After seeing the latest news on another Arctic creature suffering because of global warming, I can only shake my head. Why, as mature adults, isn't this the No. 1 issue in our country and the world?
After seeing the latest news on another Arctic creature suffering because of global warming, I can only shake my head.
Why, as mature adults, isn't this the No. 1 issue in our country and the world? I don't understand how anyone who's read a book to their child on the wondrous creatures of the Arctic (Baby Beluga comes to mind) isn't incensed. Or the home of Santa Claus? So we're going to lose beloved creatures both real and imaginary now?
And isn't it obvious that, in addition to the immorality of killing off entire eco-systems, that the sinking walruses, polar bears, and native villages are just the proverbial canaries in the coal mines?
Scientists always wait for the evidence to be absolutely clear, but let me be the first to tell you. It won't be long before we're standing in lines for water rather than our cafe lattes. I'm talking famine. If you can't have fairly dependable weather year-to-year in our farming regions of the country, then those trucks coming to your local grocery store are going to be empty.
There's a good reason the native peoples loved the environment so much -- they loved the food the Earth provided.
I've been on two vacations in the past two months. One was a lake in the low Sierras that was experiencing a record, shocking low, and another was in New England where 80-degree weather and record drought is making much of this year's foliage turn instantly to brown.
I get chills when people -- of all political stripes, BTW -- tell me about the weather changes in their regions. The drought in Virginia, the heat in Chicago, the ancient dried lake in Florida, it goes on and on.
Are we that soul and brain dead that we can't even fight anymore to save ourselves and our children's future? Why aren't we taking the Earth away from these maniacs in the White House? They are KNOWINGLY letting this planet die for short-term oil profits, as insane as that sounds.
Let me tell you, when the chips are down and this gets worse, the government will not be there for you or your family. TV will not be there for you. Celebrities will not be there for you. This planet is being destroyed for human habitation and sooner or later a lifeboat mentality will set in. It ain't gonna be pretty.
We should impeach those bastids in the WH and anyone else who is an obstacle to an immediate, global campaign to get this thing contained.
Rant done.
