Nordic effects in London - A future winter tourism destination?!

With the atmosphere heating up in Copenhagen world climate summit, the weather effects are felt a bit everywhere, and as one knows only what one sees through the senses, these effects may be beyond what we're actually aware of.

c) London snow


The Queen takes the train instead of all her other (carbon producing) alternatives (not being this the reason necessarily) and Prince Charles takes his (not so carbon efficient) private jet to attend the summit. At the same time, limousines are driven from as far as Germany and Sweden to serve the delegates...
As time is running out, one starts wondering what will be the postures of the world leaders present and if they're actually reach an agreement or leave before it.

London gets covered in snow and people try to work around it with more or less joy, but certainly with a white Christmas feel to it!

At the same time if we add this to other environmental changes happening over the last years - floods, fires, unusual high temperatures or a blending of the seasons of the year -, we can wonder when action is finally taken... when the biggest polluters actually pay their fee to help solve their own problem...

Well, without any activist riots coming from this side, let's just wait and see what comes next... but hands on to take action in any way possible, everyday life is certainly a good start to create the world we want to present the future with...
