   CURRENT IMPRESSIONS FROM PLANET EARTH (I)

   In an interview survey on subjects randomly selected from around the world, concerning the changes in climate and the environment in general, housewife Helga Kramer currently residing in Frankfurt, Germany, has this to say:
   - It’s never... quiet anymore, is it? I, for one, have to think real hard to recall a calm day or night, where the wind is not blowing. Oh, there were strong winds before, too, of course, there has always been... But not this... constant noise everywhere. And the heat... we used to have winters you know. A calm blanket of snow. The first snow could come already in October and the cold last till March. I remember snow in the end of April. It’s not my imagination, you know. I’ve heard some people say it is, that we don’t properly recall the weather in our youth, when my great grandfather says the climate and the weather has changed completely since his youth, he’s just forgetful... But I tell you I don’t buy that for a minute. It’s not difficult to sense the major changes, you know. All you have to do is listen and take a look out of the window... In my opinion some people «fail» in doing just that. And still they’re being hailed as «experts».
