants, is making the situation worse?"

Translation by me.

There is a lot of wisdom in those words...

So many big governmental projects are words and costs, with no benefit...

So what do you propose to be done about it?

Yeah. And then what, burning it for clean energy?

People need to stop believing in empty but pleasantly sounding promises. As much and only as much...

That's what the dude was talking about. Biiig problems, no real solution. Where you stand now, when you go to work, could you pick up a piece of garbage from the pavement and throw it into the trashbin?
After that use that big allergic brain of yours how to dispose of that all

I am known for and joked about in the neighbourhood for picking up plastic bags, bottles and cans on my way to and from the lab to put them in the trash...

Brain time then

Fucking haikus man

You're missing a season / weather reference.

Through a mist I wade
Smoke of the rarest tea leaves
Adventures of mine.

Haiku seems to me a picture of Japanese society. Very structured.
Also, I chuckled.

To think I have some tomes of haiku poetry I could not finish since I was 20... It is hard to read more than one a day.

It is so rare when people can listen...

Let's cherish those who can.

I'm not sure if it's obligatory to use weather references.

And DAMN, that hit hard.
