The World of 2108

The World of 2108 Commentary by Captain Paul Watson (Co-Founder of Greenpeace)

I was asked recently what I thought the world would be like in 100 years. The question was meant to solicit if I am an optimist or a pessimist.

The fact is that I am neither an optimist nor am I a pessimist. I am an ecologist which means that I view the world through the eyes of the laws of ecology and I try to do so as objectively as possible. I have faith in the laws of ecology, and I believe that these laws will ensure that the planet takes care of itself for billions of years more as it has for a few billion years already.

I actually find all the hysteria over global warming and climate change to be somewhat amusing. As an environmentalist I was speaking and writing about this problem thirty years ago. Of course my opinions were dismissed then as were other voices of ecological realism.

It just made sense to me back then that if we pump carbon into the atmosphere in the volumes we have been doing for over a century that there would be serious ecological consequences.

Infuse @ Mission Rock Wrap Up

Infuse @ Mission Rock Wrap Up We Returned, we Rejoiced, we Rocked it !

We at Opel just wanted to say a resounding thanks to all of you who came out this past Saturday and made Infuse: The Return as special as we hoped it would be. So many faces from years ago, we're very grateful, warm and fuzzy you guys came out. Wish we had more time to spend with you! And lots of new face as well, we hope you come back for more.

Check the Pics on MV Galleries.

Thanks to all the dj's who brought it and those of you who lasted until the sunrise and breakfast!

Opel will be lying low for the rest of the summer, wish we could say we were resting from this epic weekend, but instead, we're instead gearing up for our sister community's annual project at Burning Man - the Opulent Temple.

We'll see you next at SF LoveFest!
