There is a certain degree of living a split reality in regards to ones perspective of upcoming external calamities. If I would have actually acted on my beliefs 15 years ago I would not have gotten involved in a coastal eco villa project in Thailand, nor would I have bought South Florida properties and nor would I have exposed myself to the discretionary spending of tourism here in Panama. Instabilities hit discretionary spending first and the threat of sea level rise one would think would have effected coastal real estate. All the investments have proven profitable, our high season this year will break records, there is nothing on the horizon that I see that will slow down the visitor count. The unseasonable dry spell here has broken, rains have come, the cloud forest is healthy, jaguars and tapirs and keystone species are still here, etc. etc.
I look at Ibon in the 3rd person because he is an internet forum identity that indulges in the ecological calamities and consequences that are up and coming. Often with quite misanthropic points of view.
The real organic me is a friendly host serving guests, excited about sharing nature with others. I almost never talk about ecological doom with guests unless they bring up the topic, and even then I refrain from giving them the full Ibon.......
Am I the only one split here?
