Tommy Martinović, my cousin from my father’s side, came to see me yesterday. He owns an apartment in Novigrad, and he comes over from London every so often. In his mid-forties, he has been living in London for a quarter of a century now. Information technology is his field, and he is doing reasonably well. We talked about all sorts of things, including my book about climate change and what is to be done about it, which I sent to him a while back. He was not surprised when I told him that there had been no reaction to it from any quarter, including the best newspapers across Europe and the States. The way he sees it, contemporary capitalism is about the present and nothing but the present. What might happen so many years from now is entirely irrelevant. For the time being, climate change is of interest only if it can generate some money soon. So far, few see it as a profit opportunity worth pursuing. And that is that. My book is thus completely off the mark, as is Pope Francis’ encyclical about climate change, which we also mentioned in passing. Not even the pope can get people going at this stage. The glorious present is all that counts right now. Tommy has a point, no doubt. Living in London, one of the international financial capitals, one can appreciate the world affairs from a special vantage point—that of the quickest profit. Everything else is for the birds, including the approaching doomsday.
