WEATHER STATIONS

opportunities to learn and to see, I came to realize that we don’t actually know enough
about our environment and how species on this planet survive. It’s this ignorance
that enables our human ego to eat away what’s left on this planet. Education about the
environmental crisis has to start in primary school with very young kids. And I really
think the next generation will be our best hope. Indeed, they are our only hope. There
is a positive side as well as a negative side to almost everything. It depends on what
you make of your experience as a human finding yourself in whatever field you operate
in. The most difficult part for me has been to translate scientific language into literary
language, which has to be done in writing and public lecturing. So I hope this bitter
Canadian writer will read what I wrote from those trips, if she is not too busy moaning
about the End of the Nature. Now, the nearly two-year-long Weather Stations project is
coming to an end. But I feel that I have only begun to scratch the surface of the whole
thing. The story has only just begun. For sure, we are not at the end of history.
