I'm norwegian and I just can't comprehend our irresponsible mentality on climate change. We discuss this issue as if we are abusing drugs and pretend like we need our next high because the last high was so good. We are completely ignoring how our activities are breaking down our body, our earth. We need to plan how to remove our addiction, but we can't see a future without it.

We say stuff like, "drinking might be bad, but just look at our smoking, that's much worse! We have to focus on stopping our smoking before we stop drinking." And "if I stop smoking, I'm just going to drink more."

It's easier to envision our death than a life without oil.
