2011 NESS Part 1 – The 10th Nordic Environmental Social Science Conference, Stockholm

Climate change and the story of two planets


Two planets meet in outer space. One is a beautiful blue marble planet, while the other is a very sad planet, in a poor shape.  The beautiful blue planet asks the other:
-          What ‘on Earth’ has happened to you?
The other says wearily:
-          I’ve got Homo Sapiens!
The beautiful blue marble planet answers back:
-          Don’t worry it will pass quickly!
