yes, you heard me, Global Warming Paranoia!
AHHHH!
because everyone else is talking about it.
Okay, people, listen.
We live on a planet that is tilted approximately 23 some odd degrees away from the sun. It rotates and orbits around this burning orb at the same time. Okay, astronomy lesson out of the way, the planet is NOT perfect, and we all can agree to that.
let me throw another lesson at you before I continue.
If the Big Bang was January first, and today was December 30th on the cosmic calendar, our recorded history as humans (that means everything we wrote down or drew on a cave wall) would only take up the last 20 seconds of Dec. 30th.
Okay?
As one of the only intelligent species that inhabits this rock, we feel we must take it upon ourselves to keep everything perfect. This is why we mow our lawns, organise our washed dishes, dust our shelves and tables, and so on. This is of course, part of our overly complicated mating dance to get with the other half of the species, but it is, largely, our attempt at keeping everything in our world pristine and sparkling. This comes to the invention of running water, textile manufacturing, and Cub Cadet, John Deere, and New Holland, to name a few. Our planet has had more than one Ice Age, and no I'm not talking about the movie where Ray Romano plays a talking mammoth. Even though we could have been fine with only one of those. Our planet has endured many hundreds of billions of years without humans in the mix. And we have the audacity to think for even a moment we are causing what's going on now?! Let's face it. Going green is nothing more than another attempt at keeping our world pristine. Too much trash? It gathers and dispenses heat, and it smells bad. Landfills. About 70 years later we are realizing this is bad for our environment?! Bullshit, I says. It's because we are overfilling our landfills. Trash is spreading because our first idea (landfills) didn't take into account that we are multiplying at a rate of a new person every 6 seconds. This makes more trash. Well, shit, look at that, our towns are expanding, and so is our pile of trash. looky here, a new suburb next to a landfill! Guess who's going to fill it. Nobody with an aspiration to make over 50,000 dollars a year. So guess how they make money? MORE KIDS! And guess what that means? A sparkling new suburb in a landfill. Until the kids all start getting sick and blame it on the government? Ever wonder how thinking green can affect your home? There you go. We are using going green to explain to ourselves what's going on with Earth. We are coming upon another Ice Age! End of story! Recycling's good. Less trash. More room for humanoid expansion. Soon we'll be living in graveyards with our children complaining the water tastes like dead people. I'm glad I won't be around to see it. I chuckle at the prospect. Don't get me started on what the hell Toyota started with the Prius. Everyone driving a Hemi Challenger, Charger or Mustang will look at the Prius people and say "wimps." Everyone Driving the Prius will look at said muscle car owners and go "pricks." Welcome to high school. My eagle Summit gets a whopping 42 to the gallon, can you believe it?! it was made in 1993 and runs on....GASOLINE :0
You know we have become a society of lazyasses when we don't want to learn how to drive a manual, even if the cars are 16 years old and don't look like Japanese Ferrari's. Get over it. I am willing to sacrifice a little chunk of my manliness to drive a car I barely fit in, But I can drive to the western edge of Iowa and back on one tank of gas.
Point is....
One Space Shuttle mission adds as much damage to the ozone as we will in our entire lives. Stop trying to be good to our earth and just let things happen the way they are supposed to. We, as humans believe we have an impact on something far bigger than we can imagine. Stop looking at the hole in the ozone layer and start looking at the holes in our society where a school shooting is treated about the same as a car bombing in Iraq.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!
What we do today will have as much impact on our environment as trying to take down a barn with frozen peas and a straw.
Enjoy what we have.
We will be long gone by the time the new Ice Age rolls around.
