"There is a perfect lunar eclipse in July 2047. That is also the moment, when the old normal is gone - heat records are routinely shattered. The Earth passes climate departure in 2047 – then we have to say goodbye to the climate we know. The coldest year in a certain place after 2047 will be warmer than the hottest year anyone there has ever experienced. It is in 30 years. In July 2047 a METI message transmitted by Russian teenagers in 2001 to possible intelligent extraterrestrials will arrive at its destination 47 UMa star, a yellow dwarf star 46 light-years from Earth. In July 2017 I´m building a shelter which does not shelter on a float that does not float. The girls featured on a video are in 2047 the same age as I am now."
