« Visual Digg-ing | Main | A monster's coming » A world in flamesJasmina has written a very personal account of global warming's impact on Serbia. Personal, I say – this piece helps me realize that global warming is really a set of personal stories played out against dramatic climate shifts and personal attempts at mitigation (or defiance). In the end, no matter who we are, how rich or poor, how loved or unloved, we're naked and small against the forces of nature. If there is any justice in this injustice, is that global warming has no borders or nationality, and yet it has guilty and victims. Guilty: all of us who ignored inconvenient truths and sacrificed the ecological conscience for other more or less legitimate priorities. Victims: everyone yet to be born on our damaged planet; when crops wilt and forests burn down to black stumps, does it matter if that wasteland is called Kosovo or Serbia? jon posted this at 3:08 PM |
