A nice thing about a day of music around climate change: there's plenty of opinions around, the topic seems to be paramount (I'll look forward to the evening news...). N24 interviewed a climate change expert from Potsdam.
Why watch telly-on-the-wee-screen when it's on TV, dummy? Apart from that I anyway had to soft-fiddle for half an hour to NOT getting sound out of the machine (I normally use iTunes but that doesn't seem to work here, as the download is sponsored by Mr. Bill...).
