Endings

Now that my Philosophy and the Environment course is over, it may be time to shut this blog down. Few people visited here regularly, and even fewer are likely to do so from now on. That's the reason I didn't post on the Bali conference, which in any case was probably more too little, too late to save the planet -- or, at least, to save human civilization. There will of course be a huge upside to the coming catastrophe. Certainly pigs and bees will be better off once we're gone. Worst-case scenario: a few bands of savages will survive in the ruins, to start the whole mess over again. Best-case scenario: Gerda kisses the reindeer.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

The blog was a great part of the class. It's too bad most people didn't take advantage of it. They missed out.

All the best and thank you for the great lectures. Happy New Years.
