„The climate crisis is here already.“

No. A crisis is a temporary event that you enter and exit, strengthened by many lessons learned and challenges overcome, if you're lucky.

The climate catastrophe, on the other hand, will inexorably and irreversibly turn our world upside down forever, will kill a vast amount of people and destroy trillions of material value.

The only question is whether we will manage to contain it to an extent that our civilization is not being destroyed to the ground. Every day we go on ignoring this fact is rising the risk of fucking this up completely.

We greeks are once again on world news for our incompetence at doing...anything.

Every year around late july and august we see the same shit. Either a disaster or a big scandal from Greece makes international headlines.
