Er hat fnf wunderbare Nationalparks geschaffen, die heute alle Juwelen des Artenschutzes sind und positive wirtschaftliche Effekte entfaltet haben.

Wir in OWL knnen jetzt die Chance nutzen, von seinem Wissen zu profitieren.

Morgen, am 28.04. wird er um 14 Uhr am Forsthaus Steinbeke (Sandweg 49, Bad Lippspringe) sein und eine kurze Exkursion ins Naturschutzgebiet Egge-Nord in die Wildnisflchen mitmachen.

Danach geht es nach Nieheim -Eversen ins Dorfgemeinschaftshaus (Navi-Adresse: Eversen 152, 33039 Nieheim), wo um 17 Uhr eine Veranstaltung und Pressekonferenz mit Professor Succow stattfinden wird.

Its getting harder and harder not to conclude that humans are an utterly unrepentant parasitic species bent on destroying its host with haste and prejudice. There is no other conclusion possible or plausible at this point in our evolution. Wasnt always this way, didnt have to be this way but regrettably, here we are on the eve of destruction. Cant say we dont deserve what we are surely going to get at this juncture, but it makes me sad for my grandchildren and future generations in general. It is they who will pay for this folly.

I was born in November 1970. I grew up knowing that climate change would come.

As far as I can remember back (to an age I could comprehend the meaning of what scientists said) there was always talk and discussion of how the climate would change sooner due to the human industrialisation.

Now I wonder am I the only one with that memory
