It is "El Niño", stupid!

"El Niño" is going to create severe and prolonged climate changes during the next few months. That is what NASA just released in a Dec. 29 statement (read it HERE).

Please, try not to do the logical inference from "El Niño" -> Temporal change in climate, but the other way round: Climate change -> Change in "El Niño" features.

Better now?

I really find it hard:

a) to understand the way we try to teach our "pupils" today. I just inherit the aims others had before for the subjects which I give lectures in the university for.

b) to understand why students today do NOT want to learn.

Will I have to re-invent myself before being able to teach?

Will I have to learn the very basic foundations about how students acquire knowledge?

The Aral Sea: the sea that was

We are able to reach the most commendable achievements, but our power to destroy is infinite.

There were port-cities in the Aral sea. The cities are still there, but the sea is not there anymore.

The water was necessary for something else.
