Modern live is unthinkable without insurances. A whole industry is living off the uncertainties of live. People have insurances against theft, fire,  car accidents and so forth. Let’s not forget the Health insurance debate in the USA, where about 90 million people do not have it. A part of our salary is deducted for pension  and unemployment. Also a form of a insurance policy! The insurances are taken as a precaution, to be...

Is the year 2012 the end of the World? Some people believe it to be so, because the Mayan calender (1) ends at 2012. This is enough reason for some people to panic. If the Mayan calender stops here, it means the end of the world! In fact, December 2012 just ends the B’ak’tun, a period of time in the Mayan calender, after which starts a new period.

We need the air, the water and the soil to live. On the other hand, we consciously know about the dangers that nature poses for us. Earthquakes, floods and wildfires were, and still are, a serious threat to our survival. Today we know what lightning and...

Glenn Beck, it seems, is a controversial figure. I do not know much about him, since I am not an American and I am not too keen on television anyway. While researching on the Internet for a new post, I came across an interesting video of Mr. Beck interviewing John Coleman, the founder of a weather channel on TV. Mr Coleman states, that the Climate Change is the greatest scam in the whole of history. In the beginning of his show Glenn...

The Specter of a Climate Change is haunting us. While we stare at the Gordian knot and hope for the best. Someday something or someone will cut the knot and the specter will be exorcised. We still have time, this is what we all want to believe. But this is only wishful thinking. The old year was an accumulation of floods all over the world.
