(Caleb voulait bien aider Kalia à finir son assiette !)
J'ai eu une réaction à mon article de l'autre jour sur le rechauffement de la planète. Voilà un autre un peu dans le même genre, qui illustre le problème de fond - à mon avis - qui demeure même si le rechauffement de la planète n'était que du 'poudre aux yeux'.
Il s'agit de nos amis les pécheurs, à qui on dit depuis des années, "attention, y'a bientôt plus de poisson", mais qui continuer à pêcher encore plus. Il y a un bon article en anglais ici sur ce sujet. Ce n'est qu'un métaphor pour notre société occidentale en générale - en sait qu'on va dans le mur, mais on est incapable de s'arrêter...

I actually managed to get a reaction to my previous post about global warming. Here is another post in the same vein, which illustrates the real problem - in my opinion - which remains true even if global warming turns out to be a myth.
I read an article recently about our fisherman friends, who've been warned for years now that there won't always be more fish in the sea. There's an interesting article about it here. It's like a metaphor for western society, I think: even if we're heading for a cliff, we just can't bring ourselves to stop or change direction.
