I haven't read everything, but till now the subjects you comment on are also my subjects. That is why I started my flickr series. I also am thinking of taking a photograph of one of the melting glaciers here in Switzerland. For me it is very very scary, but if you try to analyze the world we live in then the signs have been very visible. For example I think it was in 1991 or so when the ice man appeared from the glacier on a moutain top between Austria and Italy. (His nackname in German is Oetzi.) But that really got me thinkng (even more) about climate change. He was buried in a glacier for 5000 years, and therefore preserved in the ice. And all those ice layers melted so much that this mummy came to the surface. So, Al Gore may have popularized the subject, for which I admire him enormously, but the signs were there before. Al Gore and others think that if enough people act environmentally correct, that we might... maybe... revert or stop the climate crisis. I can tell you what some of us are doing in Switzerland (we have those melting glaciers and more and more mud slides every time it rains)... but later. // Ange Halle, Switzerland Melting ice and our responsiblity to society to act environmentally correctly…
