People are leaving like lemmings from a sinking ship. We are leaving soon and we count the seconds till we go. Moscow 2010, mega city of polluted hell.
I know this is not a climate change or political blog but I have to shout at the top of my voice. When will politicians the world over act and stop climate change what are they waiting for? The weather is changing accross the world, summers and winters are giving us floods, heat and cold that we have never seen before.The love affair with oil must end now. Sorry to be political but it scares me to death.

.....Update 11/08/2010: Yesterday and today the smog has lifted a bit. Maybe this is due to Captain Putin flying over the smoke and commanding it to leave or the mass sacking of public officials? The real problem is due to authorities not having enough money, old equipement and due to very bad planning.....oh and climate change causing hotter summers.

The reason few governments want to do anything about climate change is because it will cost trillions of dollars, which is quite high especially considering the ongoing economic crisis. Another reason is that they're stuck in the "prisoner's dilemma" where few Western countries want to do anything when they know China and India will do absolutely nothing.
ReplyDeleteIn either case, great blog. I'm moving to Moscow soon and although I'm a native Russian, I actually grew up in the US so this blog is very helpful.
