The climate change and the cooking pot

Today I want to talk to you about another type of climate change.  Some places have four seasons in the year, whereas others have only two. Each season has its own climate and harvest potential.  God is the only one that makes the seasons change and maintains the climate, however human beings are the ones that cannot sit still and always look for change.

We have seen the big debate on the negative climate change that is leading slowly to global warming, desertification and large areas. However, in my opinion, we have also started to see a positive climate change. This time, it’s not about the weather, but about the social climate change. 

Last year, four Arab countries managed to successfully lift the lid of the cooking pot. We have yet to see if they will manage to change what’s inside the cooking pot.

This reminds me of the damage unexpected storms can do to harvests.  Both farmers and change-makers need to realise that taking off the lid is not the end, but the beginning of a long-term process of social climate change. A cooking pot brewing for 35-40 years is bound to have some problems.

I would also like to advise the young change-makers that the national pot doesn’t belong in the national kitchen, but in the international cuisine, doing everyone proud.
