Ein mitreißender Essay über die Conditio humana in Zeiten des Klimawandels | Mit einem Vorwort von Luisa Neubauer
by Nikolaj Schultz, Michael Bischoff, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Luisa Neubauer
Hitzewelle in Paris. Nachts liegen die Menschen schlaflos in verschwitzten T-Shirts unter ihren Zinkdächern. Soll man nicht besser die Klimaanlage anschalten? Oder macht das alles noch schlimmer? Und was ist eigentlich mit dem billigen T-Shirt, das über Tausende Kilometer nach Europa geschafft wurde? Der Autor bekommt Panik, will den Temperaturen und seinem schlechten Gewissen entfliehen. Er macht sich auf nach Porquerolles. Doch auch die Insel ist nicht länger unberührt, sondern ein überlaufenes Touristenziel. Im Sommer ist das Wasser knapp. Die ikonische Plage d’Argent wird von den Einheimischen nur noch »Bakterienstrand« genannt – wie in einem Prozess der umgekehrten Alchemie wird aus Schönheit Schmutz, aus Silber Dreck. Nikolaj Schultz’ Erlebnisse und Begegnungen werfen existenzielle Fragen auf: nach der Verantwortung jeder und jedes Einzelnen, nach ethischer und ökologischer Orientierung im Anthropozän. Seine Antworten sind nicht immer tröstend, aber er findet Einsichten und einen Ton, der ihn zur Stimme einer Generation machen könnte.
