"Global warming is happening, and secondly, it is due to humans. The whole weight of the evidence has simply increased to show that stuff is already happening."
"The UN climate change report says that recent extreme weather events have resulted from a rise of only 1.5 degrees in global temperatures over the last 150 years, and that a further increase of at least 2 degrees is expected over the next 50 years. According to the previous IPCC report released in 2001 , the very worst case scenario sees the earth’s temperature rising by 11 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century."
I have promised myself from now on to always buy ecological alternatives whenever possible. Whats your promise?

"The Rich Flemish Cycling Life" by Karel Van Wijnendaele.
A book about cycling sport written by someone who experienced it from close by. Very beautiful and fascinating written in the old Flemish style and language anno 1943, the middle of the second World War. Van Wijnendaele is known to have linked cycling and the Tour of Flanders to Flemish emancipation, in a time when the Belgian elite was still French-speaking. His articles fed the myth of "the Flandriens", Flemish men who rose above their humble origins and became cycling champions.
Karel Steyaert (Pseudonym KAREL VAN WIJNENDAELE), born in Wijnendaele (1882-1961) From 1902 to 1905 he was a cyclist. He became a sports journalist from 1907, and was the organizer of cycling races (including the Tour of Flanders). He also became race commissioner, track cycling director, general secretary of the Belgian Cycling Federation and selection boss of the Belgian team that participated at the Tour de France (period 1930 to 1948).
In 1909 he became an employee of the Antwerp monthly magazine "Our Champions" and also from the magazine "Sportvriend" from Izegem.
In 1913 he founded the magazine "SPORTWERELD", a daily newspaper of which he was editor and owner. In 1938 there was a collaboration with "The newspapaer".
Karel Van Wijnendaele is the founder of sports journalism in Flanders.
