(russian):
Panel 1:
GISELLE: Yes, but the authorities on Rapa Nui were guided by an insane superstition that further destroyed their livelihood, while we have reliable, scientific results as a basis for our actions.
Panel 2:
BRUNO: Oh right, really? And then why have we failed to deal with global warming, overpopulation, pollution and resource scarcity despite all that science? Ever since the former US President Jimmy Carter published the Global 2000 report 95 years ago, mankind has been warned.
if people had taken action then and acted on this voice of science and reason all over the world, it would not have been too late. Our planet would still look reasonably intact.
MIIKO: Researchers have repeatedry issued warnings. And more and more urgentry.
Panel 3:
VILIS: Who says that the priests on Easter Island weren't also warned?
BRUNO: Good point! And maybe there was even a chieftain among them who would have liked to turn the tide, like Jimmy Carter almost a hundred years ago. Or how it really happened in Japan, under the … um, dog Shogun.
Panel 4:
MIIKO: Tokugawa Tsuyanoshi?

In 2078, the Earth's land area has decreased. Some megacities, starting with Jakarta, have drowned. The climate effect would have been even more severe if the many nuclear and hydrogen bombs that had been dropped had not stirred up an enormous amount of dust.

Sometimes Giselle seems to be a little naive.

Remember it's not the fall that does the damage. It's the landing. So concentrate on getting the best landing, not trying to somehow fix the falling. 😉

There are always possibilities.

Let's hope so. Although when you're already falling, it's hard to climb up.
