Dan Bloom, a climate blogger and reporter working out of Asia, picked up a troubling fact from the great scientist James Lovelock--that soon we will see polar cities--and has worked relentlessly over the last eleven months to make the world pay attention. He's beginning to make headway: a Chinese blogger picked up images he posted on his site, and he's about to get a break from some major media here in North America. This has made me wonder: Am I getting too scattershot in my efforts on climate change? I talk about culture, music, science, politics...maybe I'm losing my focus. Feel free to comment. (Or not.)
But for now -- congratulations Danny! As long as we think the climate will remain more or less the same, we are not likely to change our lives. Reminding people that polar cities are in our future, unless we make drastic changes, is to force people to pay attention to what needs to be done...now.
Here's an image he helped bring into being, of a polar city circa 2500...
