"We have recently received a document concerning the climate change that all of us can perceive. The document entitled "Don't fight, adapt - We should give up futile attempts to combat climate change" has been sent as an open letter to the UN Secretary General. As its title indicates, 100 specialists are urging us to accept climate change not with resignation but with enthusiasm, arguing that CO2 is essential to photosynthesis. I’m no chemist or biologist, but I haven’t been able to ignore the dramatic climate changes taking place in recent years. I can’t help noticing that we no longer have four seasons, but two. I will not resign myself to the idea that in ten years’ time I will be skiing indoors, on a 100-yard slope. I will not accept the notion that I can only sunbathe between 5 and 7 a.m., for fear of getting skin cancer. So I say to myself – I couldn’t care less about their photosynthesis, what I want is to go skiing, to sunbathe and to lead a normal life."@en1
