Still not warm enough to swim at Hook of Holland, but it´s really alarming. Here work is in progress to keep the country safe from the rising sea - I hate to think of how the delta dwellers unable to protect themselves will do.

When people speak of greed, it sounds like a personal failing is at fault. When we talk about banks and corporations, I think about forcing essential institutional reforms. As long as people's incomes depend on destroying the planet, and if one person changed, someone else would step in to take a share of that gravy train, describing the problem as greed misses the point. This is a structural failing, not a lack of individual virtue.
