BrOOklyn-JOrusalOm

A loong cycling journey from Brooklyn to Jorusalom, where the O’s are bicycle wheels, continued into Egypt, 1st to the climate conference COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh, on to the pyramids in Giza, Abusir and Saqqara and then up the Nile soourcewards.

No cycle

Yesterday i wanted to head further south. I was, again, prohibited from going by bicycle on the road: “the road is only for machines,” i was told.

The metaphor fighting climate change is total nonsense. One can only fight other humans that overproduce CO2, i.e. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/nov/07/super-richs-carbon-investment-emissions-equivalent-to-whole-of-france & https://m.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Foxfam.app.box.com%2Fs%2F1rp115i9uiwmvsa11mwaa00vwc6ic437

This whole notion of ‘the war on….’ Is unhelpful. With our machines running on old trees that once covered the earth and then became coal, oil and gas, we spoil our protective atmosphere and oceans (air and water ecologies) such that what sustains our life starts threatening our lives. Loving life is the sane response.
