"There was a weatherman on t.v. last night, who told us that in parts of Spain, the amount of rain in a week surpassed the monthly mean by ten times. Yet, not a sound of worry. It is still thought that the changes in climate through man's stupidity, would be something of the future. No word of the One-Pro-Mille necessity, Master."
"Certainly there is a general soothing over of the calamity everywhere. Imagine it happening to us, here, and in the form of snow!"
"I do not understand."
"Take our flat roofs, for instance. They are designed for a calculated snow-load, there is a safety factor, but is it a margin of ten times? Then, think of the elderly people in their small separate bungalows. Have they food enough for two weeks isolation? Do they know of the oxygen that the heater uses up, and that is blocked entrance by a meters high blanket of snow? As always, due to our stupidity, the giant numericallity, catastrophe is always just around the corner. The media know nothing of this, they can only sooth it away."
