It's Getting Hot In Here...

Ok, it's been a while. I haven't been spending much time on the computer as of late, just been trying to get back into being physical, and doing stuff around the house. But, here's a new one for ya.

Some people worry about the environment too much. You know the kind that I'm talking about. Those that recycle everything, making sure that all of our precious pieces of paper are placed into the recycling rather than into the garbage, since we all know that the paper is going to go to the dump where it's going to decompose anyway since it's made from trees, and dead trees decompose. Sure, there's some bleach in there, and that's likely what all of the conservationists are all after, that precious little bit that's going to make it into our water supply, where we're going to add it anyway, along with a host of other chemicals to make it fit for human consumption.

Why are these veggie eating junkies not complaining about our water supply, or better yet - refusing to take part in it? I'd love to see them all fading away in the summer heat waiting for the next rainfall to catch some "natural" rain. Or perhaps drinking out of some "natural" mud puddles. No milk moustache to be found there.

Then there are those that make sure that all compostable foods are not thrown into the trash, and that they compost everything that they can, making sure that it doesn't make its way to the dump where it might be eaten by a bear, and said bear might be allergic to shrimp.

And if anyone should not be eating the cockroach of the sea, it's bears. Well, except for Yogi, but he's got that good old Ranger's picnic basket to subsist on. The rest of those hairy b@stards are omnivorous scavengers that will eat anything, really.

Let's face it. Everything that we have here on earth should in some way be able to be broken down since it's all made on earth, and if it's made here we should have a way to "unmake" it, if you know what I mean - a way of reverse engineering it back into nothing. And if we're using one of these things that we've made, and there's a way that we can unmake it, we should make sure that the process for both is there before we use it.

After all, if we're to stop the evil "Global Warming" then we'll need to make sure that we're taking better care of everything in regards to carbon, methane, and toxic waste. After all, if we don't, we'll all die a horrible death when our climates become like that of the Aunt that you visited in your youth whose house was kept at a temperature similar to the surface of the sun. Or, we'll come to the realization that our changes in weather are cyclical and that there is nothing that we can do to stop the Earth from making the changes it deems necessary to protect life.

Assuming the former, I have the solution. It's very simple, and it's an intellectual approach. The solution is found in most cars, trucks, houses, and virtually everywhere that we've killed everything so that we can live.

What is this grand solution you ask?

Easy. Let's turn on the air conditioning. After all, if air conditioning is cold, and the world climate is becoming too warm, we could use this magical force that we've created to fix the problems that we've supposedly created. Think of it, if we built a few giant air conditioners on each continent then we could bring back the ice in the Arctic and Antarctic, as well as dictate our weather on almost any given day.

"Now on to tomorrow’s weather. Al Gore has let us know that due to today's cold front from the giant A/C in Los Angeles, ENS, creator and maintainer of the giant A/C will shut it down for tomorrow so that we can be treated to a day of warmth and sunshine. Scientists at ENS predict temperatures across the west coast of North America to be 40C to 43C, with a chance of acid rain later on in the day...."

Can you just imagine how glorious that would be? We'd have polar bears at the equator, and humans living at the poles. The penguins would move from the Antarctic to somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere, and a few of them would likely move from the Zoo's in North America. Maybe they'd end up living in the Aztec ruins. And of course Americans would be forced to move elsewhere and be immigrants somewhere else, and everyone else could, and would complain about them being illegals.

Maybe it's not all that realistic. Maybe building giant A/C units to control the climate of the Earth as we slowly go closer to the sun isn't a wise idea. But then again, it might make the end of it all a little less distressing.

Rantfully Yours,
