HISTORY
OF THE END OF THE WORLD
DON'T
TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER, LET'S TALK ABOUT CHANGE
It
was in the early years ot the 21st century, that the
weather turned into which was later called a non-winter, short
periodes of cold, followed by springlike episodes. An economy based
on mobility could not cope with this kind of weather. Icerains
blocked the roads, to freeze again in the evening. In the meantine in
protected areas, flowers started to blossom and birds started
courting. There were people who thought that they were realising
these effects themselves and in fact they were true. Our state of
mind has always been mirrored by the world around us and in the same
way we influence this world environment. Climatechange is caused by
us. Not by burning up fossil fuels and using every possible part of
the world to maintain an illusion of wealth and growth. In effect it
was the other way round. Beauty and life disappeared in favour of
concrete, highways and skyscrapers. When man is indifferent to or
endageres nature, nature gets indifferent to man. Water falls, water
flows and it always finds a way to go. This mancreated, unnatural
environment effects your vibes, numbs you down and makes you forget
who you really are. And so year after year the world looses its
sparkle and starts sending messages of pain. Floods, draughts, fire,
earthquakes or birds falling out of the sky.
But
let's talk about the weather.-side of change. In five years time the
weather had disrupted the routines of public transport. Travellers
were advised to travel only if necessary and to carry a blanket and
something to eat. Like the situation on the Titanic, where they had
not enough lifeboats, the daredevils who tried to go by train,
learned that the brandnew trains had no toilets. With the compliments
of the management. On television overpayed managers said things,
every five year-old could have said, and got away with it.
This
country, which once was seen as a luxury estate at the sea, with
parks, woods, waterways, beautiful cities and villages. Every aspect
of an inspiring environment was present and in recent years the
European ecosystem was slowly destroyed to be replaced by a
electronically controled artifcial environment; an economiccal
battlefield. And they liked it. They flocked together at
manifestations, parades, musical performances and commercial
sell-outs. They all drove by car around and around, with the result
that the occupants of the MIR-station could not see the Kingdom of
the Netherlands at all. Which was fine with me. Danger always comes
from above, so they say.
