Challenge Climate Change
The challenge of climate change
confronts us with the question, under which conditions we want to live on our home planet mother earth. A sustainable development
so that also future generations can satisfy their needs seems necessary. We must sustain our living basis, because there is no second earth where we could fly to.

Some thoughts at northern winter solstice.
Stefan Jung • 21. Dezember 2024
The longest night and the shortest time of possible daylight.
For the balance of the living conditions for humanity on planet earth it is time to change, e.g.:
Time to get away from fossil fuels like coal, crude oil and natural gas.
Time to accelerate the wide use of renewable energies like wind power, solar energy, waterpower, tidal energy etc., near surface and deep geothermal energy.
Time to practice sustainability, e.g. in agriculture, forestry and fishing practices.
Time to use material efficient and energy efficient technologies in buildings, transport and industries.
Time to enhance democracies, even in developed countries. Time for more democracy.
Time to end wars and live in peace.
Time to end famines and homelessness.
Time for access to medical care, clean energy and clean cooking technologies for everyone.
Time to enhance ecosystems and biodiversity on land and in the seas.
Time to think about tomorrows and what would happen if we do not act in time.
From tomorrow on possible daylight time will increase again for the next half year in the northern hemisphere, maybe it will also bring more light in the darkest brains.
