An inconvenient truth

First of all a note to our English readers: sorry for the large amount of Dutch on the website. As you may have noticed it started off in English, but we found it difficult to keep this up. Hope you like the pictures...
As you may have gathered by now, we survived the different trails we wanted to complete, spent some time in Vancouver, and at this point in time we are in Utrecht where Rebecca received her PhD. Travelling back and forth between time-zones has severely scrambled up our sense of time and by the time we're used to CET, we'll be back in Vancouver.
However, sitting in the plane has enabled me to whatch two so-so films (X-Men 3 and The Sentinel), but also the documentary presented by Al Gore, called "An inconvenient truth". As a graduate of Science & Policy I have always been interested in energy & climate matters, but Gore's documentary updated my knowledge. It is certainly a documentary worth watching, well presented and quite interesting unless you are restless and used to exploding cars on TV/film screens. Go see it!
Rebecca and I had just read "Nature's End" by Whitley Strieber and James Kunetka, a 1986 novel about the Earth's state of affairs in 2025 and the world depopulation movement trying to solve problems by "voluntarily" killing off people. Interesting to see how bleak the authors thought our future would be.
Reminds me that we have to buy off some of our guilt by getting "Trees for Travel"...
