In spite of the storm we had great temperatures in the last 10 days.
Yesterday we had a record warmth recorded on the mayor weatherstation of De Bilt.
The 10 day's average is 8.1 C right now. The average over the last 30 years is about 2.5 C. There must be a greenhouse effect in it.
Nature responds with early birds returning (yesterday evening I heard some geese, but they were not going to far north) I see trees developing leaves and blossom. Rare, but in the last decade almost normal.
But when winter hits, nature will face an enormous setback. In about a month the first bird will lay an egg, I 'll tell you. It's absolutely abnormal but true.
April is the month for the first bird and in May all birds will have laid their eggs.
We are changing the world's climate wanting more, more and more.
As consumers we want food from the other end of the world, while transport is environmentally ineffective. Why do we do that? Why don't we pay the fair price, I mean environmental cost included?
It's because we don't know the effect of the pollution or we minimalize it.
But everybody does it (flying intercontinental, consuming local food from the other side of the world, using too much energy, etcetera, etcetera) and it becomes a huge problem.
