aw yes....the climate.

Everyone should think like this regarding our bleak, scary future.

I mean, anyone who has kids, or perhaps just more than two years more to live, should be pissing themselves in fear of how the climate is changing and dragging the earth beneath the sea. And filling the air with carcinogens. And making the north and south poles melt.

Did you know that the West Antarctic Ice Shelf is in serious danger of collapsing? Initially it was thought that the collapse of said Ice shelf would raise the waters of Canada and the United States coast lines by 5 metres. But now, for reasons of crazy physics and geophysical factors that I don't have the patience to explain, the sea level would in fact raise much much more than that.

So good-bye southern Florida. Adios San Fran. So long Prince Edward Island (and that means you can kiss goodbye the tastiest potatoes EVER). Think the tide change in the bay of Fundy is impressive? What if the low tide suddenly became what is currently viewed as the high tide? Not so great anymore.

So all you old, bearded dudes who run things, you may not care that the world is fucked, 'cause hell, you'll be dead by the time things really go to shit, BUT I care. A LOT.

Is this not a mad, world-wide case of cognitive dissonance?



Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a paper to write, and I'm so screwed. I should not even have made a post today, but Luke's rant got me all riled up.
