After several weeks of heavy rains, today’s blue sky is a godsend. It is still a bit chilly in the morning, but it will get quite warm by the afternoon. According to the weather forecasts, it will be sunny for several days, and the temperature will keep rising. The only fly in the ointment is that much of the Balkans is flooded. Serbia and Bosnia have been hit worse than Croatia, but all three countries have been hit hard by greatest floods on record. All told, there are more than fifty people dead by now, but the number of casualties is rising all the time. Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated, and it is anyone’s guess how many more are still to be evacuated. For the largest rivers in the region are still rising in spite of the blue skies. The floods are reminiscent of those that hit Germany and several neighboring countries less than a year ago. What is going on? Climate change, of course. By and by, everyone on the planet will be affected by the weather in unmistakable ways. And people will finally realize that the only remaining question is survival. Survival of the fittest, to put it bluntly.
